I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
The first time I saw this on PBS I couldn't stop talking about it to my friends and family. This man was amazing to me. I believe all children should see this movie. It shows a man who built this whole cabin and supplies from scratch. It shows believing in the land and its purity and starting a job and finishing it. Most of all that what you believe you can do is possible. I just watched it again tonight and still sat there amazed~~~~ I tried the library but they don't have copies to rent. I loved this movie so much I am going to buy it and show it to my 6 year old grandson and my nieces. I want them to realize there is more to life then television and facebook and mp3 players. I give this movie 6 stars lol
We thought that this was a pretty good movie. We were impressed that he could live 35 years on his own. His craftsmanship was amazing, and he made a lot of very nice things, Like the cabin itself and furniture. He was very resourceful. It was impressive what he was able to do at his age. After his 6 months in bed rest, He was devoted to spending his life improving his physical health. He was a very skilled carpenter. He was a very skilled outdoors man, and knew the terrain and wild life well. He was almost self sufficient in his food too, Hunting and planting a garden to keep himself full. He was a smart man, and knew where the frost lines would be to make a refrigerator to keep his food fresh.
Alan, Justtin and I found this movie to be slightly boring. We didn't feel that it kept my attention, but it's also not the type of movie that we prefer to watch. A man built his own cabin and lived in the wild for a long time. This movie was very uninteresting to us. I in particular, felt that it was monotonous. Justin felt that the movie "sucked". He also felt that "it was boring and very bland". Alan felt that the movie was "very uninteresting and didn't keep my interest very well." So overall, we felt that the movie was awful. Definitely not the best we've seen. I'd much rather watch a movie that has more action in it instead of a movie about an old man building his own cabin. This movie movie was awful!!! Never watching it again!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though the documentary is not slick its pretty cool. Its amazing what one man in his fifties accomplished. The documentary follows him throughout the months from building his cabin to surviving the winters in Alaska. Someone told me about this movie and I was lucky enough to find a torrent and download it.It was really cool to see a normal person accomplish something cool. It just shows you that if you're motivated enough then you can pretty much do anything you set your mind to. One can only imagine what the makers of stonehenge must have gone through, I believe that those people were just as motivated as this man was.
