Thanks for others useful and helpful comments

Thanks to "Author: Tom May (joycean_chap@hotmail.com) from Sunderland, England" for your very useful comments on the film. Like a number of other viewers I found the ending just too much. I just did not get it! However thanks to Tom, it now has clicked and made the whole thing so very much worthwhile. I thought the spiritual content of the film very useful and interesting, and, though not a member of the Savation Army I thought the beliefs and and portrayal of it very reasonable and respectful. The whole cast was wonderful, but I do have to give 10/10 to Ken Stott who threw his whole talent into the role which must have exhausted him.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
