Movie Night - The Spitfire Grill

The Spitfire Grill - 1996

A movie of Second Chances...

Surely I had watch it before, but in re-watching it, it goes beyond the plot.

Percy Talbott, a young women just released from prison, goes into a small town named Gilead to rebuild a life. Even with a rough start, what she found was much more, including friendships and hope.  Yet what she was able to bring to town became more valuable than it realizes.

Alison Elliott was wonderful, an artfully searching spirit.
Yes...it's a bittersweet tearjerker.
But, so worth the 3-box tissue award.

The beauty is in the hopefulness, beyond the cynical, ignorant, careless surroundings. It is a reflection and a comparison of those who are cognizant of the values in life and those who pass life by every day without noticing a thing.

Will there be redemption in a town name Gilead?
