The Goodbye People, July 22, 2001
This review is from: Goodbye People [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Each character portrays the feelings of their individual needs in a way that we can easily identify with them. The plot brings the actors into a real life situation that addresses our natural fears, anxieties, affections, disappointments and hope.
We do not always follow through on plans,ideas or life style changes because of our insecurities. This movie approaches this subject with great sensitivity and humor, warmth and courage. The leading actors each face an individual challenge in their lifestyle and careers which creates empathy with the viewer. Add to this, the cruelty of the business world with all the failures and problems inherent in having to deal with financial gain and you have a resulting mix of conflict. You are emotionaly drawn into the story and live all the moments with the performers.
The music compliments the mood and punctuates the action with a melodic and harmonious blend that helps create the feelings and action on screen. The lighting is excellent and assists in highlighting the set and actors while creating the mood with the shift in intensity and color. The dialog is intelligent,natural, easy to follow, in this well conceived plot with a simple story line.
The director and cinematographer has provided us with a well edited and inspirational work that combines pathos, humor and drama. This "feel good" film leaves us with a great feeling that you can accomplish your dream at any time of your life regardless of adversity.
