I haven’t had a chance to fully unpack my feelings/thoughts about this movie. I know it was originally a play and that the playwright used it to wrestle with his experiences with religion and with his own weight, which suggests Charlie is basically his author insert, but I think we're meant to see Ellie as the author in the film who is “just trying to save us from [her] own sad story” who thinks her life would be better if she could just kill The Whale, her father Charlie, but that in reality it wouldn’t help at all. Thomas is tricky. I think he means well, but he has a lot to learn about the world. Him returning back to his family in the end feels right emotionally, but it’s also the place where he is least likely to grow. I agree that the last few minutes elevated the film. Darren Aronofsky has never been a subtle filmmaker, and this is definitely one of his most understated films, from a film-making/stylistic perspective, but knowing that this was a play and that they appeared to remain faithful to the source material, keeping it all in a single location, I’m especially curious about the ending. I can’t imagine Charlie lifted off the floor at the end of the play. Prior to this film Brendan Fraser was probably most successful in the 90s with films like; “Encino Man”, “School Ties”, “George of the Jungle”, “Gods and Monsters”, and of course “The Mummy”. “The Quiet American” from 2002 was good and, of note only because you've recently started watching BtVS, he was also in a little seen film with Sarah Michelle Gellar in 2007 called The Air I Breathe.
