I always believed it was the things you don’t choose that makes you who you are. Your city, your neighborhood, your family. People here take pride in these things, like it was something they’d accomplished. The bodies around their souls, the cities wrapped around those.
I wanted to quote this from Gone Baby Gone, when I read this post from Krish. BTW, GBG was a well written directorial debut from Ben Affleck. Yes, Ben Affleck as in Bennifer(Ben+Jennifer Lopez).

Much credit should go to Dennis Lehane. I’ve not watched the film yet to see how faithful it is to the book, but considering how good the other novels in the Kenzie/Gennaro series are, Ben would have had at least a good source to work on. Look out for Lehane’s Shutter Island which is being adapted for the screen by none other than Scorsese. The book was brilliant, the movie is going to top it 🙂
