Train Dreams

One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. Cinematography is wonderful throughout the entire movie with shots that I would put on my wall as art. Truly blown away by how good this looks. Wish I could’ve seen it in theaters (#ThanksNetflix).  Great exploration of what it means to have purpose in this life, and purpose as a man in particular. The movie itself is very melancholic but I can’t help but feeling somewhat optimistic/hopeful by the end of it. I like the message that it leaves you with. Acting is phenomenal throughout. Edgerton does a great job of showing the changes in his character as we progress through the different stages of his life. Supporting cast is great as well.  Love how they portrayed this time period and the rapid change that was happening with industrialization. Interesting parallels to be made to changes that are happening today. 8.4/10
