The silence and the regret

Rating: 6/10 (10 February 2020)

You probably already know that this film is adapted from a book. The events, some effecting twentieth century American history are all faithfully retold like you'd expect from an elderly person telling their life's stories to none other than the FBI; you have to take some of it with a pinch of salt.
Where the film director really takes over the storytelling is during the last half hour, where the main character is acutely aware he is alone and it is too late to change. The silence and the regret make viewing his existence very sad, but there is no sympathy.
Sombre and indifferent is the emotional tone by the end, probably realistic to those closely related to people who've spent a portion of their lives hurting others.
