Charming, simply charming.
This was a movie based on a true story about a widower who decides it’s time for a change and moves out to the country and buys a house with a zoo attached, yeah, that’s about right.
The movie stars Matt Damon and Scarlet Johnsen, personally, and I know I’m going to get smacked, I don’t see what it is about Scarlet Johnsen, just my opinion (she filled her catsuit quite well in The Avengers, other than that…) I thought it was cast well and the actor who played Matt Damon’s son looked like him, good casting.
It was cowritten by Cameron Crowe, so you know it’s going to be good.
This was a story about love, loss, coping, not coping, hope, desperation, longing, adventure with some faith thrown in, faith each other and in yourself and twenty seconds of “insane courage, embarrassing bravery” after that, what could go wrong?
Matt Damon is the main character who just wants to make a life for his kids after his wife had passed and figure out how to go on, he has to, doesn’t have a choice. His kids are at interesting ages, the youngest is about six and just loves her daddy, his son is a teenager and living up to the title. It seems crazy to buy a zoo, but there are many lessons to be learned from the experience and the animals.
Never give up and life is the next big adventure, what will you do with yours?
