Richard Gere's character, Leonard Fife, serves as a reflection on the complexities of truth amidst personal guilt, framed within the context of a cinematic prayer.
Director Paul Schrader's approach imparts a sense of earnestness and impartiality, making 'Oh, Canada' resonate deeply with the themes of mythologizing personal narratives.
Fife's decision to allow former students to film him underscores a desire for honesty and forgiveness, exploring the intersections of memory, regret, and the legacy of one's actions.
By reconnecting with the novel's original title and themes, Schrader deepens the exploration of his protagonist's anti-war stance and justice-oriented focus in a compelling narrative.
