Northfork is a movie about a town that is dying
and being evacuated. This movie
also has a mini story about a little boy and his journey to heaven. It was interesting how the movie
portrays the sweeper crew as “angels.”
In a way they are because they are helping the last few people. Now, the little boy in the movie has a
dream or vision about angels.
These angels are a little strange; however they are angels. When watching this part of the movie, I
kept thinking of the phrase “your life flashes before your eyes before you
die.” In this case the boy puts
the elements of his life within the vision. For example, the toy plane was their mode of transportation. The woman’s name was flower Hercules
after the comic and the flower.
And the strange creature was based on the Father’s cane. Lastly, the theme of transcendence was
important within the film as well.
The plane was the way of the angels and the little boy were getting to
heaven. The other scene that
showed this theme was the coffin on top of the car. The coffin was taken to higher ground, which symbolized
transcendence. Overall, this was a
great movie.
