From director David Lynch comes a lyrical portrait of one man's real journey across America's Heartland. Filmed along the 260-mile route that the actual Alvin Straight traversed in 1994 from Laurens, Iowa to Mt. Zion, Wisconsin, "the Straight story" chronicles Alvin's patient odyssey and those he meets along the way. When not rolling along at five miles an hour aboard his '66 John Deere, Alvin encounters a number of strangers, from a teenage runaway to a fellow World War II veteran. By sharing his life's earned wisdom with simple stories, Alvin has a profound impact on these characters that color his pilgrimage.

    The Straight Story

    By maryanneqos  Mar 20, 2003 | 1 out of 1 found this The Straight Story (1999) review helpful

    There was nothing else on, so I tuned in. I guess a good many people would consider this movie boring, or so they would think. I was amazed at how such a simple story captured not only my attention but my heart. I'm familiar with the route that Alvin... traveled as I'm from Wisconsin. I'ts hard to believe that anyone, especially a person in his 70's could travel in this fasion for a 5 week period. I can't imagine anyone doing a finer job of portraying the fiesty old gieser than "Richard Farnsworth". The role was meant for him, and I doubt that it would have been that sucseesful if he had'nt come out of retirement. The only disappointment that I had was not knowing how he traveled back home.I don't know how long he visited with Lyle, but if he used the same method of transportation and left soon after his arrival, it would have been mid November by his return. Wisconsin rains and cold would not have allowed for a safe journey. If anyone knows where I can read about the return trip or his stay with Lyle, please let me know. Maryanne Read more Less
