Have a new old movie to add to my list:
The Man Without a Face ~ directed by and stars Mel Gibson
I saw this film years ago with my then adolescent son and we loved it. I wondered if I would still think it as good, and I did. It was funny and serious and touching and truthful. I loved the scenes when the teacher (Gibson) is getting the young boy entralled in Shakespeare; they play out the scenes in Merchant of Venice, making the play come to life. I loved the score by James Horner and the scenery. I think it was filmed in Oregon, even though, at first, I thought it was New England. Some time in the film it showed a Portand Dinner sign. The house used on the beach was amazing and once I read something about it online or in a magazine I believe. It is an actual property....really awesome photography of the house in mist, etc. Acting was great and I wondered who played the boy. Has he gone onto stardom. I will look him up online. All the acting was great and the story a good one. I would give this film a high rating. It is well-worth viewing and very enjoyable.
