What's Your Final Takeaway From Your Story?

The story is completely comprehensible if you were just to have read it without seeing the film, because the descriptions are quite detailed. But I don't think it's the same as experiencing the film and then coming to the story. You would lose that infusion of whatever motion the movie created in you. What is your final takeaway from the story? If you have to give it some kind of meaning, it's called seeing our shoddy; they're communing with their lives through the film.
