A Better Life


USA 2011

Details imdb

Seen 16 May 2012

Dreams and promises

Ratings
IMDB 7.1/10
Rotten Tomatoes Audience 79% liked it
Don't expect punch-ups or fast paced action when you watch this film but be prepared to be buoyed by the relationship between a father and his son. A laid back style which might be too tame for some but it does get a 7.0/10 for the overall feel.




My impressions:

The daily struggle
Seem to be at an end
When the father gets his a new lease of life
A new beginning
Hopes soar high

Unexpected turn of events
Derail those dreams

He tries
The son helps
Understands up to a certain point
Why the father behaves in that way
Seems distant
When a more immediate action
Would be better

It is love in the end
That explains it all

That inexplicable, unexplainable
Feeling
For someone
