This is NOT a popular sentiment during the Christmas season. Don’t get me wrong, when I’ve watched it, I have felt moved and cried at the end, but I also would find myself feeling resentful and angry in the couple hours following the movie. I could sense it was triggering me somehow.
You know when you’re in an airplane and the steward does the demonstration and tells you “in the case of an emergency and a drop in cabin pressure, put your own oxygen mast on first before assisting other passengers.” It’s cliché but most people miss the point. Have you ever stopped to consider WHY? Because if you don’t put the oxygen mask on yourself first, and you lose consciousness, you are unable to help anyone else.
