OT - Angel Eyes

arfie

I'm currently binging on the movie, "Angel Eyes." I think I could choose a favorite star in the sky more easily than I could choose a favorite movie or song, but this movie is definitely on my list of faves. I may have it memorized by now, but I still pick up on another detail every time I watch it.


This time around finds me wondering if it is a demonstration of the healing mysteries. I interpret that both main characters suffer PTSD from radically different traumas, but throughout the movie they repeatedly, often unknowingly, help one another through the challenges of the healing process.


Anybody seen the movie?

I've never heard of it.... I just looked it up..... When I read your post I thought of the Jeff Healey song right away

I looked it up and it reads like a good film

Jeff Healey … God bless his soul

Angel Eyes is such a good movie. You feel sorry for Catch dealing with PTSD and essentially blocking out everything and then all it takes is one person to bring him back. Im going thru similar. Not to his extreme but Im blocking out a lot of pain and misery and hoping a similar situation happens

Nyerin, Sharon's cPTSD is connected to domestic abuse, but I thought of you in the scene where she and Catch officially meet for the first time while she was shot in the line of duty.

Yeah that I can see very easily. When he plays David Bowie's "Nature Boy" at the bar...omg thats killer. The other ripping scene is at the end when he talks to his family. Its a moment where he realizes it was never his fault and he must move on but remember them. I actually see a lot of Catch in me in various aspects

Catch's mother-in-law was a minor character in the movie, but I read her as his main supporter in surviving his trauma. She even helped Sharon through the confusion of helping him out of his shock state.

Yes she was on the outside looking in and the key to unlocking Catch's traumatic event

I'm not sure the loss of a daughter and grandson is an outside perspective, but. . .

I wish I could be a mother-in-law just like her.

I meant it as in when her and Sharon discussed the accident and Sharon began to understand

From a literary perspective, she was, indeed, an outsider to the main plot.

Truth is a many faceted gem. Shift the perspective a fraction of an inch and the entire picture changes. Little things make big diffs.

It is currently streaming on Netflix.

Great movie. Jim Caviezel and Jennifer Lopez compliment one another beautifully. I'm not sure which of those actors I admire more.

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
