Author Topic: America's Heart & Soul Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 07-09-2004 10:21 PM                    Americans: If Michael Moore has you feeling all down and depressed about yourself and your country in general, you should definitely check this movie out. Director Louis Schwartzberg basically took his camera and set out to tell the story of the greatness of this country and her citizens. The result is a series of stories about average Joes doing average, above average, and sometimes great things. It's a "feel good about yourself and your fellow man" kind of documentary, and I enjoyed it even though the pace slowed down a little bit a couple of times. You'll have to search for this one. I'm not sure if it's going any wider or not, but currently it's on less than 100 screens. Check it out if you'd like to see something positive and uplifting for a change.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-11-2004 09:01 AM                        http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/newsletters/inCamera/july2004/heart.jhtml quote: The 84-minute film consists of 25 cinematic portraits of people expressing their passion for their work. There is great variety among these people, including an Appalachian coal miner, a blind ice climber, a New Orleans jazz trombone player and a Colorado cowboy, all seen in the environments where they work. Each miniprofile blends seamlessly into the fabric of an overall story that captures the essence of the American spirit.  |  IP: Logged
