Movies

I'm not sure if I just saw the same movie as some of the other reviewers on here. I would include this film as one of the best of 2004 (so far) along with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Garden State, Spartan, and Kill Bill Vol 2. Colin Farrell's character, Bobby Morrow is one of the most fascinating people I've seen in the movies for some time. I hope his performance (and this film) are given the recognition they deserve. The rest of the performances are excellent as well. The screenplay and the direction are also very good, too. The story isn't something that we haven't seen on film before, but the characters and the way the film unfolds isn't your standard fare. Don't listen to the detractors, see this film.

Director Michael Mayer and screen writer Michael Cunningham combined their formidable talents to create an emotional masterpiece which is seldom found in the world of film. This is the tearful story of Young Bobby Morrow (supurbly played by Andrew Chalmer) who is untimely separated from his older brother, but discovers that he is gifted with supreme insight. With it, he establishes a loving and emotional foundation with both his lifetime,companion (Harris Allan) and their triadic lover Sissy Spacek. From his early boyhood days when Love could be found in a kiss or shared at arm length, to the countryside estate which allows him to fulfill his fanciful dreams, the touching story is supremely crafted to illicit the most heart wrenching emotions and delightfully delivers hope and love as a divided. If the viewer possesses a heart, this film will touch it.

I think the movie is excellent. And adaptation of the novel is great.These days, though, it is not easy to avoid comparing "Home at the End of the World" and "Brokeback Mountain".It's not about sexuality I am talking about. And not about friendship exceeding usual limits. The most intriguing: what makes these two movies, close to each other emotionally, - really different.And there is a major difference. The difference. Three main characters of the "Home" are acting at their own will. External social interference is minimal - or even supportive.In the "Brokeback Mountain" everything is much more real. That's where all thoughts and deeds are stipulated and determined by social environment.We should be happy that two great movies are available to us. Eventually they both about love, care, responsibility, gratitude. It's all about one thing so much needed to all of us: warmth of the human touch.
