In the film version of my life, based on my found journals,
you cast Geena Davis as Cathy Allman. Really?
When I was writing myself,
I always saw Michelle Pfeiffer playing the part.
I get why you gave Clint Eastwood the story to direct,
a Bridges of Madison County thing, right?
I love the way Clint plays the songs I wrote
on the piano throughout the film.
I just never saw myself as that lonely, defiant,
or trapped to the point that
any choice I could make
would only be the best choice
of a no-win decision.
Living the story,
I was under the impression I won.
Tom Hanks is an inspired choice for Daddy.
You captured the truth of how hard
Daddy and I worked to hang onto love.
Which one of you was the genius who
realized all those years of my being invisible
could (with the aid of special effects)
prove invisibility is a superpower?
Four stars.
