6106. IN THIS PART THE ANVIL GOES SOFT

IN THIS PART THE 
ANVIL GOES SOFT
Here's the crux, or the heart of the matter : some odd
literary phrase twisted into movie use. The storyline breaks 
when the hero goes home, wounded but still indelicate and
yet unbound. The next morning he is shown dropping all those
wine bottles into some municipal recycling sidewalk vat.
Dramatically, it fails  -  yes  -  but makes some sense as
a lesson for those who've chosen to watch. No reason exists.
-
Sermons and sermonettes, the dogged motions of all our own
lives. Words spoken from a script, words spoken out of turn
things coming back to haunt, the simple wounds of love.
In this part, the anvil goes soft.
