关于此电影

Inspired by the true story of Tennessee recluse Felix Bush Breazeale, who planned his funeral while he was still alive, director Aaron Schneider's dramatic period thriller stars Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, and Lucas Black. Few folks have spoken with Felix Bush (Duvall) since he disappeared into the Tennessee woods 40 years ago, and the ones who have don't necessarily have the kindest things to say about him. Gruff, confrontational, and ill-tempered, Felix has been the source of many malicious rumors over the years. Some say he's a cold-hearted killer and his penchant for walking into town with a shotgun, a wild beard, and threadbare clothes doesn't exactly give the impression of a man who seeks to make friends. When Felix walks into Frank Quinn's (Murray) funeral parlor and announces his intentions to throw himself a massive party before he passes away, word quickly spreads through town and anticipation starts to run high. Before long the big day has finally arrived, and Felix surprises everyone by revealing exactly why he shunned society to lead a life of solitude in the deep woods. © 2010 Get Low Productions, LLC.

评分和评价

The southeast corner of the states that is mountainous terrain and woodland in the thirties old folk just barely able to feed themselves had a heck of a go. This Mr. Bush had a gentle side and worked hard all his days. Then out of the blue he wants to get low. He hasn't gotten to be able to lay all his burdens down and so he does on a stage in public. Its very well acted and a humble and loving ending.

Brilliantly scripted, unbelievable story, brilliantly acted by America's best actor, Duvall, and a close runner up, Bill Murray. It "makes you laugh till you cry and cry until you laugh." That is the definition of great theater!

I bought this based on the reviews saying it was amazing. It only felt like it should be amazing. This film failed to live up to its potential.
