Laura Stiles- Cold Fever

The movie cold fever showed me the importance of ritual. The main character had no interest in going to Iceland but went anyway because if he didn't he felt like he was letting his grandfather down. He was to go there to properly bury and say goodbye to his parents. He learned from several helpers on his journey how important it really was to perform rituals for his parents. I can't imagine the burden of providing a proper goodbye for my own parents, hut he definitely did his justice. I realized through this movie that there really is no proper ritual, but rather a ritual is soemthing thatgives the ritual giver the closure they need and feel necesary.
