everyone’s in need of some form of repair

at one time or another.

At least that’s what i think. One song that I thought about at the end of the movie is John Mayer’s In Repair.

Doctors fix their patients by putting chemicals into their body to re-establish the kinda balance needed for them to function properly. Carpenters fix broken furnitures by reattaching those broken legs and missing screws. And every tangibles need some form of fix every once in a while. It could be an external blemish or an internal instability.

Movie mainly talks about post traumatic stress disorder after losing the whole family during the 9/11. Guilty are the ones left behind, painfully holding on to every little details left behind. It’s like a painful wound (and in this case, a huge one), it hurts yet you wanna touch it hoping that it hurts less knowing that it wouldn’t. But you do know that wounds don’t heal if you keep touching it. It was a difficult and delicate subject to maneuver, but I think this 2007 movie just managed to pull it off well.
