Movie Reviews of Western Lights
Movie Review: Western Lights
Summary: 5 Stars
"Western Lights" is an amazing and very entertaining movie.
It has restored my confidence in the good in human nature and in the desire in
people to get along with others. It is appropriate that this lesson is taught by a
group of boys.
This is an adventure movie and it documents a sailing trip following in the footsteps
of Christopher Columbus from the Continent to the Americas in 1492.
The trip is undertaken by a group of 12 boys who have prepared themselves well
for the trip. They all have a good knowledge of the Columbus voyage and are
enthusiastic to learn more. They all know the basics of good seamanship - how to
navigate and set a course and how to rig and sail the ship. They all possess other
skills which may prove to be required. With a group of boys this large and all living
close together, you would expect some disagreements but this did not happen.
They all very quickly became good mates. They listened to and respected each
others views and were eager to share with other boys their own personal
knowledge and opinions.
This is an adventure and probably the biggest adventure that they will
experience in their lives. They visited all the ports of call and prominent landmarks
on the way. They took exploration trips on land and sea, visiting at times the
most inaccessible places. They also participated in snorkeling activities.
What a pleasant experience both for the boys and the viewers of this movie. All
parents and their children should be encouraged to view "Western Lights". It is
both entertaining and educational and there is a lot to learn from it about human
behaviour and tolerance.
I believe that this film has been condensed to a two hour running time from a 13
episode documentary made for French television. It may be regarded as a documentary
but it is also a story about individuals. The dialogue is spoken in French and
there are English sub-titles. However, don't let this throw you. It is worth
every cent that I paid for the disc.
The color print has been formatted for full screen presentation.
