check out the scene where M&D are fishing--actually it's their last time
together. the LED the next morning apparently whispers into each's ear,
that he will be with them when they meet again--something a bodhisattva
or christ-like figure will say, huh?
Also, the fishing theme at the end when Mason's kids are telling him on
his death bed--we'll go to the places you went...and we'll fish, and
you'll be there, too. ties nicely together, doesn't it? a thread of
redemption, salvation?
I think M&D are smiling down upon what has been created from their sad
lives.
P.S. Tony Blair is from County Durham--think Dixon's accent would be
similar to his?
