Cinephile No. 569 "Where Have All The Good Men Gone?"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

I've never seen a movie tackle PTSD quite like "Where Have All The Good Men Gone?" Dozens and dozens of movies have attempted to tell this story, but this is the first time I can recall the story being told from the point of view of an estranged child. As the daughter and her half-sister escape an abusive stepfather to search for her long lost father, we are confronted with the damage war can do. We also realize the ongoing pain that can occur if that trauma goes untreated. I won't give away the ending, but the power of a father's unshakable love is on full display in a couple of powerful scenes. For this reason, I recommend doing all that you can to get your hands on the Danish film. 

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
