The Trip to Bountiful

This was just what I remembered. Very good and in good condition. Thanks

The changing needs of aging

As age creeps up on old folks,the need for independence regains a new priority, while the feelings of young caregivers unwittingly become more insensitive. This movie follows the travel of an elderly woman, with the help of accommodating strangers, to find her way back to the home of her memories.
The Trip to Bountiful.

Emotional Involvement

Very sad, in a way, to view a story involving what we would today term "geriatric abuse". The concept of the nice old lady living in a climate of emotional distress is very depressing, and I was left with the sense that she was resigned to her fate and that things might or might not work out. But I readily give this film 4 stars for the acting, photography, mild suspense and emotional involvement it projects.

The way life used to be....

This movie depicts the way life used to be. Excellent film about an elderly mother wanting to revisit her old home and her determination to get there. What a wonderful actress Geraldine Page was! The other actors were terrific too. The story makes us reflect on our own lives and where we come from. I have seen this movie about 4 times. I just had to have a copy for my own collection. This is not a chick flick! My husband liked it too.

A "richly textured" (Leonard Maltin) and triumphant tale of an elderly woman's journey home, The Trip to Bountiful stars Geraldine Page in "the performance of a lifetime" (Variety) ? and a role that won* her an Academy Award®. "Funny, adventurous, suspenseful?but ultimately uplifting as a demonstration of the human spirit" (Los Angeles Times), The Trip to Bountiful is "perfect on just about every level" (Boxoffice)! Carrie Watts (Page) is an elderly woman with a weak heart ? but of strong determination. Trapped in a tiny apartment under the care of her cowardly son and his shrewish wife, Carrie is determined to escape and return to her girlhood home. Seizing her chance ? and her meager Social Security check ? Carrie sets out on an unforgettable quest to make peace with her past?and the secrets of her heart that draw her ever homeward.
