Wildcat: I Have Trouble Finding Words
As my title suggests, it is hard to describe how I feel about this movie. By the middle I was overwhelmed with emotion. By the end I was meditating on life. This movie is so profound, original, well-crafted and executed. Melding her stories with her life may be difficult for some to follow but hang in there. As Flannery says in her opening comments, fiction is reality. The fiction writer that she was was a dark soul who lived to dig deep and find meaning in every aspect of life. Whether the meaning was positive or negative didn't matter. She had to live as long as she could and created other lives to live them as well. After seeing the movie I had to come home, sit outside and contemplate.
