Title: Touch of Fate -- Going Back to the Basics of Moviemaking
Product review: In an era when US movie screens are increasingly dominated by male-targeted flicks featuring explosions, violence, and special effects, it is a pleasure to see a US film that focuses on the "traditional" basics of film-making: dialogue and character development. This is not a big-budget movie, so don't expect to see lush million-dollar sets and aerial camera tracking shots. However, you may find yourself being moved emotionally by the story of two late thirty-something-year olds whose lives cross paths during a late-night traffic accident. A woman from New York City has come to a small town in North Carolina hoping to join her fiancée, and a stressed-out businessman from Los Angeles has come to visit his elderly mother. After the accident, they get to know each other. As you learn about their family and personal struggles and aspirations, you become engaged in their lives.
