Like many of you (us), I saw this movie only once. This is a movie one only has to see once, so potent and impressive is it's memory. My heart comes alive as I write this, over forty years later. Being somewhat of an "outsider" or, as David Bowie put it "other-worldly person", I finally made friends with myself after watching the Snow Goose. This movie showed me that often, nobility and popularity are disparate, and that sometimes, one must choose one or the other. It showed me that a good heart is not always rewarded, but that we must continue to believe in ourselves. It showed me that if we do, after long while, there is some reciprocation. This movie is about thinking for ourselves: Developing our own code of ethics, regardless of how it is interpreted by some others. I have recalled the image of Rhyader often, whilst enduring isolation and misunderstanding by others, and have taken great solace in his patience and faith.
