Rating: G

He’s happy, Pat thinks as he comes down for breakfast - hair still askew, sweats fresh from the dryer for his run - Mom’s making eggs and the lingering bacon smell draws him to hover over her for a taste before it’s even flopped onto the table. The Eagles are up ( Read more... )

Man, I have got to see this movie. It's been on my list for... forever.

This little drabble is amazingly visual! Or maybe I should say amazingly sensory. That can be hard to do in 100 words, but I believe that Pat's happy. I love that last paragraph.

It's *excellent*, even if you don't like Bradley Cooper. The only issue IMO is if you have any connection with mental health, it's worth it to plan on taking several breaks. I'm bipolar (as is Pat) and had to stop like four times just to have a good cry because so much of it really hit home for me. The whole film is very human, and I love it despite the pain.

And thank you. :) I'm glad it worked out well for more than just me!

I love this movie and I love this piece. It's like a denouement that makes me even happier about how Pat and Tiffany ended up.

I'm just utterly in love with the film, and will likely be embarking on the task of watching it again this weekend because it's worth the emotional roller coaster for me.

<3 Thank you for your kind words, I love them to pieces and it just gives me hope that some day I'll find someone who understands me and isn't afraid to push the buttons that need pushed. :)
