“Curiouser and Curiouser”: A postscript on Quentin

Yesterday early afternoon, I posted my piece about the Quentin Coincidence and sent a link to my husband to read. 

That evening we settled in to watch a movie that had come out in 2014, directed by William H Macy. We hadn’t seen the movie and hadn’t even been aware of it. The movie was called Rudderless. Neither of us knew much more about it, so had no expectations. Here is the set up for the film from IMDB: 

“A grieving father in a downward spiral stumbles across a box of his recently deceased son’s demo tapes and lyrics.” 

At the turning point in the film, the father played by Billy Crudup meets a young man who alters the course of his life. The character is played by Anton Yelchin, who died tragically two years after the film was made. I found the movie very compelling and quite well done. The theme of the movie is about a tragedy that really has no answers. 

We had to pause the movie though, because when the young man introduces himself to the father, he tells him his name. His name is… 

                Quentin

All things in life are connected. RIP Anton.
