Great World of Sound

I don't normally review a film before I finish it - and this one runs almost two hours - but I feel compelled to do so here. Why?

I don't know, exactly, and you probably won't either. "Great World of Sound" is one of those films that captures the imagination without really explaining itself. That, in my humble opinion, is the absolute ESSENCE of art.

It's not a guy film but it's not a chick flick, either. Still, I don't know exactly what it is, except interesting. Very interesting.

The music and performers seem genuine - so, if they're not actually amateur talent, then they are topnotch actors and actresses. So believable!

I think, though, the best and most attractive thing about this hidden gem of a film is the chemistry between the main players -Pat Healy as Martin and Kene Holiday as Clarence - they really engage one another and the audience such that you wish you were on their roadtrip, too! I love characters that can do that!

Of course, John Baker (as Shank) and Robert Longstreet (as Layton) set the mood for them. Both are unknown to me, but I think this cast could do great things - I know Mr. Holiday already has done.

When you watch this film, pay attention. Then write to let me know what you think it is that makes this movie so engrossing!
