| SECONDHAND LIONS (2003) | |
|
|
The young teen Walter (Haley Joel Osment) is dumped by his irresponsible mother at his two eccentric uncles', Garth (Michael Caine) and Hub (Robert Duvall), where he is to spend his summer. His summer is full of adventures and marvelous stories told by his uncles as he is becoming aware of what he wants. Secondhand Lions is a young "coming of age" film in the style of Princess Bride (1987), which reaches the audience with its serious message through the use of far-fetched adventures and lessons in dialogue. The director, McCanlies, creates a terrific cinematic link between young and old as he communicates his message of aging and living. This leaves the audience with a humorous story containing many lessons worth pondering. |
