Carol’s Letter

The 2015 film entitled Carol has a cult following. One of its sharpest fan hooks is “Carol’s letter” or simply, “the letter;” it is a voice-over by Cate Blanchett that begins the film's ending. The attached image is the letter as it appears in screenwriter Phyllis Nagy’s script. The superfluous “like the morning sky” (highlighted by me) was dropped or cut at filming. Other than that, this text is what Blanchett read, verbatim.

With a manuscript at 58, I decided life was too short for traditional publishing. I had stories to share. I self-published four books. https://dannycreasy.net
