The world is neither black nor white, it is various shades of grey. Generally movies ten to be one or the other. This movie helps to bring balance to the candy, puff, lazy thinking, empty crap we generally have at the mall. Designed to basically sell popcorn and help us escape. The standard movie fair is like really crappy cocaine. At first the dealer gives you the good stuff, you get hooked and from then on you get the crap. This movie is like all of a sudden getting your hands on the good stuff. Viggo Peter Mortensen Jr wore his character like a glove, spoke to his offspring as if he helped birth them in the forrest keeping them safe in a very unsafe place. He emotes the relationships he has with his children, by making sure we get that each is unique, with its own tempo, smile and varying eye contact. He had support from the youngins, on set when acting yet that is all. From my perspective his dad character was nothing more then Mortensen's other persona he lives with daily yet no, this is a character he developed for this project, has some support from the kids and is very successful presenting the Dad with ease, confidence, coolness and wit all on his own merit. Hope you win

While some facts were misconstrued as to definitions, the suspension thereof was humorously brilliant at points. Archetypes were usually well-crafted with ties to family, originality, and independence as a American Classic might hope to aspire. While the trite exercises punctuating the experience of this movie were trying, the conclusion justified the exercise in patience. What I liked most was how mind and heart were both respected by all players. Worth the purchase for me.
