Emily Walker: Northfork

Northfork was an interesting movie about a town that was evacuated to make way for a hydro-electric dam. I really enjoyed the character Father Harlan. His character was interesting because he was a man of God but he fought for a town that he cared about. He looked after a dying boy and protected him from people that were not good for him. He had an interesting personality that combined grace and holiness with craftiness and ingenuity. I think that this combination of characteristics would make a great pastor in everyday life as well! The angels in the movie were very intriguing to me. They seemed very cold and distant, very much not what I would imagine angels to be like. There seemed incredibly set on finding the missing family member. I was a little big confused about the wings that the evacuation helpers gave to the families. I understand the symbolism but I don’t understand how they related to the little boy’s wings that
