What I love most about this film is not just AMAZING Finch who represents that group of angels that we lose because they're alone in the darkness of their traumas but also that Violet is brave enough to be herself instead of pretending she's all cool just for the sake of fitting in. Because if she wasn't then she'd have to face her ghosts and demons all alone back at home, and that's not cool. In connection with that I also like the fact that the people around her don't just turn into dicks to make jokes about her taking advantage of her vulnerable status, as we are used to see in most American films... And that is refreshing. Times are changing, and they're changing for the best as we are becoming way more considerate, less rude and less stupid for the sake of being "tough" ever since we decided to leave behind all that end of the XXth century crap. We are becoming better people and I see that almost every time I get out of my head to have a look around. And I think that this film is modern enough to reflect that new freedom where we get to be whoever we want to be without caring about what we're gonna get in return. And if you think about it, that's the only way.
But this film is all about Finch. I got him. I feel the same way as he does. Always have, but I am a woman. We woman get more support when we are alone as it's easier to see our frailty. Please be generous. Don't be so suspicious so that you can see that there are more angels than creeps out there. There are way too many people who are just alone when it's too soon in life. Please be kind.
Thank you director and crew for making a film like this.
