I love this movie so much
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Crappy film
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
This was a surprisingly wonderful movie. I love the mountains, and the way these people lived was incredibly awesome.This story makes me feel like going to the highest mountains to live. The actors were perfect for each part.The way these folks dealt with real life was real justice. They did it the way it should be done. The way they tracked down all the evidence was amazing. Their skills were uncanny. At the end, GODS hand turned even the hardest heart into a soft one. The decency was there, and things were as they should be.If you haven't seen this movie, please take time to watch it. It is GREAT.
I live here where they filmed the movie and I thought it was wonderful, the story was a wonderful setting for a romance and I thought the way they met and grew to love one another was outstanding. Even though the murder took place it showed what all they were willing to sacrifice for love. The way the family takes him in as a part of them at the beginning except for one brother and the way he begins to trust him is even as touching. The bear hut I thought was true to life as everyone here has mostly been and the producers and directors kept it true to life. We had a couple of our own hometown folks in the movie, the older men on the porch of the store, added more depth and made us proud. I guess in some ways we are portrayed as "bumpkins" still but I guess in a lot of ways we are and it shows how we live here... or families are all close and loving, never turn our back on our loved ones and I like how the movie shows us.
This movie was filmed near my hometown in the Western North Carolina mountains in a little community called Plumtree in Avery County. The severe winter weather depicted in the film is like it really is. The elevation here is about 3500 feet and the area gets enough snow to support a large snow skiing industry.
If only I could live with those clans from that small quaint valley. This film takes me back to a time and lifestyle that some of my ancestors may have experienced. I would have passed the time hunting bears and growing crops. The complex Christian symbolism woven throughout the movie makes it a must see for all of mankind. You will never find better acting or scenery in any film. If you have time to see one movie before you taking the big dirt nap you should watch this drama.
