Saving Luna (2007)
A human story
I went to see this movie only because I'd visited the town where it takes place and was interested to see it. But it is outstanding, a really sensitive, wise and beautiful look at our humanity, in my opinion. How we are all flawed, but doing our best, and want to reach out and connect. I found it profound, going beyond, even, the story of a whale. It is the kind of movie that has so much in it that people will take different things from it and they'll all be right...right for them. It resonates on many levels. One particular thing I liked is that it didn't fall into the usual media trap of finding 'bad guys' to explain problems, the 'us' and 'them' mentality. The attitude of 'If THOSE people would change or go away, things would be o.k.". We are 'those people' but don't like to face it, as it's easier not to. The director knows that and faces himself as well. It was a very memorable film and I would hope it would build slowly and get the interest it merits. The director is a great storyteller and it was a story worth telling. I'm glad it was told so well.
