Review of The Straight Story (1999) by Erden C — 20 Feb 2008

So full of life."When my kids were real little I used to play a game with them. I'd give each one of them a stick and I'd say, 'You break that.' Of course they could real easy. Then I'd say, 'Tie them sticks in a bundle and try to break that.

' Of course, they couldn't. Then I'd say, 'That bundle...that's family."--Alvin Straight (Richard Farnsworth) to a runaway girl.
