Title: Sweet Film - and a slice of American History
Review: On my mother's side of the family, all 4 of my maternal great-grandparents wereNorwegian. All of them tried homesteading/farming in North Dakota AND Albertabefore moving to the Pacific Northwest to live in a house, on a city lot, and work for wages."Banking and farming don't mix" - my relatives who are still out there on theGreat Plains farming live by this bit of folk wisdom - and have for over a hundred years.The romance in this movie may - or may not - be typical. But when I chase the history of those who emigrated from Norway, I don't know if you could even describe "typical". Chance played a huge role in who met whom, who married whom and settled where ever.These folks sailed away from Norway ,or Germany, or....into an unknown and uncertain future.I believe this movie PERFECTLY captures the role played by chance, circumstance,character, and HARD WORK in settling the West.Ross Kane
