00:00This movie killed me. It took my heart out of my chest and threw me, threw me into a pit of lava.
00:07I am dead. This is Joel Edgerton from Train Dreams. I'm going to share some things with you.
00:13They say that actors and filmmakers shouldn't read reviews.
00:17I've never cried so much in a movie before. My man really went through it.
00:23Reached into my soul and tore my heart to pieces.
00:26My favourite by far, Manchester by the Tree. If there's an award for Letterboxd Reviews, it goes to that person.
00:33An absolutely beautiful film about the feeling of life slipping away the older you get.
00:37Speaking of Edgerton, I can actually understand the impulse of Bentley wanting to cast Hollywood's most uninteresting actor in the role of a deeply ordinary man.
00:49The casting of Edgerton is akin to covering black mould with a damp towel.
00:54I was not prepared to be emotionally devastated on a Wednesday.
01:00Life, man. Dot, dot, dot. Life.
01:03The filmmaking on display in this movie taps into a core piece of my soul and makes me feel a lot of things I don't know how to express.
01:10Give this all the flowers it deserves and more importantly, savour those special moments in your life as you never know what's around the corner.
01:18A haunting performance that communicates so much through his eyes.
01:21This guy was a paid actor.
01:24I've had the most stressful day with my three-year-old all day long.
01:27But after watching this, I can't wait to do it again with her tomorrow.
01:31Watch Train Dreams on Netflix and read the book in whichever order and I hope you find your own meaning in it.
