From "Local Hero"

Speaking of heroes, this from the film "Local Hero". I live about an hour and a half from Pennan which is where much of "Local Hero" was filmed. It has always been one of my favorite films because of the humour and understated sadness. And who couldn't like Mark Knopfler's haunting score...?

I've always thought that, ultimately, there was only one story worth telling, that of Redemption. In the end,  things work out, to a greater or lesser extent for everyone apart from Mac, but Mac is the one who is redeemed. He still has to leave, though. I want him to be the one ringing in the final scene - telling them that he has packed in the job and will be back - but maybe it doesn't work like that and we work out our redeemed state in the world from which we've been bought back.
