In one of the opening scenes of the 2020 film I'm Thinking of Ending Things (written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, based on the book of the same title by Iain Reid), two characters -- Jake (Jesse Plemons) and Young Woman (Jessie Buckley) -- discuss William Wordsworth. The Young Woman quotes "the child is father to the man," and Jake mentions "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood" and the Lucy poems.
