All the Light We Cannot See (2023)

I thought the film was wonderful and even if not identical to the book, certainly captured the essence. It is for general audiences except for very small children due to the violence of the war. I disagree with the bad reviews and am glad I watched it for myself before reading them. From Jocelyn Soriano:

I can’t help but relate to the movie when it comes to the time we’re living in. War may not exist yet where we are, but it doesn’t seem so far away. And we’re already living at a time of great spiritual struggle where there is a fierce battle between good and evil. Amidst all such darkness, let us not lose hope. The light we see around us may be growing dim, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be found.

“…the light you get from a piece of coal is actually sunlight. The point is… light lasts forever. For a billion years inside a piece of coal. But darkness… Darkness lasts not even for one second when you turn on the light.” – Marie, All the Light We Cannot See (Read more.)
