Flying Home

Heart warming story and beautifully acted. Unique story plot about racing pigeons and falling in love.

I kind of liked the movie. Jamie Dornan was okay, but it wasn't his best. The Belgian actors were great, they really picked out the best ones. But their accents bothered me a little. (I'm not judging, I'm Belgian too). What did kind of bother me was that it was a little phony. You kind of knew what would happen and how it would end. It could have been cute if the film was a little more exciting. But nevertheless, I am proud of the Belgian director and those who all participated in this movie. It was surprising that they could find such a "famous' (American) actor for the film.

All together, I would say watch this movie and see for yourself. Some people will like it more then I do, I am sure.

Excellent Movie! Moving story!! Specially if you are animal lover or pigeon fancier. Depicts the true human and animal nature. Truly shows what power motivate all people and animals. Transcends over cut throat billion dollar corporate ladder climbing executives. Beautiful settings and correct character depiction of pigeon fanciers. There's nowhere else you could find a better place where true pigeon racing started but the heart of Belgium. The Pigeon Sport has grown to unbelievable magnitude but of people do not know about it. Very good moral story. Excellent acting too from everyone. James Dornan is better in this movie than 50 Shades of Gray.

A sugary water novel, with the pigeons differential, after all, I had never seen any that dealt with the theme, Pigeon racing, which is the breeding of racing pigeons for competition... A charlatan protagonist, but with a happy ending...

Anyone with knowledge of the role Pigeoneers played in WWI and the history that pigeons played in Europe from transporting news to stock market quotes before the telegraph will enjoy this movie. Movie buffs who recall the 1940 movie "A Dispatch from Reuters" know what I mean. This of course will be missed by a lot of the younger generations.

The scenes of Flanders Belgium are peaceful and charming. The acting is good. Jamie Dornan looked troubled throughout the movie, not happy being the cold-hearted businessman his father created, he becomes remorseful and takes a career destructive path to redemption. Charlotte De Bruyne has that European brightness and simple hometown charm that is perfect as a sweet girl from Flanders living with her grandfather.

Make sure you use the subtitles on the DVD as some of the audio is Belgian.
