The Straight Story
1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this 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 ...
