The two actors showed the intimacy and depth of their relationship. I suspect the real hero in this film was the editor, who cut cut cut to the essential lines. unlike Anh Khoi Do i did not want further eleboration. enough said. <br /><br />Cornelia HooglandCornelia Hooglandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188853438149183972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-60074541171524812852009-08-01T17:01:46.954-07:002009-08-01T17:01:46.954-07:00I would agree that it has clichés throughout, but ...I would agree that it has clichés throughout, but I liked the movie enough to see past them.<br /><br />I played right wing.Norma Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185179321818700556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-77530518907881882402009-07-30T19:55:23.898-07:002009-07-30T19:55:23.898-07:00While reading your review, I think that I was a li...While reading your review, I think that I was a little bit harsh towards this film. Even though I enjoyed being taken by the film to many Canadian landmarks, I just couldn't suppress my feeling that the film has clichés here and there. Besides, during the conversations between Ben and his girlfriend, I thought (at the time I saw it) that the dialogues could be a little bit more elaborated since we're dealing with death/cancer.<br /><br />Anyway, maybe one of those days, I should watch it again.<br /><br /><i>"*small aside: if you're ever planning on visiting the landmarks showcased in this film, be aware that the world's biggest hockey stick is not in Manitoba, as it is in the film, but in Duncan, BC. I know this because I grew up in Duncan and played hockey in that rink."</i><br /><br />Note taken. Besides, what position did you play in hockey?Anh Khoi Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018387547508527604noreply@blogger.com
