“About Schmidt”

“The final scene sees a depressed Schmidt at his lowest ebb after failing to convince his daughter not to marry inoffensive “nincompoop” Randall, alone and at breaking point he finally finds solace and purpose to his existence when he receives a note from his Oxfam adopted son in Tanzania who thanks him for his kind letters. Delighted, Schmidt weeps with joy upon the realization he’s done some good in the world, leaving it a better place than he found it.”
