I was lucky enough to have free tickets for the preview screening. To
be honest, if it wasn't for free, this movie would not have been a
movie that I would choose to pay to watch. I am 24 and I don't think I
would be interested in watching a movie starring with some oldies but I
was totally wrong and I am so glad that I had gone to watch this movie.
AND I WILL PAY TO WATCH THIS AGAIN!
This movie has a very simple storyline, but this story relates to all
of us somehow. Many of us have had loved one(s) passed away and surely
the hardship and grievance that Arthur has been through is not new to
us. And the troubled relationship between the father and son.
It is this simple story with just good acting. It will make you cry!
Not because of sadness but because of love. I don't see many people
without a tissue wiping their eyes and noses during the movie. And this
is what good movie does to you!
