Train Dreams

[2rocky]

Novella

Film on Netflix

I watched this as a Valentine’s Eve movie with my sweetheart in front of the fire. The northwest them spoke to me as it mentioned the Moyie River near Bonner’s Ferry Idaho and places in Spokane Washington made cameos for those who know.

The best recommendation I can offer is that if you listen to to the lyrics of “He went to Paris” by Jimmy Buffett and I makes you smile and feel a little sad, then you will get this film.

This is definitely a film and not a movie and it does the job of making you think about your lives and experiences and what we will encounter experience and overcome in our lives that we never could have imagined.

Five stars.

We watched it a couple weeks ago, definitely interesting and though provoking. Thought we would recognize more scenery.

Absolutely beautiful film. Denis Johnson, the author of the novella it’s based on, is a top-notch writer.

will check it out tomorrow. Thanks! That’s an interesting title, it already pulls you in a bit. Stories like that tend to leave room for interpretation. Everyone takes something different from them. That’s what keeps discussions going. It’s not always about clear answers. It’s kind of like msnbc reviews—people reacting in different ways.

Watched it. Liked it. Would recommend.
