The movie thread

Watched Patriots Day (about the Boston marathon bombing) yesterday.

Really enjoyed it.

 

saw that while i was looking for something to watch..will give it a bash

the door to a follow-up movie was left wide open: that explanation she gave to the daughter as to why daddy was no longer around. that's a big question unanswered in the movie: what did he mean she was on the wrong side?

 

Not sure I understand your question: Is this what you are talking about?

 

"As the ending clarifies, Louise has a choice to allow events to occur as she currently perceives them… or to not let them happen in this way, sparing her the pain of losing a daughter she already deeply loves by denying that kid a chance to even exist. As fittingly revealed out of sequence, Louise asks Ian at the end of the film that if he could see the whole story of his life, would he allow events to transpire exactly as they do? He responds with a wishy-washy answer about how he isn't sure right now. But we already know from a previous memory of the future that Louise and Ian's marriage ends because she tells him too early about what she knows. As Louise vaguely explains with paternal love to Hannah, she told Ian about the choice she made, and he thought she chose wrong.

 

For Ian, watching Hannah die from an incurable disease made their whole marriage, and the whole story of their shared live, unendurable. However, as with most matters in regard to bringing life into this world, it was the woman’s choice. Louise’s choice. She chose to allow Hannah to be born, and as a result, she exercised her free will by enjoying her life story’s organic telling."

Ah, yes. Now I remember that. That's what I think as well. 

 

Different views on bringing a child into this world KNOWING they will suffer from an incurable disease and die.

Watched Manchester by the Sea last night. Quite an endearing film and Casey Affleck's performance has received a lot of attention in the build up to the Academy Award nominations. Definitely worth a watch if you are into that sort of thing.

I'm getting a bit tired of the Peter Berg/Mark Wahlberg love affair. Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon, Patriot's Day... It's getting to the point where you can fall asleep in one movie and wake up in the next and not realise you are watching two completely different movies.
