Pain giving Joy

God’s Own Country was really unlike anything I’ve ever seen. There were a number of powerful moments but one in particular affected me the most. The scene that stuck out to me in this movie was the one with the baby lamb and the dead lamb. The tragedy resulted in a stronger chance for life for the runt lamb. It was incredibly powerful and sent a message that rough, horrible things, could result in or contribute to long term positives. I really felt as though it was both a turning point and a reflection of the whole movie. This was followed by their first kiss which cemented a choice of love over aggression which seemed to have controlled the movie previously. The discussion after the movie was really interesting and touched on a lot of points that left me wanting to rewatch the movie and look for them.
