Nebraska || A film for everyone who cares about family ties!

I wanted to make a bit of a difference in choosing the film I'm going to watch tonight. Like the wind blowing in the opposite direction, sometimes I do this, most of the time I get lucky.

I looked at the last comments section of the site where I watched some films of the past years and the following comment caught my attention; It is a very good film and I called my father immediately after it was over!

When I clicked on it, the link took me to the 2013 film Nebraska.

When I looked at the plot, the idea that it could be quite boring weighed on my mind. An aging father sets off on foot from Montana to Nebraska, claiming to have won $1 million in the lottery. His wife and children don't believe him and each time they find him on the road and bring him back home. Finally, his young son pretends to believe him and they set off to take his father to Nebraska.

Let's get to know the Grant family, the faces we will see throughout the film.

Woody Grant as the elderly father is played by Bruce Dern, Kate Grant as the elderly mother is played by June Squibb, The eldest son is Ross Grant, played by Bob Odenkirk, The younger son is David Grant, played by Will Forte,

I would like to explain why I introduced the family; the conversations, events and reactions between the family throughout the film were warm and sincere. Their sincere behaviours were so compatible with their roles that I saw each of them as family members and familiar faces. So, although the plot may seem boring, the film had a very beautiful and fluent story.

Although it initially gives the impression of a whirlpool revolving around the same thing, it takes on a different shape when the journey to Nebraska begins.

Bruce Dern's performance as Woody, the elderly father, was marvellous. From the way he walked to the way he spoke and the way he reacted to events, everything was harmonious in a whole. Sometimes he looked tired and faded, sometimes he looked fresh, which seemed to be an indication of how much he was immersed in his role.

It was an admirable act to take his young son David all the way from Montana to Nebraska just so that he could see, hear and accept that he had not won the jackpot. Even though it may be seen as a dramatic scene that children have to take care of their parents after age and time, for me it will remain as a responsibility to be done.

Sometimes I come across the attitude that I don't owe my parents anything, that I have no obligation to take care of them. Everyone may be right from his/her own point of view, but this is not valid for me. I love my parents and it is my duty as a son to fulfil their needs and be there for them when they want.

The life of the Grant family causes you to expose yourself to such questions. Because two members of the Grant family (mother and eldest son) think that old Woody should be given to a nursing home. The younger son David is the only one who opposes this idea.

When I watched the film, I understood better what the person who made the comment meant. If I hadn't watched the film Nebraska late at night, I would go and hug my father. It wouldn't be a problem because they live one floor below me, but I have to leave it for the morning because of his advancing age and advancing time.

Thank God you are still in my life dad! I recommend everyone who loves family ties to watch the film.
