A Lovely Warm-Hearted Movie with an Environmental Touch
I watched this movie back in 1999, at that time I recorded it into a VHS cassette from HBO. I might have watched that movie like 3 or 4 times during that period.
I was one day at home while I listened to some laud geese flying and cackling while migrating south. In that instant I remembered about the movie and how it made me feel, I can say it ignited in me some sense of environmental justice while young, and here I am, pursuing a Masters' Degree in Environmental Sciences 20 years later. Exactly in that moment, I bought the movie in BluRay through Amazon, a few days later I was watching it again on a date with my special one.
It made me feel like the first time I saw it. Great movie, great message, great story. A little bit too American at the end but still almost perfect. I would recommend it to anyone.
The Joy of Flight
Everything about this movie is 1st-rate. The cinematography is simply stunning. The musical score is perfect for the progress of the story. The casting is spot on- Anna Paquin truly shines, and has the best support possible. And the story- oh... well, you just have to see it. There's something for everyone here, young and old- sorrow, inspiration, humor, hope, redemption, injustice, and a thrilling race against time. It's infused with characters that are real, but it's when the geese take wing that this film really soars. That the flight scenes are done almost exclusively without special effects will open your eyes, and you can get lost in the clouds! No matter your age, you should see this movie.
