Always (1989)
Always (1989), an American romantic fantasy film directed and produced by Steven Spielberg, is a remake of the 1943 romantic drama A Guy Named Joe. Set during World War II, it follows Pete Sandich, an aerial firefighter whose girlfriend Dorinda Durston doubles as an air traffic controller for the firefighters. Pete’s risky behavior in the air troubles both Dorinda and his best friend Al Yackey, who is also a firefighter pilot. After another dangerous flight that Pete brushes off as usual, Al suggests he take a safer job training firefighting pilots in Flat Rock, Colorado. Despite his initial refusal, Dorinda tearfully confronts him about her constant fear of losing him. Eventually, Pete agrees to take the training job.
Despite Dorinda’s foreboding, Pete embarks on his final mission. As they carry out the firebombing run, Al’s engine catches fire and is on the verge of exploding. In a daring move, Pete takes a sharp dive and expertly extinguishes the flames with fire-retardant slurry, rescuing Al. Though he struggles to regain control from the dive, Pete finds himself flying directly through the raging forest fire, setting his own engine ablaze and causing his aircraft to detonate. Afterwards, Pete walks through a desolate forest until he reaches Hap in a small clearing. Hap reveals that Pete has passed away in the explosion but now has a new role: to serve as Spiritus (‘the divine breath’) and guide others through their thoughts, just as spirits did for him in life.
