As we talked in previous thought of mine I had a few ideas already sketched out, and then I caught a few moments again tht makes me cry again,
Steven Spielberg directs Richard Dreyfuss, holly Hunter John Goodman and Audrey Hepburn in a beautifully written, filmed and acted movie about life and loss. One of my most favourite films of all time. Dreyfuss and Goodman play pilots who put out forest fires, one day Pete (Dreyfuss) is killed during a particularly bad blaze, and God (played by Hepburn) returns his spirit to give inspiration to another pilot. Unfortunately this pilot falls for his love, Dorinda (Hunter), and he just can't let go.
It's a beautiful tale and there are a number of moments that are incredibly touching, the ending is particularly emotional, with Dorinda flying across the moonlit lake quickly running out of fuel and Pete sitting behind her spilling his heart. Yet for me there is one scene that hits me bang on, that's after Pete has been watching the new pilot having dinner with Dorinda with the two of them flirting and falling for each other, and he's powerless to do anything. Then they begin to dance and you can feel the pain and anguish in Pete's heart, Dreyfuss delivers a stunning moment of intense emotion. Unrequited love and the pain of the person you love being someone else's, that'll hit the mark every time.
What's different about the emotion's I felt here is that it's not all sadness and negative feelings, but there's so much that's positive about it, and even though you may be crying you'll find yourself smiling through them. This was also true of the way I felt about Always
Okay, now I've told you mine, can you think of some of yours?
