In God's Hands (1998)
meaning of movie and possible small continuity goof
Beautiful photography of Bali and Hawaii. Story of obsession. What is life about... what is the meaning of our existence? what takes precedence - relationships or achievements? Anyone who is into extreme sports, extreme career or social change efforts can relate to this movie.
Success in one area can mean loss in other areas. Relationships take time as do great achievements. Which horse do you want to ride?
Protagonist takes a small boat to Mexican island and he throws his waterproof backpack into the water and then continuity seems off as he paddles away without his stuff. Maybe he meant to leave it there.
Three Fugitives (1989)
easy to watch, easy to turn off
nice date movie, romantic and a bit of action. Nolte is a confident alter-protagonist but if you are having a really good time you wont miss anything if your attention wanders elsewhere. Short should have been given more comedy bits but the movie moves along nicely - great character actors. Nolte plays the 'good buy' against all of his ex-con instincts. The scene stealer is the little girl - a daughter of Martin Short.
The most fun is watching to see how the bumbler Short and the hardened ex-con, Nolte get into problems and then have to get out of their problems - usually with the police and usually with the possibility of many years in jail if they fail to 'get away.'
