I wasn’t wanted. So it always clung to me. Not really liking myself also. Then I married and I felt special. Eventually I got Ill and my wife did not want me anymore. My son lives with me but is growing and becoming a Man. I fought for my daughter and see her half the year. When I’m not with them. I’m “A non- person” Now I’m a spectator again. I see people/ couples “living lifestyles”. I’m invisible. Breathing without anyone noticing. I feel terribly lonely.
As someone who has fought depression and continues to fight it, the thoughts of suicide is just poisonous. When thoughts of it comes up it does feel like everything drowns out at times and nothing matters except just "going away"...
I know, when I was a kid I thought the movie sucked because I didn't see Liam fight with the alpha wolf. I mean I was disappointed because of the trailer and then the movie. As I got older I realized the meaning of the movie and hits hard once I understood it more
From Wiki: „According to Empire magazine, in the climactic scene in which Neeson's character pens a letter to his wife, Carnahan urged Neeson to "channel his grief" over the death of his wife Natasha Richardson.“ Understandable why this performance is one of Liam Neeson’s better ones.
Criminals involved with FASCISM shouldn't get away with using the Christian church for such things ! Everything about it is illegal to steal resources from the working class ! And BRIBE criminals at the Christian Church who should be in prison for these things !
I always liked to think he died but with the will to live. Which is much happier of an ending than the one he was going to give himself in the start of the movie
Liam Neeson put his faith & courage to sleep over the loss of his wife & his drunken father. Even though, he was keen to sacrifice his life because of the pain, he felt the need to live for something. Same goes for all of us.
The wolves in this symbolise the demonic forces of evil. Ever at work, relentless, unforgiving. One by one they devour each of the surviving members of the plane crash. Until Neeson faces the apex predator itself. The Alpha of the forces of evil. The wolf descends from the high ground, while the beaten up, worn out, exhausted, barehanded Neeson straps on some blades, broken glass vials and anything that he can find that will arm him against his nemesis. Then they fight. Thankfully, actual wolves are nothing like portrayed in this movie. They're loyal pack hunters.
I don't think the wolves in this are evil. I think they're death. Death isn't evil, just like life isn't good. Death just is. Whether or not he succeeds, Liam Neeson's character makes it to a place where he fights death rather than giving up to it.
@@dars5229 Tl;Dr version: that's another way of looking at it. Thank you. ------------------------------------ That's another lens to view the entities hunting Liam and his crew as. Essentially they do terminate the crew one by one down till the last one. They're relentless, cold, brutal. Attributes that characterize death. However just viewing it using the logical lens which focuses on tangible facts divorced from the subjective human experience rooted in the humanities doesn't account for the full picture. Essentially the field of ethics versus science. Science deals with the understood observable properties of our existence which inherently do not have good or evil properties. Death is one such property which at its surface is neither good nor evil. However scientific discoveries, which are then applied, have far reaching ethical implications and consequences of their own. This is where the fields intersect. The field of Law and Jurisprudence is also derived from and is a subset of the field of Ethics. In a similar vein, the number of homicides (in other words deaths) in a community can be measured as a statistic. However, the circumstances of each death are different, there are different severities/gradations of each crime (read evil). So, yes, the victims did all die. However they all suffered differently and their loved ones must be compensated by due retributions sanctioned by the laws of that community. And the (evil) criminal must face justice for the safety and sake of the entire community. There are ethical consequences for letting a criminal roam free which affect the entire community. This is the human element. The statistics do play a role and should influence decisions on the macro level. However, one cannot be indifferent to the ethics at play at the micro level that need to be addressed as well. In conclusion, reality can be viewed through multiple lenses. Each painting a different picture at various levels of abstraction. Which are all significant in understanding the human condition.
The hidden gem of this black wolf he first wanted to help them then like arrows on the back, decided a different turn in the end. So intelligent, lone wolf vibes!
I loved this movie but I wasn't really "inspired" by it. It's hard to say. I just don't see the point in making a romance out of suffering. Even though it's kind of what I do every day. I tell myself I don't kill myself because I'm too chicken shit. Which is partly true but something inside me just wants to see what happens next I guess. Maybe eventually I'll get somewhere that doesn't feel like an absolute fucking waste. But my self hatred is malignant and has been matastasizing for decades despite my best efforts. I just don't see the point anymore in anything. But I just keep trying anyway. It's inane, stupid, almost criminal for me to be wasting space that other, "better" humans could be taking up on this planet. Whatever. I don't even know why I'm saying any of this.
We're all in a tragedy. But, hey...it's a matter of perspective. You're alive...I'm alive. And every day is another chance to turn it all around. That's from a movie too😊
This film is so powerful and moving. It even moved me the way he went up to the wolf he shot, and checked it's heartbeat which turns into a soft petting embrace. The wolves literally save him from killing himself and give him back his desire to live and have Faith.
1:28 that whole monolog is exactly how I felt after my first love left me. Maybe that's why I identify with John Ottway so much, idk, but man this movie never fails to make me cry and not give up on life or love
