Flying Love

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...

I just watched this movie.I found myself binge watching The Fall and I quite enjoyed Jamie Dornan's performance there, so I decided to have a look at the rest of his work,after having watched FSOG.The movie was much better than I had expected,bearing in mind that the whole pigeon racing sounded a bit boring.It was corny I guess but again,you know that you are about to watch a romantic movie so many things can be excused I suppose.I found his performance decent and pretty acceptable and the way he coloured his characher proves that he definitely has acting skills.The photography was excellent,the rest of the cast was great as well so..If you are looking for an OK movie to spend your time and at the same time admire the looks of the main lead..there you have it!

First I must say something very rude - Isabelle Pauwels (Charlotte De Bruyne) is not much to look at and I didn't believe for a minute that Colin (Jamie Dornan) would have been remotely interested in her. Here we have a NYC high finance hunk suddenly falling head over heals for a simple country girl in Belgium.

Then the old folks and those pigeons!! And a billionaire middle eastern guy that must have the prized pigeon. Fony baloney crap! Not believable at all. AND who couldn't figure out that the prized pigeon would fly home?? Every character came across as just a bit to simple and the pigeon was the only smart one in the whole group.

The WW1 connection was so loosely injected into the story it was a laff!!

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.

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