Farm life...there was sweat, hard work, drunkeness, dirt, struggle; but there was also peacefulness, calm, green grass, light breezes, swimming holes and crickets chirping. There is a calming feel to the movie that draws you in and just the right amount of hopefulness to the struggle and the sad. I thought that the combination of calm and hopefulness made it a sad but beautiful film. It left me feeling like I was laying in a field on a warm summer night...after a hard days work and a cool dip in the swimming hole...looking up at the stars knowing that I can't control where my life is headed, but that I can control the kind of person I am.
