A Slice of America, 4 October 2000

After seeing this film I feel like I know just a little bit more about the
USA. David Lynch is synonymous with shock value and weird for weirdness
sake, and indeed these elements are not missing from The Straight Story.
However it is in a light that I have not witnessed from Lynch before. We
begin with a simple family living a quiet life but end up with an array of
absurdly interesting characters with depth in their lives that cannot be
apparent from their introduction. Especially moving was the bar scene
with
two WWII veterans discussing the events of fifty years ago and how it
still
affected their current lives and emotions.
If you are looking for Wild at Heart or Dune, don't look here. But if you
are looking for real people with real stories this is the film for
you.
