Planes, Trains and Automobiles
For some reason Planes, Trains and Automobiles is on Laff right now. Usually it is a seasonal thing. I do have it recorded and watch every Thanksgiving. I just love this movie. Candy and Martin performed brilliantly
For some reason I decided to tune in and watch the over the air broadcast tonight and got to thinking how much you need to separate yourself from reality in order to make the movie fun.
First there is the fact they are in New York and get routed to Wichita because of weather? So many other choices between NYC and Chicago.
OK so they finally get themselves to St. Louis where they rent a car. But before the fire seems like they are driving for several hours at least. Evidence by the fact they changed drivers 2-3 times. It is only 4 hours to Chicago. Why did it take so long? OK, they get slowed down by the fire but at least it seems like they were driving a number of hours before the fire. Unless maybe Del was driving the "wrong way" for a number of hours.
But I guess if everything made sense it would not be the fun movie that it is. ;)
