What movie is this?

Prospero said...: Giant; 12:34 PM
Jason Adams said...: With all the Dean today that's a good guess, but nope, it's not Giant; 12:36 PM
shawnp said...: Mermaids?; 12:58 PM
Jason Adams said...: Nope not Mermaids

(Oh I wanna watch Mermaids now!); 1:01 PM
Ian W. Hill said...: Aha, it's The Straight Story!; 1:15 PM
Joe Reid said...: Huh. That first frame screamed "Never Let Me Go" to me.; 1:29 PM
Jason Adams said...: Ian you are correct, it's The Straight Story, good work!

I don't know how I'd never seen it, but I only saw TSS for the first time this weekend, and it blew me away. I LOVED it. LOVED. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did - I mean I'm a big Lynch fan of course but this one seemed so different I wasn't expecting to love it like I did. It's amazing.; 1:30 PM
James T said...: Perhaps exactly because it's so much different than his other movies, it's my favorite one. I admire his originality but I connected to this movies more than the weird ones.

Though "And I fucking LOVE deers" (or whatever it was) seemed like a small reminder of Lynch's "real" identity.; 1:45 PM
