Gee, Valerie, I am totally awed (you know, like, "Totally
awesome") that you would comment on one of my postings... I
guess you accidentally didn't notice who it was from...

But, anyway... 

I was really pleased to find someone else who thought what I had
suspected, that the bearded man was indeed Eddie!  It reaffirms
my belief in ontology... it also makes it a really outstanding
movie, in my opinion!

The first time I saw it, I missed that ending, and thought Eddie
really had died, and thought it was a cynical commentary on the
way the media sensationalizes dead people's lives.  Now I see it
is really a story filled with hope and direction, not unlike the
ending of "The Ninth Wave"!  What a relief!

What a great movie!
