The Prophet of Lake Erie

I really liked this little film, from the adoring females who fawn over "The Prophet" as he plays his guitar, to the shaky salt piles along Lake Erie as the earthquakes start to become more noticeable. This guy IS adorable, as he believes and trusts his instincts that tell him that he is feeling mild tremors from deep under Lake Erie. Everyone else has an excuse, but this guy is concerned about the devastation that is coming, and the people who will be harmed. Also, he can't believe that he is the only one who is feeling these tremors. It reminded me of the Twilight Zone stories that so often had a person who believed some outlandish thing, only to find out that the outlandish thing was actually the true thing! When the evil corporate types meet in a dark area to talk about their true intentions, I had to laugh. It was really well done because the stark darkness of the scene, illustrated the meaning even if you turned the sound off.

I hope to see more movies like this one.
