The opening scene of Dan in Real Life is classic for anyone who has lost a spouse...Dan rolls over in bed to put his arm around his wife but realizes she is not there. Then you get a shot of his bed. His side, slept in...her side is COVERED in papers, books, so that it is anything but empty...because that would just be too much. Then Dan sits up in bed, puts his feet on the floor, takes a deep breath and surrenders. "Okay" he breathes out...then its up to start a new day. It was soooo touching...and so real...and so a scene from my life!
