What is the plot? Any boxing at all?
The one review here is clearly a sell out, so I quit reading after a few words.
I hope someone honest will reply to me.
Tks.
It's not about boxing! Boxing Day is recognized as a legal holiday observed the first weekday after Christmas in parts of the Commonwealth of Nations. People fill a box with small gifts & give it to those in need.
The film itself is about a greedy property hound (Huston) on a mission to survey some foreclosed properties he can make a profit on. His hired driver is a little nuts, but a compassionate man just the same.
The plot is about the interactions of these two totally opposite individuals, what happens during their road trip/properties tour, and an ultimate sacrifice by one of the individuals.
Slow-paced, but interesting just the same. If you like the other Rose/Huston Tolstoy adaptation films, you'll like this one :)
Honest enough?
" And my hopes are dying while, on dreams relying,I am spelled by art..."
"People fill a box with small gifts & give it to those in need."
And all English houses have thatched roofs and people speak with Cockney accents.
Do leave it out. That was centuries ago and nobody knows the true reason for it anyway. Boxing Day is a secular holiday which is all about shopping and sport, and that's it.
Welcome to the twenty-first century.
Gotcha, lol. Nice to meet a fellow cynic on secular holidays ;) So, have you seen Boxing Day yet?
" And my hopes are dying while, on dreams relying,I am spelled by art..."
Never was a fan of Tolstoy. I had to study him 45 years or so ago and that was enough for me, like many of the Russian authors.
What's cynical about secular holidays? It's meaningless to me anyway, being an atheist, so it was just another holiday.

We couldn't afford a box in my day.
Marlon, Claudia and Dimby the cats 1989-2005, 2007 and 2010.
We had a box. Didn't have a lid though, and I think a cat had had kittens in it before our tenancy started. Still, mustn't grumble. Some people just had a hole in 't middle of 't road.
