Veturimiehet heiluttaa (1992)
Muisto lapsuudesta
This is hugely underrated movie. Although my memories come with golden edges, this one i saw all the way back when i was approximately ten years of age, and now about 16 years later, i saw it again. So this might not be the most objective review but anyway. This movie just brings forth so many memories and with that a lot of feelings. Cant find anything negative to say even tho i'am a sound designer and thus know something about making a movie. But Veturimiehet heiluttaa is almost flawless with all its minor flaws that create the unique feel and atmosphere to it. Its sad and a bit melancholic but yet gives hope and strength, makes you think about life. Plus i pretty much identify myself as Hapa. Thats something. Wish i could have those days back. I remember, it was a sunny day and my mom was preparing a dinner. Today just an hour ago while i was watching, just for brief moment, i could almost pick up the scent coming from the kitchen.

Dear god...WHY?
Im speechless...i might be slightly over reacting, but i was just filled with agony and despair and i need to get this out. Let me see here, The MacManus brothers rock, yes ill give you that, BUT why does the humor have to be so stupid. There are some rare fun points, but its as if they couldn't come up with anything original. Its purely that feeling that you get out of a movie which has been done only to get it done fast so you could proceed into another project. There's nothing evolving, nothing comical with or without the addition of great genuine acting, that just gets you laughing your A#¤" off. Cant put this into words properly enough. Well that was not the worst. Actually the acting was the thing that almost made me cry. Supporting actors were something horrible. Julie Benz was lovely but anything other, was raw diamonds coming out of your pipe. Anyone older than 20 years old, who likes movies from the top 250, I bet, wont find this too amusing. Nothing compared to the first part. Two stars.
