The heart breaking death of a salesman.

Initially, I thought this movie was insanely weird and boring. As the movie progressed, though, the plot-line began to unfold and things began getting interesting.
Willy is, honestly, one of the saddest characters I have ever read about or seen on the silver screen. My heart just broke every time the audience could see him talking to no one but himself. One scene that really sticks out in my mind is the one where he has just been fired and he walks down the rainy street, pounding his fists in the air saying "touchdown!" If that doesn't break someone's heart and make them feel sympathy for Willy, I don't know what would.
All in all, I did enjoy this movie. It was one of the most peculiar movies I have ever seen but I liked it nonetheless. I think it's very heartwrenching to see such a torn-apart family and a husband and father with such a slight grasp on reality.
Gracias.
