The Seeker 3,048 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just wondering has anyone else ever seen this film? A mate gave me a copy to watch and it was fascinating. Filmed in 1969 a family cut off from the rest of the world living in the woods. Beats the Sh:t out of reality crap these days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did the old man ever build that boat, the one that would be "semi submersible"? More people need to see that movie it's incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the exact opposite. They come across as much more intelligent and more poetic than most people. And anyone can see how skilled they are. most of the time it is the old man laughing at us and the rest of the world and the mess we've made of it. I think it's a wonder of a film. Have watched it many times and there's always something new to discover every time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
