The ending also could have mean't that once she had healed the child, she would contract the illness and die, we don't really know what happened after that. I believe we all have the ability to perform miracles if we accept gods love and trust, there's a certain engery transference that takes place, It's rare to many, but some are able to do it. God bless those who walk amoung us and heal.
This is a really good movie. I recently found a VHS copy of it at an area library. It's better than I remembered it, although I thought the very end could have been done a little better. Underrated and forgotten, but SEE IT IF YOU CAN!!!
ending could have been better? Are you kidding? That was the whole point of the story. Her ability to finally harness these wonderful healing powers without making them conspicuous. Didn't it touch you even a little bit when she puts her arms around the sick little boy knowing that very soon he would be healed?
Yeah, it was touching, but It just seemed to me that she was out in the middle of nowhere transformed into a backwoods hillbilly. How often was she going to be able to use her healing powers out there?
However, I like how it was a "quiet" ending. If she ended up in the big city it might have seemed out of place.
You know what's interesting though? Even though it seems obvious that she got her healing powers from the accident, I noticed
perhaps it wasn't that he had the healing power, but more so that he had the ability to show her the positive part of life, no matter what her disability was. Remember, she encountered him right after her accident.
Hi. Just wanted to share with you that when I was seeing a performance at the Met, at intermission I saw Ellen Burstyn standing alone in the lobby and went over to talk to her. She was just wonderful and when I mentioned how much I loved this movie, I'll never forget that she said... "well people who have liked Resurrection, are very special people" .. She is so special as well.
You should read her autobiography - she is the whole reason the film was made, her idea and the writer used things from her life. Her birth name is Edna Rae and Cal is based on her exhusband who stalked her for years before killing himself. She's amazing.
A very heartwarming story enhanced by Maurice Jarre's masterpiece score ---- why wasn't this core ever recorded and made into a CD?.
The wonderful ending also shows how Burstyn's character was able to deal with her God-given healing power. Nice touch too bringing her back to Esco's filling station.

Excellent movie. Underrated. Great music by the late Maurice Jarre.

Maybe he just saw that she had gone through something horrible and wanted to let her know it would all be alright

Part 2 -- something seemed to be transferred to her from Richard Farnsworth, the original owner of the garage. It was like he had a healing power too.
OR, it was like a moment of fate where he knew Burstyn would end up being his replacement.

Right, and maybe that's why she wanted to return there.

Thanks so much for sharing that bit of info on her. I knew from the few minutes I spoke to her that she is a warm and giving person.

I saw her on stage in London a few week - She was beyond words

I remember this being a really good movie. I can't find it now.
Such movies are pushed off the shelves because space is needed for twenty copies of the latest cookie-cutter blockbuster. Sad.
