"Many of you have heard stories about Mr. Bush. But today, I'm told that we're going to hear another kind of story. His."
Get Low (loosely based on actual events from the 1930's) is the story of an aging, reclusive hermit (Robert Duvall) with a dark secret in his past that he's held on to for years and years. The people of the nearby town have countless stories about what kind of a man he is and why he's lived alone for so long. Realizing that his death is probably coming sooner rather than later, the hermit decides to throw a funeral party while he's alive, and attempt to find the courage to tell his story and find forgiveness.
I liked the movie. Duvall was great, as were his co-stars Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, and Lucas Black. Get Low has an understated sense of humor that fits Duvall and Murray like a glove, but at heart, it's a story of guilt and redemption. The sets and costumes really take you back to the time period, and the area in Georgia where the movie was filmed was perfect for the story being told. Great music, too.
I'd recommend Get Low to anyone who's even slightly interested.
