Nice farewell to the President
ByHave you seen the finale episode of West Wing? This is quite heart-touching episode. This is all about the final farewell to the ex-president now, Abigail Bartlet. After a long struggle he got the chair of President. Then until one year he was still struggling to deliver a notable performance to show the people that they have chosen the right person as their President. After many controversies and getting stuck into blame game and scandals, finally he leaves the chair. And all his staff is looking for other jobs after getting out of rule. He himself is confused about the situation. Obviously it is pretty difficult to leave the White House when you have spent royal time over there for a long.
You know I liked the two scenes the most from this episode. One when Leo McGarry’s daughter Mallory gifts Bartlet a cocktail napkin on which it is written ‘Bartlet for America’. Actually Garry given this napkin to Bartlet convincing him to fight for presidency of America, in the third season and the president got it framed and gifted it back to Garry as Christmas present. Bartlet recalls those moments in flash back in the finale episode.
The second scene I liked was when the president has got his farewell and he is looking at the same note thinking of the past eight years, then First Lady asks him what are you looking at? And Bartlet replies “Tomorrow”. This is pretty grasping scene and the viewer too dives into deep sea of thoughts and starts thinking about the previous episodes. Excellent filming and very well written ending of the show through this wonderful finale episode, I must say.
I didn’t watch this episode when it was aired. I missed it for some reasons and today I caught that here. In fact I am watching this show since many days over here. Usually I download two or three episodes so now gradually I reached the finale episode. Finale impressed me to that extent that I have watched it twice. Now I am thinking of watching this series once again.
