Review of Shadows in the Sun

The movie is indeed well acted, and there is such a strong emotional theme going on and chemistry between the "old" (Keitel) and the "young" (Jackson) writers. The storyline goes well, the tempo is just fine and it would have been an excellent movie if not for the ridiculous details that had to be inserted just to add some misunderstood credibility for image of Italy in some other parts of the world. Like all the town folks were driving fiat Toplino and Jackson arrived on a BMW Z4 model 2004. Or that there were no young people or kids in the village and there was only one scene where Forlani is talking to anybody else than people tree times her age. Come on, this is Italy! If anybody is that hot as Forlani, Jackson will have very hard time trying to get her attention. But this was tolerable, until the last scene where we see Jackson depart on a steam train! I guess such kind of trains do exist somewhere in the world, but in Italy, home of the "Pendolino" trains that travel 200+ km/h such transportations is long forgotten. I would have given 8 if not for those silly scenes...
