About
a year ago I took advantage of a simple opportunity. I’d been spending plenty
of time at a particular library. This library kept their DVD selection in turn-styles
very near the study desks, or cubicles – the desks which are lined up alongside
power outlets for those who plan to stay enough that they’ll need to recharge.
I spent a lot of time at these desks. I walked past these turn-styles a lot. This movie in particular stuck out to me because, back when it’d originally been in the theaters, I remembered seeing the television previews frequently & quickly became interested. I never made it to the theater to see it. Here it was in the library. Almost taunting me. Available for checkout. I had a library card. Bingo.
After watching it, & I did enjoy watching it, I quickly found myself turning the styles on each of the alphabetically organized DVD racks standing tall between the question desk & the studying desks. I found this trilogy & watched all three.
I then happened to see this movie & found it appealing. I was working on finishing up something I’d been crocheting & popping in one more movie would be helpful.
Working in customer service the word “entitlement” becomes bold. Most everyone is looking for their extra "coupon" or discount if they just make that one. more. phone call, then they've a chance for someone to pick up that slack for them.
This movie, which leads to a trilogy of its own walking the viewer through a storyline of love via a few generations of family, serves to express how having a task, learning it, learning how to do it well *&* making the work of that task the embodiment of one’s character while completing it, is satisfying. This "effort" is what brings purpose, meaning, & definition to the phrase about each of our tombstones when "they" say, "it's about what we do with the time during the 'dash' in between the numbers" (indicating the year of our birth & the year of our death). Such as this & this.
These movies are great & it's nice to watch this nostalgic version, although it's a bummer that Drew Fuller doesn't play the character "Jason" in each; it breaks the momentum up a bit despite the character having much fewer scenes.
"Just remember eight feet from the center."
"What?"
"Lunch will be set about 11."
"Well how far am I supposed to go?"
"Don’t worry, you’ll run out of posts before you run out of Texas." "I wish I had a dollar for every fence post I ever set." "Matter of fact I do."
"Whatever it is I have to survive [it] until…when I’m finished."
