Among Giants (1998)
Mixed feelings, but I like it.
All of the negative and positive comments I have read about this film are true, but this film does stick with you--I saw it at 3am on HBO--and enjoyed it. In summary, I believe that the experience of seeing this film is filled with many contradictions, It's often slow and pointless but engaging in a weird way. I believe that the characters have depth, although they are not developed sufficiently in the film (I guess that we are free to fill in the details). Pete's in good shape for an old dude, but I don't want to see him frolicking about in the cooling tower, although it's beautifully shot and Rachel's with him. The tower painting is both boring and intriguing--I don't ever remember seeing anyone ever paint an electrical tower anywhere in this world. Do people really do this? It's a quirky film that will appeal to some, turn others off and not have too many people in between. Had I paid $10 to see it at a theater I might not have the same fondness, but it would still stick with me for a long time after words.
