Love the theme stated. The best example in a recent movie is Captain America: Winter Soldier, Cap is at Agent Carter’s bed (death bed?) and she tells him “SOMETIMES THE BEST WE CAN DO IS TO START OVER. This doesn’t sink in to Cap because she coughs and he is focused on her health. But throughout the movie, things start over. Shield is destroyed and has to start over. Bucky, the Winter Soldier recognizes Capt America and Robert Redford orders The doctors to wipe his memory clean so he no longer recognizes his old friend. Even Cap starts over by putting on his old uniform. Every main character starts over in this movie because sometimes the best we can do is to start over.
Hey Kent Graber, i agree with you.
This is excellent stuff!!
