“Ben!” Michael exclaims as he runs through the pouring down rain, trying to catch his son’s attention. Once again Michael tries to yell but can’t because his life is fading away. Ben had the door to the taxi open but heard his father yell, “Wait Ben.” Ben turns around and see’s his father lying on the rain-soaked ground. Ben immediately turned and ran towards his dad with tears streaming down his face. Samantha runs out of the taxi towards her fallen dad with her mom running directly behind her. The whole family huddles around Michael’s dying body in the road. With Michael’s life fading he stutters to his son, “Family comes first,” and Ben repeats it showing that he understands his fathers last wishes. Michael also tells his daughter Samantha how much he loves her and that he is “sorry he didn’t live to be 200 years old.” Then Michael turns to his beloved ex-wife Donna and whispers “I’m sorry,” then hands her a note he wrote her the first date they ever went on. This note reads, “Will you still love me in the morning?” With tears Donna replies aloud “Forever and ever babe.” Michael trembles and shakes as he takes his last breath. The rest of the grief-stricken family watches as their father passes away.

I haven't seen the movie yet but your description of this scene makes me curious.
ReplyDeleteThis movie was on T.V. yesterday. Christopher Walken is my favorite. I've actually never seen the whole thing, but now I want to.
ReplyDeleteGood use of "space" words to set the shape of the scene.
