Apple&Orange :
I watched this last Saturday, and I've thought about it every day since. It lingers, not because it's loud or flashy, but because it's honest, intimate, and deeply human. Why don't studios make more films like this anymore, films that trust silence, trust the story, and trust the audience to feel emotion.
Train Dreams reminded me of why I love films. It rekindled that spark, the awe, the wonder, the sense that film can still be magical, mysterious, and magnificent. It's the kind of movie that doesn't just entertain you...it stays with you, quietly, beautifully.
In an era obsessed with explosions, car chases, endless sequels, superheroes, remakes of remakes, and CGI so overwhelming it drowns out thought - Train Dreams feels like a return to actual meaning of cinema; Character and story telling...
It cuts through all the noise and reminds me of what storytelling and the viewers investment in a character on film is supposed to feel like.
Studios: please make more films like this. 5/5
