My favorite scene 💞

This is a beautiful and powerful movie about love and redemption. The flawed main character is reminiscent of John Proctor in Miller's The Crucible (who bravely faced a similar dilemma and fate). I was shocked when I went on-line and found most film critics failed to appreciate it, but I was heartened to find regular movie viewers saw it for the true gem it is. It does what every good tragedy should do: leave the audience uplifted.

Even as a manly man...the last 10-15 minutes as he's about to die always brings a lump in my throat and tear in my eye.

Definitely.

Earlier in the movie: "His own dog didn't recognize him." That oatmeal-for-brains prosecutor was too ignorant to even consider the possibility that a dog would know his Master's scent. And then there was that two-sizes-smaller foot template. Not taking that even one Angstrom Unit further LOL

You’re telling me that she couldn’t tell he was not her husband? So, she couldn’t tell that he kissed differently?That is bed she couldn’t tell that his body was different?

[@ssnettey]

Her husband looks exactly like to Richard Gere so it wasn't about his looks; it was his personality, specifically her "new" husband is loyal, honest, and loving while her "old" one was a womanizing, abusive, brute. The selling out, as you would put it, makes more sense in context.

[@spuriouseffect]

When my best friend divorced her husband, she finally told me how abusive he was. The boyfriend she had before she got married was really good looking, and so funny and loving, but once she had him wrapped around her finger, she somehow lost all interest in him. There was no challenge left. Her husband on the other hand cheated on her, verbally and physically abused her, and treated her like a subservient. but she saw him as something strong, and exciting, and wild that she had to tame. So many of my friends love that drama. I have no idea what they're thinking sometimes. Anyway, she cried when we ran into her old boyfriend years later and saw how happy his wife and kids looked. She traded stability, happiness, and laughter for excitement and turmoil. This is the story of most divorced women I know. It has to be some primordial, survival of the fittest, genetic type attraction thing going on. It certainly isn't logical.

@@spuriouseffect no offense but she sounds like an idiot

[@spuriouseffect]

@@basedandchristpilled The majority of women are. Something like 80 percent of women surveyed are exclusively chasing men over 6 foot, while only 14.5 percent of men are over 6 foot. LOL

[@basedandchristpilled]

@@spuriouseffect I don’t understand the height thing tbh, I mean if you can get a tall guy great.. but personality is the most important factor imo. Also taller people are more prone to disease and die sooner lmfao. Chasing a man because they have a certain physical trait is idiotic

[@spuriouseffect]

@@basedandchristpilled You're right, it certainly looks idiotic from a logical standpoint. Most women chase men for 1. financial stability, 2. physical traits 3. personality, 4. emotional strength. Love rarely comes into the equation. It's more of an afterthought. Men are the ones who write most of the love poems. Men are designed to provide for and protect those they love. Women are designed to make sure their offspring are protected and cared for. If you look at it that way, women are simply following their genetic programming to find the strongest man they can find that will provide the most for their offspring. Feminism has flipped that on its head though. Now women get ran through by those "top tier men", and expect decent men to pick up the pieces, or they label all men "misogynists" and live the rest of their lives with cats. A glaring example of this is found among black men. 36 percent are married with children. 50 percent are not married and have no children. And 14 percent of men "father" the majority of children with multiple baby mamas. So that means 64 percent of black women are sharing the top 14 percent of men, while ignoring the rest. That's a recipe for disaster. Institutionalized marriage was probably designed for this very reason.
