Train Dreams
Story of all of us trying to find meaning in life and we finally find it as it slips away. Visually beautiful. I’m a sucker for movies about a loner who lives in the woods. It made me think about what we have in life now, how we have manipulated the earth into having tech. How we take things for granted and why we shouldn’t. There isn’t a purpose necessarily to live, you just do. There isn’t much happening in the movie and the story isn’t captivating but I guess that’s what happens when you portray a regular Joe’s life on the big picture.
