it's no secret that i do not like films that make me cry
but the odd life of timothy green is such
a spectacular film that i'm willing to bear my emotions
to watch this film i will happily watch it again
it is gorgeous one of the things i love about this before i get in with the
narrative itself is the poster the poster is so intriguing and so
eye-catching and really i'd love to have that on my
wall it's a beautiful poster so the description from imdb of this
film that was released in 2012 is as follows a childless couple bury a
box in their backyard containing all of their wishes for an infant
soon a child is born though timothy green is not all that he appears
there won't be any spoilers in this video
so if you want to know if it's worth watching absolutely
please feel free to listen if you haven't seen it i will not spoil
anything so timothy green is born out of the
earth and he is supposed to embody all of
these wishes that this childless couple would like from a child
of their own and he is really the perfect child he
you know he's kind he's caring he's talented he's really a wonderful child
and such a pleasure to watch on screen he's played by
cj adams who does a fantastic job um and his parents are played by jennifer
garner and joel egerson uh well rather the parents he adopts i
guess he adopts those parents when he grows out of the earth and it's all
about their journey together of them finding this child wondering where he
came from and then you know feeling overwhelmed at his
amazing presence but it's not it doesn't feel entirely
normal because he has leaves stuck to his skin growing out of
his skin and they can't be removed not by
scissors or anything and they begin to fall off as this boy's
journey progresses and the film's all about finding the
deeper meaning and to be honest i don't think what
they're trying to do with this film is particularly clear at all i can't
really say too much i apologize if you heard that
motorbike outside hopefully not i can't say too much about what i mean
by that because i'd have to spoil it by saying what happened at the end and
kind of what i thought that meant but i will say that
the ending from me actually
didn't really work very well it was emotional i
cried i got very upset it was beautiful to watch
visually a wonderful moment really immersive
but from a narrative perspective it felt kind of flat and like it was almost
given the wrong message i don't know if that's just me maybe i'm
reading too much into it and trying to find things there that
shouldn't really be there but putting that aside the rest of the
film was beautiful it's visually so lovely it is very
emotional it will tug at your heartstrings
obviously the titular character here is driving this narrative timothy green is
a wonderful character he's a lovely little boy and he brings
so much to this film that he just makes it
wonderful to watch if you haven't seen it definitely do watch it you will not
regret it but as i said it it can be a little bit
emotional so do let me know what you think of it
if you cried good because i feel like that's the
film's intention is meant to make you evaluate things and target your
heartstrings and make you feel all of these different emotions that i hate
feeling but let me know what you think of the ending don't spoil it if you're
going to leave it in a comment but feel free to message me privately and let me
know if you agree that the ending was confusing not confusing in the sense of
what happened but confusing in the type of message they were trying
to relay because i don't think it was the best
outcome but that's just just me let me know what you
think if you haven't seen it definitely do you will not regret it
