That is a cool behind the scenes story. Train Dreams already feels like a quiet gut punch, so hearing it started with a rough landing fits the whole vibe.
Joel Edgerton was unreal in this.

We’re rooting for this one at the Oscars because my son went to film school with a guy who worked on this movie. Just a behind the scenes support job, but he’s in the credits, so it counts. I liked the movie a lot more than my son did, so I am also rooting for it because I enjoyed it, my son just because of his friend. My son didn’t hate it, but it didn’t speak to him the same way as it did to me. I think that might be a age/experience difference. I think it hits harder if you are older and have more of your life behind you than in front of you.

Why the aircraft metaphor? Surely a rail related idiom or two might’ve worked better?

I cried. I laughed. Its a wonderful slice of life film. I especially enjoyed the direct approach. Simple coverage and captivating angles. The movie did a lot while doing little at the same time, if that makes any sense.

Definitely feel the Malick vibes with it. I usually don’t love these types of movies because it is a very narrow margin most directors don’t have the talent to make it work. Even talented directors will make something that doesn’t work for me like 2046.
Train Dreams and In the Mood for Love are the only two off the top of my head that I felt the directors nailed.
