One of the best films i have seen

Charming and brutal

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I have never heard of this film or anyone involved in it, when I finished it I din't understand why because this film is amazingly done, one of the few that has the honor of calling it a motion picture, a form of art, that is what it is: art. Strating with a cinematography that not anyone dares to use, and in here work with a sense of pure beauty. Then the film edition was one of the things that impressed me the most, it changes of scene so delicate and profound just perfectly to the screenplay. The actors with amazing performances, just when I thought they can't do better, they just overcome my expectations and did it ten times more amazing. This type of screenplay is the one of my favorites, from a story that some people think is boring, for me are the ones where you can take the best of it; starting with something simple, that seemed hopeless, but then with the characters that also lived simple lives, but each one of them had their virtues and ideas to live for, a history behind them. I also loved the reality in the film. The dialogue they used is like gold transformed into words. and then the music that showed tranquility in a place where a lot of negative but not terrible things happened. This are the kind of films that should last forever.If you like classics this one will fill you with joy. I loved every second and minute of it.

Look, there's basically no movie or TV show out there which has universal appeal. I won't pretend that just because I love this movie that everyone will.But for those of us who understand that life is far from perfect... for those of us who understand that the world can be cruel... for those of us who actually think about why we become the persons that we do... for those of us who consistently analyze death and the meaning of life... it's a masterpiece. Nebraska essentially covers many important topics (some listed below) while remaining entertaining in every single scene.1. Personal dreams, wishes and hopes 2. Family and friend relations 3. Alcoholism 4. Our lives' direction and eventual outcome5. Senility and death The scenery is stunning, the casting is perfect and there are lessons to be learned -- what else do you want from a movie? This is probably my favorite film of all time.

This is yet another movie I never heard of that I suddenly discovered on a 14+ hour plane ride from Hong Kong to Dallas. The plot is fairly straightforward and the characters genuine. All of the actors do an excellent job of making you forget they are actors. The small turns and twists keep it engaging without getting too far-fetched. It had me engrossed all the way through the closing credits, and some aspects of it really hit home (Bruce Dern reminded me of my late father in many ways).I doubt this film won any major awards but it should have. It was creative and endearing, and most importantly, a topic many of us can connect to. Make the effort to find this movie, it is touching and worth the time!

Alexander Payne's Nebraska is the story of an elderly man's quest to collect a million dollar prize he's won in the post. Starring Bruce Dern - in a career-best performance - his character, Woody, is first seen trying to walk from Montana to Nebraska when he's stopped on the highway by a police officer. Woody isn't entirely clear of mind, whilst his sons are aloof and his wife, played brilliantly by June Squibb, constantly berates him. But Woody is determined to get his million dollars and endeavours to walk to Nebraska even when his son explains that it's only a mail scam that he's trying to collect. Undeterred, Woody is soon being driven to Nebraska by his son, where the narrative picks up on the conventions of a buddy/road movie, as they encounter numerous situations and characters along the way. In particular, Woody's devious old business partner, played superbly by Stacy Keach, and a leeching family who want their share of Woody's money. At times, Nebraska is reminiscent of Yashujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story, with the elderly characters being misunderstood and unappreciated by their children, until they learn of their lives, loves and a very full existence that came to shape who they are. This is brilliant and affecting story-telling.
