I can't seem to be able to find my copy of Different Seasons. Can anyone tell me the correct spelling of the town they end up in? Maybe you could e-mail me at vjohnson18@cinci.rr.com with Stephen King in the subject line. Thanks Victor. Also,how can anyone say this was a bad movie? You don't get nominated for Academy awards on the strength of bad acting. The movie is set of course in the forties to start.In that time period most everyone's mannerisms with each other are very formal and polite. I believe the movie hit that right on the spot. That's why I don't understand how someone thinks there is so much overacting. If you want to see overacting watch just about everything that David Caruso has ever been in most notably Csi Miami.He's the only negative thing in that trilogy. Overacting in Shawshank,I can't imagine where this guy's head was at or what he was expecting to get from this movie. He probably thinks the Count of Monte Cristo was a flop too, where like Shawshank the best parts of the movie were the deep conversations, and interactions to each other based on the complete range of human emotions. The intense circumstances of the various subplots of both movies can't help but bring about the most powerful depiction of emotions that the human heart can muster. When a movie shows this and can also make you feel what the characters feel that's a good movie. When a movie covers all the emotions,character buildups and a plot that keeps you riveted in your seat and You wouldn't know it if the theater was on fire, that's not just a good movie it's great. Sorry but if you can't get that maybe you ought to stay with something easier like cartoons.
