the best scene

Spoiler alert, in case anyone reading this hasn't seen it. I'm aware it came out over 17 years ago, but still, I want to be considerate.


I guess, for me, the final scene, when it laid it all out, the day of the crash, when Max was once again "vunerable" to strawberries. When it made a metaphorical approach to Christ, and resurrection. The plane going down...and the man saying, "Follow me to the light." Max saying, "I'm alive." Meaning specifically, that his purpose was fulfilled finally, and he could return to really living again. Just as the title says, "Fearless." As he survived the crash, the close brush with death made him unafraid of anything, including his allergies, and his mortality in general. Just like when he tried to commit suicide by walking into traffic, and not one vehicle hit him. But he didn't understand at the time. As he yelled to God, "You wanna kill me, but you can't!" (As some other posters here have said, forgive me if I don't name names, I'm better at remembering what was said than names)...perhaps God, or fate, or whatever "canceled out" his allergies, in fact, his mortality, until he fulfilled his purpose of helping that grieving mother, Carla, along with his own grief.
