this film is truly a gem and i can see why it is such a classic loved by most. the landscape scenery captured is stunning and creates an opening i will never forget. i was quickly sucked into the little world of the characters whom i adored. also one of the most realistic child roles i've seen in terms of acting and dialogue. part of the beauty of this film is that the complexity of their situation all plays out in such a minimalist way. it is so easy to be captured by the ambiguity and every move the main character, Travis, makes - from his first step in front of the camera to his exit in the end ... and to follow along the path leading to the entire "big picture." some of the most endearing moments i've seen in film. for drama lovers who don't mind slower-paced, this is a must see.
