Heartbreaking...

I don't know about you guys, but everytime I watch this film it tugs at my heart. It's such a happy ending in so many ways, in that Grace and Pilgrim are healed, but Annie and Tom...everytime they say goodbye, it gets the waterworks going! I mean the book isn't any better, but ah it's just the way she gives him false hope 'one last ride' and she leaves, and then he watches her from the hill without her knowing...
I wish it could end with them together, but then it wouldn't be so heartbreaking...

Mr. Redford made his characters stronger than in the novel, in my opinion. And I agree this version is perfect in telling a story of finding love and chiming someone else's happiness over their own.

If we can save humanity, we become the caretakers of the world
