This is a gentle, even sweet, movie of honest folks, farmers and dairymen. Watching the young couple struggle to live up to their ideals of running a dairy, honestly, gave me an entry into a world this city gal could never know. In this rural Americana film, neighbors actually help one another. So, I was devastated when the character played by Art Carney becomes so ill; I was heart broken. But more was in store for me. I was stunned to find myself weeping when the diary cows were driven into the pit! I had never thought of dairy cows as being gentle, and sweet, and doe eyed! And so now, Ron is insulting my religion with the da Vinci code crap. Why, Ron? You were nicer to cattle than to my whole Church: Mother Theresa, JP II, et alia. Mother and JP don't deserve this.
