I want to keep this simple.
Prince Avalanche is a 2013 movie starring Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch.
Why you might be interested in watching Prince Avalanche:
-Interested in watching a film that showcases the life of a simple man, in a simple environment, that explains the difference between being "lonely" and "alone" to a young teenager that just wants to have sex with girls and party?
-The colors are crisp. It's not all too often that colors in a movie pop out as much this.
-It has the perfect amount of silence, letting the scenery talk. It reminded me of Cast Away and who doesn't love that movie?
-Paul Rudd explores a different side of his acting abilities. Of course he still weaves in some of classic Rudd, but within the character's restriction.
-I know I said the word "simple" already but that's the best word to use to describe many elements to the movie. Like the plot (not a whole lot happens and it's wonderful). And how many actors get screen time.
Things that could have been different:
-Only one thing bothered me, and that was how much Emile's character needed to convey the polar opposite teenage archetype attitudes, compared to the older Rudd character. This is not something major, and only came to my attention once or twice during the film.
-The old man. He was either a bad actor or I simply didn't get his character.
The move is on Netflix right now and it's worth your time.
