Title: Get Low...
Post by: HatchA on May 23, 2011, 06:43:47 pm

So...  we watched this film last night and neither of us (my wife or I) had a clue what it was about.  Turned out to be a very lovely film about a Tennessee hermit named "Felix Bush" (though I think his real name was Felix "Bush" Breazeale) who organised his own "funeral party" cos he wanted people to know the truth about him. 

I found myself envying his lifestyle - portrayed in the movie, anyway.  I know a lot of stuff is subject to "artistic license" and when they start messing around with the timeline of things - the party and his eventual death - it just pissed me off a bit  >:(

Anyhoo...  Anyone else on here seen this film?  Stars Robert Duvall, Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek (among others).  I kept drooling at the countless trees that looked perfect for choppin' down an' splittin' into staves :)  Shame they filmed it in Georgia instead of Tennessee - I had visions of seeing a load of archers in the background... ;D

Pappy...  you ever hear anything about him?  Any myths or legends you heard growing up?

My wife and I saw the film and we really enjoyed it.  Had a good twist to it like an O Henry, Kate Chopin, and Saki story.. Turnes out the guy was not that bad and he punished himself for sins commited...

Film's called "Get Low"

Lane...  That's the second time you've put a grin on my face in the past few weeks :)  I dread to think what the "sins omitted" might be, let alone what the punishment is...  ;D  hehehe
