Yeah it does, somehow it does. You know these stories or resonating you know they seem to resonate now uh m a little bite more than they used to and I you know at the same time I feel there’s a lot of true life stories that are told that are kind of like being told just because they’re true life and I I genuinely felt like this uh you know this this story had bigger themes in it then then then then its true life element you know, it really uh it isn’t about a guy who invents the intervention windshield wiper, its about a guy who wont, who is built on principle and he’s not the most perfect uh he’s a very imperfect human being and to do what he did at the time that he did it, it was nostalgic. I mean I cant even invasion a man, one person taking on google today and us all not talking about it pretty headily I mean the battle that he has, that he took on, was remarkable.

Yeah and I’m not sure you know I found myself, he’s stubborn, he’s uncompromising, a lot of qualities when I read it I was like I don’t know if I like this guy so much and yet I did ultimately find myself wanting him to find some satisfaction and that was watching him kind of you know marginalize his family a little bit which is just you know kind of unthinkable to me. But you know the way that you know an alcoholic you know the way you would tell an alcoholic to get over alcoholism say ‘well what you really need to do is just stop drinking and everything will be fine’ and I think there were people all around him including the Ford Motor Company saying hey if you just let it go, if you just take the money this can be behind you. And I don’t think he had the mechanism in his to be able to uh accept that and that part of the story is remarkable.
