this movie goes by two titles


If i hadn't recalled the name of the character Ernest Borgnine was playing, i wouldn't have found this movie on imdb, usually when a movie has two titles, it says "AKA..", but not on this one! it's nuts how the story reminds alote of "The Straight Story" (1999), a man travelling on a lawn mower, who goes to visit his ill brother before he dies. at first, i thought they had copyd "the straight story", but then it struck me that the movies are from around the same time. i guessed that maybe they are based on the same book, or real life story. but this movie takes a whole diffrent turn.
check this out, in the movie, a guy rents the movie "dirty dozen"...... get it? get it? Ernest Borgnine was one of the stars in that movie!


i wish i had the heart of a warrior,
always ready to fight,
that i had sheild of steel, like a sword carrying knight,
but one little set back, and i'm on the ground,
too hard to get back, and my hand feel like a hundred pound,
i can't move my bones,
i can't stand on my own,
if i was trapped in a deep well,
would you listen to me yell,
if i lost track in the snow,
would you tell me where to go,
sometimes i'd like to escape, i would build a ladder to the moon,
i'd climb up there, and noone would have to be bothered by this fool,
i'm like a ghost, a stranger, a drifter, a man outside and lawless,
if i had the heart of a warrior, i'd fight myself out of this darkness.
