"I'm finished"
These (the title of this entry) are the last words spoken in the film, 'There Will Be Blood', which seems to be my current favourite film. I don't want to give too much away for those who haven't seen this film, but I don't think I'm spoiling anything by wondering about all the possible meanings of the phrase, "I'm finished," and the observation that when I first heard this line I immediately thought of a child addressing their parent (or perhaps some figure of authority) having completed some task (or bodily function) and now seeking approval. It just struck me as odd that the line was not spoken with the degree of resignation that one would expect, given the circumstances.
