My Favorite Movie

One of my very favorite movies is Life as a House. Life as a House is captured so well that I could watch that movie all day long. The secenic views are fantastic and the angels that they were shot at just make it complete. Everything about this movie is just wonderful from the story which is about a father and his son who build a house which is the way the build a strong father and son relationship. The house is a big symbol throughout the whole movie and brings people back together and closer.

The house is on top of a clif facing the ocean and the shots taken of the house before it was built and after are just so beautiful beacuse of the secenary. When the father and son are building the houses they shot it at all different angles so you could see exactly what had been done. Also when they put the flim together at the secenes where the house was being built they put some of the shots together very quickly. One would be visualizing the house being put together fast. The whole reason for building the house is because the father is dying of cancer which he does not tell his family till the middle of the movie. You get to see his whole life turn around with this house. Plus the lessons that they learn about forgiving and moving on makes the movie even more emotional. It is a movie that you could relate to.
