This has been my favourite movie for quite a while. It took me a couple of viewings to figure out what was going on. Ross and Kendal weren't so great for me at first but I came to like them both. That's the nature of Ross I guess, you think he's quite foolish and so on but then you start to recognise that he's you(this may only be the situation for me ;o).
Uncle Cullen was by far the best out of the lot of them, what with his scarf and basic pair of comfortable shoes. His lines were outstanding, every word and source of inspiration.
I first saw the movie just after I started a Theology and Philosophy course so perhaps I made some connections that others might not have. The Theological ideas behind the relationship between 'Uncle' Cullen and Ross are what made this movie for me. I just love watching it. It makes me feel nice, and I guess that's what I want out of a movie.
I have shown this film to some of my family and some friends and I'm not sure that they got the same out of it as me(maybe because they hadn't been smoking). I did find that some scenes were quite cheesy for a movie of these days, which is why I tend to think of it as more a play than a movie. Photography in most of the movie is beautiful. Makes you want to live on Sachem Farm with no cares in the world but, when the movie's over, you've got to get back to reality.
There are things I didn't like about it. Just a few, and they're not of any importance so I don't think about them. Like I said the people who I introduced to it didn't seem to like it. So I would say to people that are thinking about buying/watching this film, you've got to be a dreamer to like this. It's a fantasy world through and through, with characters that can be real annoying at times(like everyone including yourself).
I love this movie, in every sense of the word love. It changed me in ways I never thought a movie could. My thanks to director Mr. Huddles and every actor who gave their part.
Take it easy :o)
