[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 355100, member: 33"] [B]A Man Called Otto (2023)[/B] [IMG width="373px"]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNzg3OTEzMTgtYWU0OC00YTI0LWIxOTAtNmRkNTc0Nzg2YWU1XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjY1MTg4Mzc@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg[/IMG] Tom Hanks plays Otto, a curmudgeonly widow who spends much of his time enforcing neighbourhood rules and annoying his neighbours in the process but also has a kind heart which comes to the fore when the situation forces it. He is grieving the loss of his wife and makes several attempts to take his own life but various things happen which prevents him from seeing it through. There are several flashbacks to his early life with his wife and in these scenes Otto is played by Tom Hanks's real life son Truman. There's another Hanks family connection in that Tom's wife, Rita Wilson, sings the closing song of the film. The central theme of the film is love with characters reaching out to one another even when it seemed like they don't really like each other or want to be friends. So although Otto is usually grumpy and annoying he is a central part of the neighbourhood coming together in times of need. It's an old fashioned film with old fashioned values but that's part of it's charm and what makes it so enjoyable. [/QUOTE]
