Train Dreams

WOW! I mean just...wow! Such a tragic and yet beautiful depiction of life and its tragedies. This is definitely a movie I will think of for a really long time. A lot of people focus on this movies cinematography (and rightfully so, its out of this world) but the story is as incredible and beautiful. This movie is exactly what cinema and us humans need more of in general, none of that cash grab slop hollywood is putting out these days. I love how this movie is so traditionally unique and I mean from every perspective, any other movie would've forced Robert to find what we would normally call purpose you know, like finding another love, or becoming a successful man or something, but he found it in his own different way. We are all or at least I am really obsessed with leaving a mark on this world but despite his tragedy, he makes peace with his silence and goes out quietly just the way he came into this world and lived with that same peace and quiet. We may not realise this in our very inter connected world but this was the life of alot of people back then and probably for some still is and thats okay and beautiful.
