There are no white picket fences and nice houses, let alone fancy cars. It is poor whie trash at it's bleakest. It reminded me very much of last years harrowing Precious.<br /> It is one thing I love about film is it may not actually be a good movie or memorable, but sometimes it gives a visual snapshot into another contries landscape and lifestyle. Winter's Bone did that for me more than the actual script. The colourless landscape is beautifully filmed and I enjoyed looking at it and marvelling at the fact people exist there. It was thought provoking, and brought home to me what someof us take for granted finacially. I'm not rich, but I'm not as poor as these Missourians!<br /> I agree totally with Ruth..king's Speech wasn't worthy of the Oscar...totally over rated as a film.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2420106301930528063.post-78192590793282283702011-04-09T12:34:08.495+01:002011-04-09T12:34:08.495+01:00Haven't seen Winter's Bone yet, but I'...Haven't seen Winter's Bone yet, but I'm starting to feel like I mighr find it 'meh' as well. Atmosphere and everything is fine, but something has to happen! I'll reserve judgement though (pssst - I'm afraid I'm one of those who raved about the King's Speech! But I will say it wouldn't be half as good without Firth and Rush, and it definitely shouldn't have won the Oscar!)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175638828147935702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2420106301930528063.post-40454970075004582692011-04-07T13:59:58.824+01:002011-04-07T13:59:58.824+01:00Jack - It might be easier to find something everyo...Jack - It might be easier to find something everyone hates.

I like frequently films where nothing happens,but not films intended to be improving, and I'm not sure which this is.ArtSparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875996639432864367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2420106301930528063.post-58403989558742787322011-04-06T23:59:27.928+01:002011-04-06T23:59:27.928+01:00There should be a word to describe that.

I really liked Jennifer Lawrence's performance, she is a very talented young actresss. What I most liked is that it is an indie production which makes it so different from the mass produced garbage that is churned out by Hollywood each year.<br /> Each to their own and it is always interesting to read other people's opinions especially when they differ to your own.BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.com
