You don't seriously want to know this out of context while the film is still available to buy (VHS only, so far). I would send for the thing and watch it all at once. You won't be sorry. I do hope the DVD will be released soon. Please?
shareThe two return to the valley where Patrick grew up, and Patrick croaks soon after. Shawn buries him and heads north, the end.
share<<< It's a lot more emotional then that. But that's basicly it.
It's a great film. Im glad I have it on DVD in Widescreen. Looks Great.
Oh, I'm sorry. The crotchety old bastard finally shows that he has a heart before he joins Shawn's parents in the great beyond. Nice movie. I'm surprised we didn't see Shawn killed by wild animals right after this to add to the grimness.

Hey, he probably did. He had a long trip. And there where wild dogs and evil animals. And high cliffs.
He probably developed terminal cancer on the trek, that would be apropos.
sharelol yeh that fits with the film =D
shareIt absolutely fits this grim little flick.
shareGrim?? Monumental in the style of 'Walkabout.' No giggles. Foley with terminal cancer, the recently orphaned kid at his mercy. At this point no huggsies or kissies. Foley has to teach him the only way he knows, the hard way. Remember Shaun can't even talk as he's traumitized and is about to be dogfood. In the end Foley is successful in dying and the kid has the tools to escape and survive. Wonderful movie 10/10. A triumph. Ricky's second and Holden's second to last.
My only beef was Rick's Long Island accent with his UCLA sweatshirt.
My point is that this is supposed to be a family film, but only succeeds in being grim and depressing.
I'm happiest...in the saddle.
"My only beef was Rick's Long Island accent with his UCLA sweatshirt."
Is it possible that the Daleys were originally from New York?

Right. This is one of those movies that works a lot more on sentiment than plot.
