Hey, no worries. I think that the movie really is a marvel in the way it imagines the fundamental human condition - the individual and the community - in this amazing way despite the obvious Christian stuff.

Nothing more sublime than Donna Reed’s breathless “They’re coming George!” The finale of the movie is really something special. Your late father had good taste. It’s a humanist (in the best sense) masterpiece.

I might write more next year but when I post about it I’m usually fairly drunk and weepy.
