"Grace is Gone" is a movie produced and starring Pittsburgh's own Johnny Cusack. Music by john's friend Clint Eastwood, lyrics by Jamie Cullen. The film has its SRU debut on Wednesday, September 17th. It's a beautiful film about love, loss and healing. Surprisingly to me, almost no one likes this film for many reasons: its unpatriotic; its unrealistic; it exploits the sacrifice made by our troops; its another antiwar Hollywood movie. the list goes on and on. There is much symbolism in the film: Stanley can't "see," he takes his daughters to "Enchanted Gardens" (what does that symbolize?), and he tells them about their mom on the beach next to the ocean (ocean symbolizes what?), the three of them embracing in a small club house in the Walmart store, his daughters getting earrings, the eldest daughter getting a young woman's dress, all symbols Incredibly well done. Its a beautiful film about love, loss and healing, and thats all.
Grace is Gone
Can't find all the words yet
It's still not the time yet
And my mind can't think of anything
it only sees you
You know I am trying
God knows I am trying
And why does the wind keeps shouting out
it's still not over
I keep on trying
I think I'm learning
To live in hearts you leave behind
is not to die, Grace
Can't find the right place
Is there a right place?
Where I can make it all make sense somehow
and face tomorrow
I keep on trying
I think I'm learning
To live in hearts you leave behind
is not to die, Grace
The world go 'round some
We move along some
To live in hearts of theirs and mine
is not to die
Grace...
