Once and Begin Again director John Carney has made a short career out of the redemptive power of song, and in Sing Street — which heavily mines his own youth — he's back on the theme, with a story about an uncertain kid forming a band to get a girl, and finding an identity for himself in the process.

It's not clinical, exactly, but I feel more moved by the precision and effort put into the performance—Bey's tight vocal pitching, Jay side-stepping this way and that, the dancers contorting themselves like gummy worms, a pared-down reworking of the Beychella brass marching band—than by The Redemptive Love Story being sold by the tour.

" NOOOO, they're following that amazing social justice tirade by a black preacher with a gospel choir doing Ben E King's Stand By Me. This is the best — Lauren Dobson-Hughes (@ldobsonhughes) May 19, 2018 He honored Markle's American heritage and quoted Martin Luther King Jr., saying, "We must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love.

Maybe the saddest moment in all of this is when Jaime, the poster child for the redemptive character arc, the man who has earned better and earned better and earned it again, is offered happiness and hope and throws it all away because the plot demands that he has to be in King's Landing for the next couple episodes.

" Innovative Concept Academy, launched in 2009 as a model partnership between the juvenile courts and the St. Louis Public Schools, was at the time the first of its kind in the U.S. While Daje's experience in the documentary "is by no mean atypical," Edwards says, "it beautifully reflects the redemptive power that supportive structured schooling offers our most endangered children.

In "Chasing the Last Laugh: Mark Twain's Raucous and Redemptive Round-the-World Comedy Tour" (Doubleday, $30), Richard Zacks, the author of "Island of Vice" (on Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt's campaign to decontaminate New York), takes readers on a rollicking excursion that includes Elmira, N.Y., and Hartford, where Twain was most prolific, and Manhattan, where he returned home to a hero's welcome.

But what is certain about Three Billboards is that if this many people saw Dixon's arc as redemptive — and if we take the most charitable view, that it wasn't intended to trivialize the experiences of abused and tortured black characters in order to humanize a white character — then the problem is in the film itself, which allowed room for a reading that was counter to its intentions.

"Circe" is very pleasurable to read, combining lively versions of familiar tales (like the birth of the Minotaur or the arrival of Odysseus and his men on Circe's island) and snippets of other, related standards (a glance at Daedalus and Icarus; a nod to the ultimate fate of Medea after she and Jason leave Aiaia) with a highly psychologized, redemptive and ultimately exculpatory account of the protagonist herself.

Other readers continue to cherish the redemptive elements in "Mockingbird" and regard the differences between the books as a fascinating case study in the mysteries of rewriting and an author finding her groove (with a big assist from an editor): how a lumpy fable about a young woman's grief over her discovery of her father's bigoted views evolved into a classic coming-of-age story and the tale of a fight for justice.

Its maker experienced many hardships and challenges in his lifetime, from poverty to the ugly, institutionalized racism of his native region, but instead of taking a bitter, cynical turn, Dial's art was shaped in large part by his abiding faith in the redemptive power of aspiration — of keeping hope alive — and of looking for the unsinkable good in even the darkest episodes of history or the most discouraging expressions of the human spirit.

AND SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES, BUT NO, LOOK, THE P OINT I MAKE IN THE BOOK AND I MAKE THIS AT THE END OF THE BOOK WHEN I TALK ABOUT SPEAKING WITH DICK ONLY ABOUT A YEAR AGO, DICK FULD, IS YOU KNOW ALL THESE THINGS NOW, THESE ARE NOT IMPORTANT THINGS IN MY LIFE ANYMORE, SO ANY KIND OF REDEMPTIVE DISCUSSION WITH DAVID EINHORN, AS INTERESTING AS IT MAY SEEM, IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S ON MY BRAIN AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME THESE DAYS.

I wasn't good at it because I was writing the ... In the '28s I was taught to write these trite ... I mean, I think Con Air is a great movie, but I was taught to do this thing where there's a brooding hero and he has six problems and he has to get them solved and page 210, he would meet his girlfriend and she would be redemptive and if he wasn't likable enough, you could give him clubfoot and if you wanted people to hate him, he would kick a dog.
