Is the meaning of life a process? Does the result matter?
If the final result is that you can't get anything but memories, then you are deceived and lost in the process. Does it matter?


Pippa felt this was his last chance. Just be with this old man, get rid of the fucked up life, move on, move on.
Marrying an old man, from the beginning of loving carefully to being sweet to death, and then having nothing to say, I got some things, got a stable life, got an attitude of appreciation and love, and got... What?
When in the end, he was captured by Pippa before he passed away, and he didn't leave a perfect memory. How can I convince myself at this time?
Tell yourself that the memory does not have to be perfect, because he is the only memory, no one can match it, and it is impossible to be replaced.
In Lucinda Williams' i lost it at the end of the film, I suddenly realized that
no matter what kind of person you meet or what new experiences and ideas you have, it's not because of that person, but because of yourself. It's like, Pippa didn't do anything for Chris, the crazy potential was deep inside her and it wasn't Chris's business. Likewise, Herb didnt change anything of her, he just inspired those potential, those hidden quality out of Pippa.
Everybody, like you and me, have different layers of our personalities. we'll meet different people, have different angle of ourselves discovered .
I think, that, is wonderful.

  • Sam Shapiro: [beginning of film: toasting Herb at dinner party] I have known Pippa Lee for 25 years and I think that I will really ever know her. She is a mystery... an enigma... giving, caring, beautiful, intelligent... the very icon of an artist's wife.

  • Pippa Lee: [after leaving hospital where her adulterous husband who wanted a divorce has been declared brain-dead, she is sitting in bed with Chris, eating french fries after having climbed through his window] So... it's official, nobody needs me anymore.
