I think that A. Todd’s screenplay shows us how important hope is. Even in desperate times, hope must always be prevalent in order for humans to survive emotionally. There has to be something to look forward to. A way he held on to his hopes was with the arm of the gramophone. Hope is a key point in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We all must have it if we are to progress. Todd uses a very effective imagery of the man standing at the edge of a sea dock, packed for a journey. He is finally getting up and doing something. He wouldn’t have before, but he has been inspired, and is now in search of the truth.
Chloe’s screenplay seems like a take on personal imperfections. People aren’t perfect. They often have little quirks or things about them that make them self-conscious or make them feel stupid and guilty. Lewis sees her in her struggle and offers his hand to help. This is as Christlike as it gets. He lets go of his fear and initial impressions very quickly and still treats Grace like a human being. It seems obvious, but that can really be hard sometimes. In the end, her hair is truly beautiful and enlightening (get it?). She writes that Grace floats up, looks skyward, smiles and the image fades to white. This is a very clear way to represent virtue and peace. After this girl takes care of her issues on earth, she is free. This was all about seeing past peoples faults, and I relate to that very well, hoping others can do the same for me and deciding to make the attempt to do that for others. I don’t know much about artistic techniques yet, though I do feel that it was very well written, and its theme is very obvious.
