The Last of Us (2023)
There are monsters, right?
I love monster movies and the story behind the infection was so intriguing. The first episode hooked me right away. In reality, I only started watching for the creatures. However what I got was two entire episodes on romance. What? Did they run out of special effects money? I always get more people than monsters. Guess what? I see people everyday. But a really good monster, not so much. Oh there's a monster, a preacher. How original. Once he started reading the Bible, I knew he was going to be a monster. This is such a worn out trope. I know many, many preachers and they are kind and strong people. But I guess that is not popular to say. So, let's just be lazy. Sigh!
Jack Goes Home (2016)
When I'm sorry is not enough
This movie expounds upon the insincerity of "I'm sorry", "let me know if there is anything I can do", or "sorry for your loss." When people are really hurting and we don't know what to do for them, just speaking these cliches can cut even deeper. A wake up call for how we treat the grieving. Jack responded positively to the woman who mentioned God. He needed real help, not just words.
