Red Wing

I'm so happy Red Wing was recommended to me to watch. It was such a beautiful nontraditional love story.

The directing and acting were fantastic. Frances Fisher and Bill Paxton are always a pleasure to watch and Luke Perry did a really nice job with "Carl Blanton". I wasn't too familiar with Joelle Carter's work before watching this but now I'll keep an eye out for her.

It portrays the true destruction that can occur when someones heart becomes hardened and the communication gets lost. I love to watch films that you can learn from and this is one of them!

A great film to watch with your loved ones.

Red Wing is a beautiful, heart-warming film set in wholesome Texas. It stars both well- known, talented actors and new, up and coming beginners that truly shine in their roles. The actors did a splendid job at portraying the simple, yet complicated personalities of each character. The storyline is wholesome, pure and a welcome change from the endless other films playing today that are saturated with the same plots and intense love scenes. Red Wing tells a different type of love story- it's a chronology of changing, unexpected love over time. The lead actors did a great job of carrying the audience through every emotion, helping you to "live" the pain, heartache, joy, and completion of Maddie and Francis. This film is highly recommended. It is appropriate for all viewers and is touching. Red Wing leaves a lasting impression on its audience and represents the real meaning of love. I would love to see a sequel to this soulful, passionately made film.

Although a George Sand novella is the basis for Red Wing, in real life there was another Frances who fulfilled the same function. Bachelor Grover Cleveland was made guardian of his late partner's nine year old daughter when Oscar Folsom was killed in a carriage accident. When she came of age, Cleveland married Frances Folsom and she became the first lady and he became the only president to marry in the White House to this day.

Like Cleveland raised his own wife Breann Johnson raised her own husband who grew up to be Glen Powell. And quite the hunk he grew up to be with a James Dean type swagger. Married to good ole boy redneck Luke Perry and living with his mother Frances Fisher, Johnson takes a liking to the six year old orphan kid with a black foster mother that rent a trailer on their farm.

It takes a lot of years but Powell and Johnson find themselves and let the gossip mongers know they've been gossiping about the real deal.

Red Wing is an interesting film shot in Texas where the story is located and has some interesting characters in the background, not all of them stereotypes. Luke Perry takes acting honors, he's miles different here than Beverly Hills High hunk Dylan MacKay from his glory days in 90120.

This one's worth a look.

I am not a fan of romantic films and, maybe, this "pathetic" can be not fair. But, for me, "Red Wing" is a good film in its first part and result of unrealistic story in the second. Sure, it is not original but the idea of incest and the not most inspired use of the story of George Sand are the lead sins. The good points - the performances, first breann Johnson, frances Fisher , Luke Perry and Austin Harrod. Not the most inspired option - Glen Powell. But, in essence, a good try.

increible! A film worth to eulogize.

Definitely the forcefulness, intrigue and argument cause the desire to watch it again. There is an ''intrahistoria'' (as we say in Spain) hidden behind each character that contributes to its excellence and provokes mixed feelings.

Rather unpredictable from the beginning to the ending credits, it is noticeable the hard work that stays behind this greatly interesting movie. The atmosphere, the environment, and the situation in which the main characters have found themselves causes a truly stunning effect.

A love story highly recommendable.
