A Thousand Miles Behind

There could have been more side stories to his ride in California. Instead of all that camera time used to watch him sleep on the lawn... But overall the movie was okay.

I had to watch the credits to find out if the main actor was Woody Harrelson or not :D And I had to read IMDB to see if it was shot in USA or Australia :D.

This film is deeply moving and stays with you long after it's over. I admit, it's not what I expected, but I didn't do any research on it before watching it. The plot deals with one man's painful journey through grief, and it quickly drew me into the rawness and emotion of the struggle, sometimes uncomfortably so. It's not light, it's not a romance, and it's not an action movie, but it is brilliantly acted and beautifully shot. More importantly, it left me with a much better understanding of grief and grieving people. All that said, the movie isn't depressing. There's a sense of hope that pervades the film, growing brighter throughout. I REALLY liked this movie!

This movie takes us on a memorable "ride" through one man's tragic grief story. I found myself drawn into his pain; no easy task for most men to admit, or to deal with. No easy answers or clichés-just a subtle, honest picture of Preston's real-life emotion, and unexpected compassion from a stranger. The 1,000 miles will take you through scenery that is both stark and beautiful. This movie is not just for bikers.

Beautiful, heartfelt movie about loss and healing. When his wife and daughter are killed by a drunk driver, Preston completely shuts down. Then, when he discovers someone has left a motorcycle at his back door, he goes on a road trip. Along the way, he mets a fellow camper who helps him handle his grief and helps him along his path to healing. Beautiful scenery and a soulful soundtrack help make this a memorable and touching experience. Highly recommended.

Tells an honest story with authentic emotion. Great acting and amazing photography! Some scene changes were a little choppy in the beginning, but it didn't take away from the overall experience.
