Late Movie Review. :D

Last Good Friday, my Dad made my siblings and I watch the movie Brother Sun, Sister Moon. The movie is about the life of St. Francis of Assisi. I remember how my siblings and I really didn't want to watch it but what the heck. I thought the movie was going to be boring and long(it's 122 minutes long :O).



And guess what? The three of us stuck to those 2 hours and 2 minutes. I personally won't watch the film again not unless necessary, but the film was made well. A lot of the shots were really breathtaking! And if you want to know the plot, you guys would rather much check this movie out. :)

Although this biopic is more on the drama side, in some weird way, I found a ton of things in the movie pretty funny like every time Francesco's friends(who are also wealthy and spoiled like what Francesco used to be)would turn to him one by one. It's kinda amazing actually because Francesco was able to influence these guys(and boy, how easily influenced they are!). He was also able to make Clare(Yes. THE Clare. As in St. Clare of Assisi)follow him and his way of life, too.

What I drag about this movie is that during the first parts of the film, instead of some guy who finally seems more devout to his faith than ever before, he came off as a madman. I am not putting down the story, okay? It's just how the scenes were made and how the actor(Graham Falkner) portrayed Francesco in them although you can't blame how them since during those first parts, Francesco was recovering from a feverish illness.

I applaud Graham Faulkner's performance as Francesco. This was his first and greatest performance during his career as an actor. I wonder why actors and actresses during the 70's--no matter how great they are--just suddenly disappear out of the spotlight after only a handful of films. I wonder what they are up to now...

One More thing:
I ate these while watching the movie. Technically, these were kinda like my dessert after eating a kung pao dish for dinner.I rediscovered just how good Chubby is. I used to buy this a lot almost two years ago then I just stopped. I dunno why. But they're goooood. I also ate those Super Sticks that are Tutti Frutti flavored during the movie, too.
