Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

I watched this movie, The Long Good Friday, on New Year’s Eve. Apparently lots of people consider it one of the best gangster films ever made…? It was indeed a pretty good film. Bob Hoskins’ Cockney accent—and the whole story itself—was pretty hard to follow at times, but it’s the kind of thing that grows on you. I’m watching a “making of” documentary on YouTube right now and I now appreciate it even more.
