that movie bummed me the fuck out. i hadnt cried during a movie since my ex said we should watch "inside out" while we were drunk until i saw this movie.
 
I tried to get tickets for this when it played in Omaha but missed out. Still really want to see it. Glad to hear positive feedback
 
It was good and it was sad, just finished watching it. Coulda been sadder though, so I guess there's that.
 
list of films @Engineer J Lupo also thinks could of been sadder: life is beautiful, old yeller, my girl, the ending to terminator 2 when he gives the thumbs up before melting, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, up, and last but not least marley and me.
 
Haha, nah I don't mean it could have used more sadness. I meant yes, it was sad but it could have been Dear Zachary sad.
 
Hachi was the saddest movie of all time but once I saw the comparison to that moment in Terminator 2 I knew that I could never watch this movie

This man is a very good friend to me . What they did is bullshit to him . There's more to the story
 
Not surprised the authorities considered their living conditions unacceptable. HA! The girl had no cavities and was way above her intelligence level for her age. Too bad more parents weren't as badass as him. I've read the book twice. Even though the book is fiction, there's some great ideas within it- like covering up shiny parts of a pack, hiding stuff in camp and making emergency dugout shelters. Dressing more civilian like when going to town so they wouldn't raise any suspicion.

The movie definitely touched a nerve with me, as I saw a little of myself in the Dad living how he choose to live.

I wonder how him and his daughter are doing now and what her thoughts are on her time living in forest park. Hope they're out there doing well.
 
I watched it last night with my boys. They really enjoyed . I did for the most part too....I dunno the end kind of phased me off but maybe more because I could relate to the rest of it with having to house up to get my kids back etc...
 
yep. watched a few months ago. made my throat ache a little. excellent performance.
 
About to watch this on an airplane. Probably going to wait for everyone to fall asleep tho before I envitabely sit here crying
 
I just watched this movie on Netflix. I was going to post about it on here when I saw it had already been posted. Great movie!
 
Ya, watched this a while ago. Such a great look Into PTSD, being houseless with children, the criminalization of homelessness....

It was a great film. I would like to see a documentary about the actual making of the film, with the people it was based on, and how the director interpreted that into the final product.
 
I watched it... If that wasn't the most realistic movie I ever seen, I don't know what is... Family fell apart, full of tragedy, nothing worked out in the end, and it wasn't alright.... Damn that's some real life shit
