Review of Last Train Home (2009) by Ethan L — 27 Sep 2011
Last Train Home is one insightful trip that regards the hardships and realities of life. Nothing fancy or fantasy-ish in it, just plain reality. The thing I loved about this documentary is that it is a very accurate representation of a family struggling financially, a daughter being a rebel, and (what I loved most) the message that not everyday of the year counts.
At some parts of the documentary, they were doing almost nothing. It's just like the days where we watch think about the things that we like or need but do nothing back slack and try to relax. Another that offers much interest in the movie is the distance between Qin and her parents.
Her parents want Qin to have the good life they've never had but Qin, as a teenager, wants to enjoy life and wished to have enjoyed it before with her parents, who are now people she believes she doesn't know.
The thing about adults are they forgot how it was to be young, and that's clearly indicated in the movie. Two thumbs up for the great presentation. And of course, who can forget the part where Qin had a headed argument with his father? Every bit of it was heart breaking.
Last Train Home is a must watch; a heart breaker but at the same time a refresher.
