CHRISTIANNEWS.COM.- The new Netflix film, “The Starling”, released this Friday, highlights the sanctity of marriage and hope in the midst of the deepest pain of pain, as stated by production director Theodore Melfi.
In “The Starling”, the couple Lilly and Jack, starring Melissa McCarthy and Chris O’Dowd, face the loss of their baby, a victim of sudden infant death syndrome, reports the Christian Post.
One year after her daughter’s death, Lilly struggles to survive her grief by doing everything she can to distract herself through her work or gardening.
For his part, Jack, an elementary school teacher, checks into a mental health clinic, two hours from his home, to treat uncontrollable depression caused by grief.
As the two deal with their own pain, they also need to heal their marriage.
Statement by the film’s director
For the film’s director, the script shows the beauty and sanctity of marriage. Married for 25 years, Melfi said everyone understands the work that “it takes to be happily married” and “find joy in his spouse every day.”
“It doesn’t matter if it was trauma or something that makes a couple start to feel disconnected. But, in this particular situation, a couple is going through trauma. They are deeply in love and don’t know how to process it, together or individually. For me, this is an interesting story and topic,” Melfi said.
Releasing a film at a time of pandemic, director Melfi reminds us that there is hope to overcome grief and loss when we acknowledge our emotions and deal with them.
“The entire world is struggling with grief and loss on some level. I don’t know if there is a person alive now who has not experienced the death of someone he loves or knows, or the illness of someone he loves or knows,” she noted.
The director concluded by saying that: “The world has gone through collective suffering, collective mourning. There is a light on the other side of the tunnel. If you recognize the pain, if you laugh and cry, it will get better. I know from experience”.
