Movie Reviews of Wisconsin Death Trip
Movie Review: Misunderstood in the States, Ironically
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never written an Amazon review before, but was just too tempted when I saw the very poor reviews this film has received on this site. I am an American living in England, and I bought this DVD here in the UK. It has fairly good reviews here in England, but I was surprised by the number of narrow minded, prissy reviews it has on the Amazon US site.
I found this film moving, sad, funny, and beautiful to watch. It is extremely well-filmed, and unlike other reviewers here, I think it is also very sensitive considering the subject matter.
This film is a must for REAL history buffs (who aren't afraid to see reality) and for all lovers of....just well-filmed films.
And as for other reviewers pooh-poohing the fact that this has photos of *gasp* DEAD PEOPLE - grow up and get some perspective on this time in history, or don't watch! Post mortem photographs were as common as going to Olan Mills for the family portrait is today - any true history buff will already know this - and those photographs were not so much *private family photographs* as they were on display, proudly, above mantelpieces, for all to see. Post mortem photography was de rigeur in a society where death was much more open and most people died at home.
All in all, I highly recommend this film. No, it's not for everyone, but it is an excellent film for some.
