This film made me think about my own life. About how much shame I have felt for being like Moby Dick, a big dumb animal, how angry I have been at people, how many times I've said I'm sorry because I am so disgusting. I would be disgusting even if I wasn't so fat, because I abandoned my daughter at such a young age to cheat on my wife with an adult student. Then I tried to fix it but it was too late.
I feel so much regret that I refuse to go to the hospital even though my BP is sometimes 238/134. I refuse to buy health insurance even though I have plenty of money in the bank. I'm saving it for my now grown daughter who hates me because I want her to be happy and to not hate everyone and be miserable.
She is perfect in my eyes because she is honest. She thinks she is a horrible person but she isn't. She cares about people. Do you know how much BS I have heard in my life as an educator? I just want to do one thing right in my life before I die and I'm doing that by helping her see that shame is such a toxic poison and that empathy is the antidote. That you must forgive yourself, daily. My name is Charlie and I'm a character in this most wonderful adapted screenplay.
