Can a story be more real than reality?

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2005)

This is one of those rare movies that doesn't really try to sell you anything. The moral of the story is yours to get, if any. There is no hard hitting conclusion or "Aha!" moment.
The way the story is told is rather nice, even if it annoys me with the Southern nuances of the storytellers voice. I mean, OK, the story is nice, the visuals are nice, violins in the background, slightly computer enhanced color hue, but does it have to sound like someone's grandmother from the Southern Texas is telling the story?
Conclusion: worth watching story of a relationship between father and son. I give it an 8.
