* Thomas receiving forgiveness towards his family for his actions, regardless of [[AmbiguousSituation the intentions Ellie may or may not have had when exposing him]].
* Charlie walking towards Ellie when the latter reads her ''Literature/MobyDick'' essay to him, to which Ellie finally seems to reconcile with Charlie. And right before he passes, Charlie happily reminisces about his time at the beach with her as a child.
* When one thinks of it, the movie's BittersweetEnding is surprisingly far more on the "sweet" end. Thomas has reconciled with his family and has earned their forgiveness. Ellie has a more clear understanding of who her father is and his struggles, but also how gifted he is at writing and his passion. And while it's not made explicitly clear Charlie dies or not... even if he does die, he proved himself to his daughter, succeeded in his goal of reconciling with her, and above all else, is finally TogetherInDeath with his boyfriend Alan. Additionally, he clearly didn't go to his grave with resentment, his outlook towards people being positive to the end.
