 Forum Posts: 30 Comments: 9 Reviews: 3 | The standout for me in this movie were Keanu's eyes...they were so sad, especially when he was in the scramble suit. Keanu conveys so much with his eyes. I also love the scene near the end of the movie when Winona Ryder's character is talking to her boss over coffee. Her boss talks about God's MO and how we so often can only see/understand things after they've happened; that there is an underlying story being worked out that is not readily obvious...that resonates so much with how I see life. |
