"The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud" Synopsis – IMDb

Charlie St. Cloud is a young man overcome by grief at the death of his younger brother. So much so that he takes a job as caretaker of the cemetery in which his brother is buried. Charlie has a special lasting bond with his brother though, as he can see him. Charlie meets up with his brother (Sam) each night to play catch and talk. Then, a girl comes into Charlie's life and he must choose between keeping a promise he made to Sam, or going after the girl he loves.

ZacFanOnWheels

The ambulance scene

heartunprepared

So powerful, every single time

ZacFanOnWheels

I adore the scene where he's laying in bed in the wifebeater

heartunprepared

The camera always lingers on him on those sexy stares into space but I don't mind - hotness overload!

ZacFanOnWheels

Exactly

heartunprepared

I wonder if over the last five years if Charlie had noticed Tess at all; or if it was only since her father's burial and then seeing her fussing/fuming about the state of the garden?

ZacFanOnWheels

I don't know...my guess is he's been too wrapped up in his own little world

heartunprepared

I love how Tess has her own personality and character, she's quirky and sassy and strong.

ZacFanOnWheels

Yeah she's great!

I love Sam...he's so snarky

heartunprepared

I suspect he takes after Charlie a bit

ZacFanOnWheels

Agreed

Ugh the bar scene..."didn't you used to be Charlie St. Cloud?"

heartunprepared

I don't blame Charlie for lashing out one little bit. That guy really, truly is a dick!

ZacFanOnWheels

He is!

I'm at the scene where he screams at the geese

heartunprepared

I'd seriously forgotten that he screamed at them so loud and when I watched it earlier that part shocked me
