I just watched the last (maybe) 7 minutes of the movie "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" with Steve Carell and Keira Knightley and I think I have seen the movie before in its entirety and knew the sweet heartbreaking end was coming. In the end, as they lie in bed talking, trying to distract themselves from the eminent ending quickly approaching, Keira's character Penny says "I'm scared" and "I wish we had more time". She is frightened but you can see she's trying not to panic. Steve's character, Dodge, is calm and asks her where did she grow up. The peace he has found with the knowledge of knowing it's the end allows for the Penny to come to the same understanding that she, too, appreciates sharing this last moment with the love of her life. Her smile as the meteor arrives, (oh, if you haven't seen the movie, SPOILER! A meteor hits the earth.) Leaves viewers with the final view of Dodge's life; the peaceful smile of the woman he loves.
That into leads me to ask this question: with all the stress in this country right now, what if tomorrow held the moments of the last view if your life? What or who would you want staring back at you as the brightest light you've ever experienced envelopes your very being, ...
Just got a tornado warning. Gonna go now. Later...🤞🏾
