Lost in a Dream

At the beginning of the movie I was really confused as to why Willy seemed so hostile. Then later it was easy to see that Willy was withering away and losing all sanity. All he really wanted was to raise successful business men, but he couldn't face the facts of reality. He didn't want to come to the realization that neither his boys' nor himself would amount to the success he had set forth to achieve. Willy was sort of in his own world throughout the whole movie and lost his connection with reality by continually dwelling on the past. I think it was really sad that his family had to suffer and he didn't seem very remorseful. I mean he did cheat on his wife after all. Alright. That's my piece.

  1. Yeah. I totally agree.
    Sometimes I didn't know who to feel sorry for. Poor Willy was losing his grip on reality, but sometimes he was so hostile to his family! Such a sad movie.
    Good post!
    :]
