“In Herman Williams’ seminal work on the joys of being a model train hobbyist, he writes: ‘Many an hour have I spent blissfully lost in a world of my own creation. For the model train enthusiast, there exists a secret world of order and symmetry, nestled into the corners of our basements and attics, where we lord over a world where the hobbyist plays omnipotent creator. There, in one eight seven scale, the neighbors are always kind, the lovers always end up together, and the trains take you to the far-off places you always swore you’d go. In life of course, nothing is nearly as neat and tidy.’”
— Daniel (Morgan Freeman), A Good Person (2023)
This looks incredible. I am enthralled by Morgan Freeman. That voice…..
He, as usual, is excellent. But Florence Pugh was just amazing.
Where is it playing? I’ll watch pretty much anything with Morgan Freeman!
Nvm… just found it plays on Prime 🙂
Amazon Prime now.
Of course I cried … if this movie was rated in tissues, I would recommend bringing box. It’s a beautiful, poignant premise..
Yes… exactly Mimi.
This looks wonderful and I can’t wait!
Oh, another good recommendation. Have you seen Love Actually?
Yes. Loved it!
Me too! Talk about Kleenxs… its that time of year. This looks so good.
I loved it!
sorry to jump in here. love actually has been an annual holiday retreat for my wife and me. this year i was asked for a recommendation on holiday films and withheld mentioning this one, without consciously knowing why. days later it struck me: in all the varied forms of love the film depicts, it misses one category entirely. and how do you recommend a film like this to same-sex friends?
Hi Ben. I thought story was one of forgiveness, grief and loss which applies to all, married or not. My POV anyway.
It is now Wednesday… Has Caleb been kidnapped? I for one…am in withdrawal! 😊
He’s just disappeared!
Thanks Dave!
I watched this recently and cried… so much. In a good way, though. Stunning performances.
Agree Laila!
