Great film. So much more than stunning scenery and awe inspiring achievement (that too is wonderful stuff!) , but a study of how we want to fit in this natural world, particularly as we and our loved ones age. I've faced many of the same questions addressed in the film, from those two perspectives of "young" and "old". I really like the view of adulthood not being abruptly defined as closed chapters, but instead as an ongoing and growing process - such is life. I too remember seeing my father's aging frailty for the first time, and couldn't believe my very own Superman was somehow becoming less super. I soon accepted that he and my mother would never become less than meaning everything to me, and that their "super powers" was and always would be in our relationship. That's where one's true strength lies.
Anyway, sorry for my blab, and thanks for this Jim.
ps . We're planning a trip to Vancouver Island next summer and hope to dip (Satan) paddles in Clayoquot. We'll see how that goes.
