A Great Movie!!
This movie is about what we are All capable of.
Though rarely do we manage to find someone who's achieved even a fraction of our Potential.
John Travolta is simply superb as the small village mechanic.
He's the regular jock who keeps his life simple and tries unsuccessfully to sidle upto the woman of his dreams.
Lurching drunk and returning home from his 30th birthday party through the empty streets of the town, he suddenly looks up into the sky and sees a bright star coming towards him. As it hits him he collapses onto the road....
As the days pass by he starts developing a taste for books and ideas. He starts experimenting on his home garden. He develops some kinds of powers...
Robert Duvall as 'Doc' and Forrest Whitaker as his friend fit the bill to the T.
This film talks about 'What Everyone of us Can be'.
Some of the quotes from the movie are simply too good.
Watch it!!
