One of my favorites. I rewatched it in prison in 2014, where it obviously hits differently. That fantasy finale of his father driving him to a nowhere town to start again just devastated me, such a powerful show of love. And, unfortunately, if you know New York, that final driving sequence reveals whether it's a fantasy, or if it really happened.
Thanks again for reading and posting your human thoughts and comments here. No experience of prison thankfully (and any film inside a prison always sets me on edge, the bars, confinement......) No experience of New York either but always saw the drive at the end as a fantastical dream (even before the obvious reveal) but it devastates me too.
