Get Low...
« on: May 23, 2011, 06:43:47 pm »
So...  we watched this film last night and neither of us (my wife or I) had a clue what it was about.  Turned out to be a very lovely film about a Tennessee hermit named "Felix Bush" (though I think his real name was Felix "Bush" Breazeale) who organised his own "funeral party" cos he wanted people to know the truth about him. 

I found myself envying his lifestyle - portrayed in the movie, anyway.  I know a lot of stuff is subject to "artistic license" and when they start messing around with the timeline of things - the party and his eventual death - it just pissed me off a bit  >:(

Anyhoo...  Anyone else on here seen this film?  Stars Robert Duvall, Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek (among others).  I kept drooling at the countless trees that looked perfect for choppin' down an' splittin' into staves :)  Shame they filmed it in Georgia instead of Tennessee - I had visions of seeing a load of archers in the background... ;D

Pappy...  you ever hear anything about him?  Any myths or legends you heard growing up?

My wife and I saw the film and we really enjoyed it.  Had a good twist to it like an O Henry, Kate Chopin, and Saki story.. Turnes out the guy was not that bad and he punished himself for sins commited...
I was HECHO EN MEXICO, but assembled in Texas and I'm Texican as the day is long...  Psalm 127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Criveraville I sometimes punish myself for sins omitted.

Film's called "Get Low"

Lane...  That's the second time you've put a grin on my face in the past few weeks :)  I dread to think what the "sins omitted" might be, let alone what the punishment is...  ;D  hehehe

Johnston,
