Movie ReviewsThe Beginning Ellison Lowry | Pasadena, CA | 08/11/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "When I first saw this on TV I really like it, probably because it is a coming of age story. Coming of age stories are good because they make you aware of how you came to be a certain way as an adult.
A Painted House I felt when I saw it allows you to see how different life can be for others. My life growing up was nothing like those in this film and actually I couldn't really identify with any of the characters. Everyone knows that opposites attract and that is the only reason I can explain for liking this movie. Also the story is told from the youngest boy's point of view and that added something special to the narrative structure because the storyteller is looking back on his childhood. That's another reason I enjoyed it, I love movies about writers, even though A Painted House had nothing to do with writing in its story; I still enjoyed that element that the boy would grow up to be a writer. Most people are unaware of the writer's creative process and just seeing this kid picking cotton and watching fights and going to five-cent matinees and knowing he grows up to be a writer made me watch a little more careful to see how that creative process began." |
