Frequency- Yay!!! I'm so happy you really enjoyed this movie so, so much, my dear friends! And I'm happy that you saw the beauty of the relationship between father and son. This movie is absolutely sensational! Frequency is one of my all time favorite movies, so thank you very much for watching and reacting to it for me! Frequency not only has a phenomenal and emotional storyline from start to finish between the father and son while their lives are shown in two different time periods as they fight to save their family, but this movie also has so much heart. The relationship between father and son is beautiful and heartbreaking, as we see their struggles to not only survive the threat risen against their family, but also their struggle to right their wrongs that came from the consequences of them changing the past. And there is definitely a price that they both pay in order to survive and fight to come together again in the present time. I love seeing the concepts of John's memory changes and how he remembers both lives as though he wakes up from a dream to a life he can't tell whether or not they're real. I can only imagine how much pain these memory changes cause him. Both physically and mentally. I just love the effects of his memory changes as well. Also... I love the struggles that Johnny went through upon having to grow up without his father, who he was very, very close to when he was a boy. And we can see just how affected he is in the present by these struggles and the trauma of having to learn about his father having been killed in a fire all those years ago. We can see just how sad and depressed John has become over the years since his father's death, in spite of his father having died thirty years earlier. However, in the very end, when John, Frank, and Julia are all playing baseball with their friends after everything been righted and everyone is safe again... you can really see the changes in John. He's no longer depressed and sad. He's smiling and so, so happy. And it's beautiful to see. His life changed for the better and he's so happy just to have both his father and mother back. I absolutely love this movie's major story, as well as its characters. Jim Caviezel plays John Sullivan in the present day story arc, and I absolutely love his performance. The emotion he shows in his character... he makes me cry in this movie. Not only is he phenomenal at showing just how desperate he is to save his father and mother, as well as the innocent women who died as a result of their actions in changing the past, but his emotion comes across every time he speaks with his father through the radio. Especially in the moment John is talking with his father after Frank survives the warehouse fire because his son saved his life. I love seeing the tears in John's eyes at the end of this scene, and hearing the breaking in his voice as he tells his father he loves him too once Frank tells him he loves him as well. Words that John hasn't heard for thirty years. It's so heartwarming. As is the ending when John and Frank hug at last upon coming together again after Frank saves his son's life, thanks to Frank finally throwing away the cigarettes to indicate he's finally ready to give up smoking, and that he succeeds in doing so. So beautiful! Now, whether or not someone would quit smoking if they knew for certain they would die from lung cancer in the future... I would like to believe that I would immediately quit smoking if I definitively knew this about my future. Which Frank most certainly comes to know very quickly. I would like to believe that anyone would quit. However, it appears that it's really easier said than done... at least for Frank (Dennis Quaid) and even John (Jim Caviezel) too. After John tells his father about him dying from cancer, we see Frank continuing to smoke a few times even afterwards, until he finally throws the cigarettes away towards the end. And while John doesn't know his own future in regards to his health, he is also still seen smoking even after learning about his father's death from smoking. I would like to believe that John would have quit smoking too, knowing he too could die from cancer and yet he doesn't. At least not as far as we see within the movie. I know smoking is a dangerous and addicting habit, and one that is not so easily overcome. This is why I have never, would never, and will never try to smoke at all. But with all of this being said... Jim Caviezel is one of my absolute favorite actors, and has been ever since I first saw this movie many years ago, and then several movies with him since such as The Count of Monte Cristo and Angel Eyes. And he's also the star in one of my all time favorite TV shows... Person of Interest too. If you would love to see more with him, then I highly recommend any of his movies and Person of Interest as well if you're ever wanting to get into watching a new show too. I just absolutely love the strength, heart, and emotion Jim Caviezel brings to each of his characters. And he brings this kind of quality and strength into every character he plays. Just like his role as Edmond Dantes in The Count of Monte Cristo as well. I just absolutely love him. :) Dennis Quaid is an amazing actor too. I love him as Frank Sullivan. I love Frank's drive to get to know his grown up son in the future, while fighting to protect his family in his own timeline as well. And all while also doing all he can to right their wrongs with his grown up son's help. In consequence of him doing so, Frank is later accused of being involved with the serial killer, or of being the killer himself, and is nearly killed a number of times. Yet Frank still fights to clear his name and brings justice for his family and the innocent women who had been killed because of their mistakes in changing their past. I can't imagine the emotional pain and fear John must have felt from not only suddenly becoming bombarded by all the new memories he receives after they continue to change the past and having to live with new sets of memories in his mind, but also the pain that comes from having to wait by helplessly after he overhears his father fighting with Satch and his partner, then having to read that his father's been accused of being their killer. And Jim Caviezel truly brings out how John is feeling in every scene. It's heartbreaking. As for the overall storyline with John and Frank trying to take down the Nightingale Murderer... I love the combination of this story along with all of the family storyline. And I love, love, love the addition of the time elements crossing over and being altered as we see father and son fight to change their future to save their family. The dynamic between Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel is phenomenal, and their father/son relationship between their characters is just beautiful. I am always in suspense throughout this whole movie, and the ending always makes me cry because I am just so excited and so happy it ends with Frank surviving, and killing... or at least hindering the serial killer cop in order to save his son in both timelines. And Frank calling his adult son Chief and saying he is still there as they