How heartbreaking. I can understand Archer and Ellen so well. The so-called age of innocence was suffused with manacles, hypocrisy, apathy and filthy. However, it was indeed an innocent and pure time because true love and companionship did exist.
a different Scorsese. "Dedicated to my father" at the end moves me. not necessary to be that dramatic but..hypothetically, there were plenty of sacrifices that his father made.
