Apple Seed

A good hearted little movie about life experience and sharing your love with those that you cross paths with. Worth your time.

Its a road movie , but actually it goes the wrong way than the usual east-west or north-south stretch, this film heads from west to east, amnd will if everything turns out right end somewhere apple seed, vermont/nova scotia somewhere the only one living is the sasquatch or a fishneckslithering girlfriend or the like.

its a young man that rolls of with his fancy automobile, but is low on the bucks. get suddenly in touch with an elderly man, that can offer him both dough and immidiate entertainment, for a hat full of money to pay for the food, the motel and the gasoline. everyone they meet on the lonesome road get kicked and verbally harrased in a way youll never seen since john candy hit the road with his wisconsin ompa-ompa brass band. will they get there youll find out if you see it.

well productionwise there are quite a few upliftersa, very nice photo-/filmography, it has the all american musical style, and the good timeline info. the actors are basicly the b-side and second hand of the farmers league, but that doesnt nescesarilly mean its bad, its just the same all over, in a slow turtle ride towards the ziel-banner.

it has heart and humour, its full of love and life , so either youre a hillbilly redneck or a white collared banker, youll like this , its all american branded from a-z (or å in my language). the grumpy old man nods to this recommend

I only do reviews of movies that move me in a profound way, which means few and far between. One of the reasons is I don't like recommending things period. Who am I to say what someone will like and how they should spend their time. This world is full of a billion different kinds of people and I barely understand myself let alone the rest of the world.

That being said, certain movies strike me in a way that I feel I should at the very least try to point out that a brilliant movie exists. Just in case. This is one such movie, one that assuredly not everyone will like, but for those who do enjoy movies like this, I pray you are as moved as I.

It's basically a slow, beautifully shot, brilliantly acted story about two men 40 years apart who bond in a most beautiful way. But it's so much more than that. In fact, it's not a great movie, but a testament to life, and all the things that we could learn if we only opened the door.

The chemistry between Howard and Worth seems like a long time friendship. I don't know if it is (or was in this case. May you find great happiness Rance) but the warmth is there. And since Michael wrote and directed, his dialogue is truly him.

I cried, I laughed and most of all was plugged in to the entire movie. If it were to ask me "ya feel me man" I would instantly say "yeah....I feel ya".

Rance Howard was the standout in this movie and I enjoyed every minute of it. I cried and laughed at the end. Highlights some of the loveliest locations in the USA. Probably older people like me will value this much more highly than younger people.

Make sure you've got 2 Hours free to watch this flick. For a road-move it has wonderful moments of poise & reflection. For those who believe that Life is like a River this movie will enchant you, thanks in great part to the magnetic personality of old-man Carl, played most sincerely by Lance Howard, offset by the zany but unsettled character of Prince, portrayed by Michael Worth. Just enjoy. In an ideal world this movie would walk away with the odd award, but just quick look at the phony accolades ceremonies gives little reason for any optimism here..
