Unforgettable
When a freak aurora borealis causes interferences in the airwaves, a father and son separated by the father's death are reunited via a shortwave radio.That's a simple summary of what's a very complex and heartrending story. Sully (James Caviezel) is living in present day NYC in the house he grew up in. He comes across an old shortwave and hooks it up and manages to contact his Dad back in the past. He's a burned out cop whose relationship is going awry.Frank (Dennis Quaid) is a loving firefighter Dad who gets an eerie message from his son in the future. "If you'd just gone the other way...instead of following your instincts..."Together, these two guys work to change history....I first saw "Frequency" in the theatre and had to buy the VHS, then upgrade to the DVD. This is one of my all-time favorite films. I have to watch every couple of years, cry, then put the film aside. This is not just a sci-fi story, but a compelling family story that depicts a love that transcends time and space.Rebecca Kyle, June 2009
