Highly Overrated But Still Good
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
From the first scene itself, the film feels like its trying too hard to be something. It's trying to be inspirational, meaningful and deep but ends up lacking everything. The dialogues are horrible although you feel the heart put behind it that you can't hate it. It's so shallow in reiterating the same structure of sequences again and again albeit with a sweetness.
Well, what can i say? This was probably one of the best movies i have watched in the past six months and maybe even more. This is the story of a father whose son died and when he goes to take the body back home, he realizes that he wants and feels the need to complete the journey that his son started.The way the movie is developed is one where you feel like you are in the journey with Tom and the other people, so that you can understand what the characters are feeling and so that you can learn and grow with them. In fact the characters go through a lot of situations that make them change and understand each other better and better while they are in their journey, said so you can understand that there is a great character development going on in the movie.The cinematography, the quotes, the music and the plot seem to be really well thought because as i said before they let you feel like you are in the movie, and if you pay enough attention you will lean a lot as well.This, besides being a great movie, is also a really deep one. You can see that although a father might be cold or mean sometimes, he still loves you and he will do anything for you. If you let it, this movie can really help you understand more about life, in fact if you can watch it with an open heart, you might understand your self a little more and learn that it's never too late to try new things.I would totally recommend this movie to someone who wants to be entertained, see a great character development and at the same time is looking for something deep and a little emotional.
9.2/10I feel like this movie was the best movie in those movies that I watched these days. I watched it in Film class for mid-final but I really think that it was better than the movies that I've chose to watch myself. This movie was very touching and very well plotted. I gave 9.2 because I think that this movie was well made.The story was really alike my relationship with my dad. My dad always told me that what I wanted to do was stupid. He wanted me to go do what he wanted me to do. He didn't really care about what I wanted to do. However in the movie, even though Tom didn't care about Daniel's dream, he decides to finish Daniel's dream. I guess the story was more touching because I could agree with the situation Daniel was at.The acting was very nice. The facial expressions of the actors were believable and it showed me what the actor was feeling. I think as a actor view, this movie has great actors. In story view, I feel like the story is amazing. It has really sad story but the ending was so nice. It was easy to agree and feel what the actors were feeling. Because of my problem with my dad, the connection made me concentrate on the movie really well.I have no doubt that this is one of my best movies that I love. Mostly because while I was watching, I wished my dad was like the dad in the movie. This touched my heart so much that I thought, even dad won't like it, do what you like. Nothing is impossible, I feel like this was the lesson this movie gave me. I really loved this movie and if I can, I would love to watch it with my dad.
This is the sort of a movie that we really need to see more of. Base on what is really important in life and is what easily attainable anywhere.All you need is effort to do it. How great would it be to share a journey with your dad or family member to experience life in away that we seem to have lost. We are all so caught up in the mundane things of every day life that true life experiences are lost. Funny how it takes a movie like this to bring that longing back.Well done and thank you for that great movie. I will planing my own journey now
