It's about a woman who is diagnosed with terminal cancer. So she decides to move to into an expensive nyc loft and live in sheer decadence in her last three months to live, never leaving the apartment. I bring this up because the majority of the movie she gives up on faith and believing things will be alright and refuses to suffer and accepts she's going to die and just enjoy what's left. Everything was going so well for her...until the end. And that's basically the best part of the movie: the end. You should see it. Anyway, I'm a romantic for faith and at the same time a cynic. What I notice from your grandpa's story, and this movie, and various other things is that faith manifests itself in different ways and different perspectives not just something religiously based. And when you think your faith in something has run its course, there's always something else to inspire faith. Because all in all, i feel like faith wells up from inside of us. It's something we create, therefore something no one else can truly control. And i admire people who can keep the faith, even staring down the barrel of adversity.Siren of Titanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098036171375337648noreply@blogger.com
