Celia's prayer (SPOILERS - don't read if you haven't seen the movie)


SPOILERS*********


























I don't think Celia ever met Izzy in life, did she? Her only connection to him was the brief prayer she sent his way when the ambulance went by. She must have recognized that the ambulance turning off its siren meant the person inside died. Her brief prayer was a tiny spark of love sent to the dying/dead Izzy. This split second of love translated itself in Izzy's dying consciousness as a whole loving relationship.

Is this anyone else's take on this ending?

It really made me think because I almost always send a little positive good thought towards anyone I think might be in need of it.

Like Kinsey Millhone said in one of Sue Grafton's novels "Who knows what part we play in someone else's dreams."

I wish I understood this movie a little better. It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

yep, it's my take too.

i don't mean to sound...errrr...arrogant or anything, but really, could there be so many different ways to look at this end?

i always thought it was quite clear...but hey, who knows?

one amazing and beautiful movie anyway.
