A Man Called Otto. Best movie I’ve seen in a long time.
Just watched A Man Called Otto on Netflix with Tom Hanks and his real life son Truman. I liked the movie a lot but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who is suffering from depression (I could be wrong).
I can't decide who Truman Hanks looks more like: Rita or Tom (I guess he looks like both).
Despite having been around to see Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, I had never seen this flick till now. Thunderdome, yes, seen that relentlessly for it was the only good tape we had on deployment.....but not this one. It must have been quite impressive when on the big screen and it has a whole lot more to give than other desert post war flicks, such as Warlords. That said, maybe it isn't my kind of flick or my tastes have changed as I've aged or it was just the way the world was back then, before the Net, before or at the dawn of massive cable TV. While it did have a good making point here and there, like the girl telling the gyro captain that she can't abandon her home (much easier for a man to do that....and not realize it in women), generally felt rather mediocre to me.
The end music was pretty well done, giving a feeling of closure to the movie, another thing that we often skip or rush through in our modern age.

For how it once was, 7.7.
Just an awesome movie, that and the prior one, Mad Max. I'd say those are the best two of the whole franchise.
