I don't understand how more people haven't seen this film, it is long but it is truly great.
Jan Troell evokes the hardships and struggles of the emigrants, as well as their passionate but almost desperate yearning for a better life in America.
An odd tapestry of a film, but undeniably great.
One can clearly see the film's influence on Andrei Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev - they are both of the same vein, in speaking.
I'm surprised at how little people have picked up on obvious religious and evolutionary symbolism, as well as the allegory of death, rebirth, and depression.
The plot is intended to be simple and "hokey" so that these stand through.

Movie comment on Gravity

I have never truly understood the complaint that the film has "terrible dialogue".Not every film has to be dense and wittingly written like All About Eve, for example.
People don't actually talk like that in real-life, and if there is one thing that Gravity strived for and did beautifully it was realism.
