Movie Reviews of Western Lights
Movie Review: Western Lights
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent portrayal of a group of young French boys who travel by way of a small schooner along the general route believed taken by Christopher Columbus when he made his maiden voyage to the New World. The film features the boys as they work aboard the sailing vessel, explore, & generally have fun during their expedition.
This movie is well worth the money.
Summary of Western Lights
Set sail with a dozen sunbronzed boys on a field-trip through history in this fascinating documentary originally produced for French television. This home video version is culled from all thirteen episodes and features a real-life cast of handsome young adventurers on board the sailing ship Karrek Ven. The boys are students from an experimental school and the assignment is to follow the trail of Christopher Columbus on his journey to the New World. The emphasis is definitely on education, but along the way there's plenty of time for fun, with the usual teen high jinks plus whale watching, snorkeling and good old fashioned skinny dipping. WESTERN LIGHTS combines the excitement of an ocean adventure with a new approach to learning and the result is a unique and entertaining piece of cinema verite suitable for the kid in all of us. Highly Recommended!
