In Reply to: Thought "The Straight Story" was Disney at their best (nt) posted by grinagog on May 27, 2004 at 17:00:58:
Do you think it was such a good movie? I saw it, found it ok, but never had the wish to look at it again.....
Follow Ups:
for the theme of reconciliation and its low key approach. I like David Lynch and thought it his most accessible film yet. Harry Dean Stanton and Sissy Spacek are 2 of my all-time favorite USA actors and didn't disappoint me (they never have)
Very human theme without the outright Lynch weirdness or the standard knee deep Disney treacle; I thought the film worked very well given such an unlikely pairing
Not the depth and breadth of a Bunuel film; but not typical Hollywood formula garbage either
Alvin Straight is really facing the highway and his own demons and that is story enough; he's really a bit of a hero
Grins
To that I can nod yes. Or put it inn another way, with all the garbage and pollution we have we can be glad to have a film like this....
