Shadowlands

After watching the movie, especially in the end I was blown away by Lewis. This movie, was able to capture the true meaning of love and what it is to love, and the sheer gratitude of grief and pain, that come with the loss of such a loved one. The way Lewis was portrayed, was actually exactly how I had pictured him in my head, the way he thought and articulated every word he said. The man who was able to write such a profound book, yet struggle when attacked by the same problems of pain he wrote about, yet he was able to find his faith and restore it in a child. I don't know but Shadow land was more than I could have ever imagined it to be, how he wrote about the pain he felt, how he could no longer go to the places they had been, and how her essence had swallowed him, and wrapped him in a cloud of grief. He was able to work his was through it and find the bright truth which allowed him to find his peace and to remember her face again.
