Souvenir of Canada by Expat
After watching this:
And this:
It is pretty obvious that we all must find a way to see this.
I saw this over the holidays and I was really disappointed! The trailers, posted here, are really funny. However, the movie itself was exceptionally dull and did not speak to me about the Canada that I know. It was, IMO, a very masculine version of Canada. Not all Canadians grow up watching hockey or other male sports. Likewise, we don't all go hunting, go in to the bush with our dads on waterplanes, etc.
In spite of all this, I did like the film. It is one of the first movies I've ever seen that attempts to speak to our culture.