hug... beautiful!!! Oh, and in regards to the ending... The little boy shown when John lifts him up and holds him with his father when they're all playing baseball together, is indeed John's son like you believed him to be, and his former girlfriend, Sarah... is there in the end of the movie as well. She is seen standing with Julia, John's mother as she takes a picture of John and Frank holding their son. And she also appears to be pregnant with their second child in this scene as well. We can only assume that by all of the events being changed upon John and Frank succeeding in saving their family, John grows up happily and without the emotional struggles we see him suffering from throughout this movie in consequence of both of his parents' deaths. And therefore, the ending shows us that he has most likely married Sarah and that they've had one child, with another child on the way. And I absolutely love seeing that while, yes... there are definitely consequences from John and Frank messing with the timelines and making all these changes, they also are able to find the happiness they deserve and are finally able to be together in the end. Just like John has desperately longed for his whole life. Julia Sullivan, young John, Gordo, young Gordo, Satch, and even the Nightingale Murderer... Jack Shepherd, are all also great characters too. I really enjoy seeing the changes in their characters and in their lives that they're completely unaware of, every time John and Frank change something. Jack Shepherd, while he's a scumbag murderer, he is really a great antagonist for this movie too. Julia Sullivan is played by actress, Elizabeth Mitchell, who is a very talented actress that I love in a number of shows and movies I've seen with her in them as well. I know her mostly from season four of Once Upon a Time, as well as from the second and third Santa Clause movies with Tim Allen, and a number of other shows and movies. And while I have never seen it, I know she is famous for her role in the TV series... Lost. Next... I also really love the subtle moment near the ending, when Julia comes over to Frank to give him his pack of cigarettes when Frank sits down to fix the radio, then seeing her briefly reach out gently to touch the microphone. This moment shows us that Frank has told Julia the truth about everything, and that when she reaches out to tenderly touch the microphone, she is so grateful to her son in the future for saving her husband and is so proud of him for fighting so hard to save not only their family, but the lives of the women too. I really appreciate this moment. And just as you somewhat recognized... the killer was able to kill ten women when the first changes occurred instead of just three like he originally did because Julia (John's Mom and Frank's wife) saved Jack Shepherd's life in the hospital the night Frank went to visit her there after he survives the warehouse fire, when she wouldn't have been there to save the killer's life originally if Frank had died. Many people miss this, or don't understand the significance of this hospital scene. But so good. And in consequence of the changes John and Frank make to everyone's lives, Jack also despicably kills his own mother who was also a nurse like Julia, after the original three women he had been killed, but changed his MO just when he killed his mother so that no one would look at him for her murder. Especially his own mother's murder. John had spoken to both of Jack's parents earlier on in the beginning upon finding the bones nearby, before Frank's survival from the warehouse fire changed everything. This is how John knew where to come back to in order to try to find Jack and why he recognized Jack's picture when he got the information about the killer from his prints John took from the wallet, and why he came back to talk to them again only to discover the mother was now dead. Sadly, by them changing their own lives, it caused the killer's mother to lose her life too. I can only hope that by Frank and John fighting to stop the serial killer, all of the rest of the nine women previously to have been killed, including Jack's mother... were all saved. Sadly... John and Frank will have to live with the consequence of being unable to save the murder victim, Sissy Clark, who Frank had been accused of killing. As for why Frank wouldn't be arrested for the victims' murders... it's because his fingerprints would only be found on the outside of the box, while the killer's prints would be found on the box, as well as on all of the pieces of jewelry and on the plastic the victims' jewelry is found wrapped in. Plus... the jewelry is found inside the killer's home. Satch trusts and knows his closest friend. They've been friends for many, many years. It makes sense that Frank wouldn't be accused and convicted of murder. The music throughout this movie is really good too, as well as very fitting not only for the time periods, but for the overall storylines throughout the movie. And I especially love the song played in the credits sung by Garth Brooks called, When You Come Back to Me Again. I don't know Garth Brooks' music all that well, but this is definitely one of his songs that I really do love. Also.. I love the scene when John has a moment to talk with his mother in the past, as well as himself and his long time best friend from childhood. I love seeing and hearing Julia assure John that her mother is surely proud of him and that she knows he loves her, then the moment when John pretends to be Santa Claus for his friend, Gordo so he can give him the best advice he could ever give him. In the beginning of this movie, Gordo states he regrets not buying stock in Yahoo, as in Yahoo.com. And because John remembered this, he tells young Gordo that yahoo is a magic word he needs to remember for a long time. And in so doing, we see in the end that Gordo's past has been altered upon seeing in the future that he now owns a fancy car with a license plate that says Yahoo, indicating he had actually bought the shares in the company that he didn't initially do, making him fairly wealthy. Brilliant!! I just love seeing the changes made in John's future timeline and how they are shown to us. From seeing the changes through the new memories John suddenly becomes bombarded by inside the bar while out with his friends upon Frank listening to his son's pleas to go the opposite way in spite of his instincts telling him to go the other way, to seeing Jack's life and the house John has lived in his whole life suddenly change so drastically upon Frank and Julia, as well as little John all surviving their first attack by Jack Shepherd in their home, bring Frank to come home in the end so he can save his adult son's life from the same killer one final time, as he finally kills the monster who has terrorized their family for so, so long. The changes and special effects for each of these changes are marvelous! And I absolutely love this movie's creators' and writers' attention to the details. Thank you very much again, Joy and Marian! I really love this movie so, so much, and I truly enjoyed both of your reactions for it. Be happy and stay healthy and safe. :) Sincerely, Heidi
