Goodbye Solo(2009)- User Reviews

"Wait... Did I miss something? What?"

I actually said this outloud to myself once the credits started rolling in. Honestly, I was left both confused and disappointed.

And then I thought about it. What was the purpose of this film? If it has no plot, almost no story, no drama, no action, mediocre acting and the viewer is only left with unanswered questions. If it doesn't have any of that, its either a really crappy film or it is a great film with a hidden moral. A deeper meaning. A message. After long thinking I came out with this: character. How do you live your life? Do you live it to the fullest like Solo, or do you dread on it like William. This movie is about change and influence of one to another. It is about development and progression in life.

Overall, I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a slow paced, message packed, hidden inspirational movie. If you're looking for action or excitement, this isn't the movie for you. It kind of reminds me of the movie Grand Torino with Clint Eastwood, minus the action. Or maybe a Peaceful Warrior. Anyway, go watch if you're into this type of movie. Good luck!
