Into The West

The movie "Into the West" is a classical tear-jerker.
A dead mother's soul continued to protect her children. A man chose to exile after his beloved wife passed away. And, you’ve got a grandpa who could tell a mythical story symbolizing eternity.

The movie was set in Ireland, where you can easily feel melancholy without any knowledge about the story. However, the tension between Irish travelers vs. the modern society was depicted in a flat tone. The filmmakers did not bother to put more layers on either side of characters. Yes, you probably already guessed what I am going to say next.

Nevertheless, I still enjoy seeing this movie. It fairly coveys some romantic ideas about life and love, which may be impractical but precious in this cynical world.

So, you may still want to check out this lovely story, and then think about having a trip to Ireland someday as I did :)
