замечательный фильм - очень трогательный... на последнем письме Фрэнки я не удержалась - всплакнула...
актеры замечательно сыграли - интересно стало, кто-нибудь видел в других фильмах Эмили Мортимер?
самому Батлеру тема фильма, оказывается, очень близка - вот прочла сегодня одно интервью:
Butler grew up in Paisley without a father.
"I didn't even know he was alive until he turned up one day when I was 16 years old.
My mother left him when I was two and brought my brother and sister and me back from Canada, where we'd lived. I saw my father again when I was four but the older I got the more I began to think it didn't really happen, although I never asked my mum about it. It was something I kept very much to myself. And then when he turned up, it was out of the blue. I came home from school and my step-dad . . . who was only my mother's boy-friend at the time . . . said, 'Keep your jacket on, your dad's home'. I walked into this restaurant, going to the different tables, wondering is this my dad, is that my dad, which I can tell you was a bizarre experience, not really a nice one. When I saw him I sensed at once it was him. I didn't realise until then how much sorrow had built up inside of me."
He breaks off, unable to speak for a moment. "I'm afraid I find it hard to talk about, " he says. "So, that scene in the movie where Frankie comes home, and his mother says, 'Frankie, this is your father, ' it was like looking at my own life. I could see in Emily Mortimer something of what my mother had gone through and how she basically sacrificed her life to bring up the three of us. I actually had a great childhood. We used kick the shit out of each other, but we were very close. But there are things that lie deep down in your soul that you don't know you have until they're brought out. My mum has been through so much with me. She's seen the wonderful parts of my life, as I have with hers, and she's seen the worst parts. She's had to help me through a lot."
