Daily Dialogue — April 6, 2014

“Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here. Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here…”

— Forrest Gump (1994), screenplay by Eric Roth, novel by Winston Groom

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is prayer.

Trivia: When Jenny is throwing stones at the house where she grew up, she suddenly collapses onto the ground in front of the house. The image of Jenny on the ground is almost identical to that captured in the famous Andrew Wyeth painting, Christina’s World.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Is there anything more poignant in a movie than a prayer offered by a child… especially one born out of desperation.
