Revisited WB's movie, Message in a Bottle last night. The female lead- journalist was aptly portrayed by Robin Wright Penn, who now plays the first lady in tv's House of Cards. Back to the Message, she receives three messages not from the Blessed Virgin, but from a couple who expressed their bottled up emotions and literally "inilista sa tubig." Good for cinematic effect; bad for open communication, even leading to death.
Instead of patching up with the journalist directly, the male lead takes a 4th letter to ask permission from his departed wife, aboard his boat on a stormy day. Fatal idea
While disputants are still alive and maybe kicking each other, perhaps they can "stop and talk for awhile" to each other over mediation.
