Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
The Rumanian boy who learned english from his mother who teaches english in Rumania is the only one in the picture who speaks understandable english. As a Rumanian not used to the local dialect there should be a lot of misunderstandings in the movie between the characters. Just to make the movie more realistic... He comes to a farm and understands everybody... totally unacceptable in my view.
Mesmerized by the love and tenderness in it; and the transformation of a backwards country boy into a loving and caring man through his interaction with a migrant farm hand.
The simplicity of this film outstanding! It's a Modern Day Brokeback Mountain.
This is not a gay film, but it is a masterful film about the transmission of love . Johnny, the main character just happens incidentally to be gay, a fact that is never hidden, nor challenged but is as grudgingly accepted as are other characteristics such as drunkenness by the other characters he relates to. Relates is hardly an appropriate term for the displays of his anger, frustration and resentment that is largely evident through his inability to acknowledge and communicate his feelings on his path to self-destruction. Enter the low status itinerant worker who becomes the catalyst that displays an alternative role model to Johnny as they by and large go about the mundanities of working on the farm. The magic woven by the quiet presence of this stranger is Shakespearian in its impact, with Biblical parallels. The love that has lain beneath the surface of each of the main characters emerges achingly slowly with subtlety and inevitability . As sure as the sun insinuates itself onto the frozen fields, the heads lift, the eyes open and the hearts beat louder than the ever present wind. Love is awakened, for the animals for the previously hidden beauty of the harsh landscape, and for each of the characters for each other. Each in their own way they begin to communicate the care they feel for everything and everyone around them. And not least is Johnnys salvation through discovering his repressed feelings for the farm the animals his disabled father, his stoic grandmother and his lover. But most of all he discovers self-love. And they all walk taller. This is not a gay film . It is a film about hope and it is portrayed on screen with as much love and as surely as if it was a love poem.
