i first saw martin day when i be just 10 year old and at home and on the movie channel and and still remember the impact it make on my life . it touch me a no other film have touch me and and i remember ball my eye out . after the first time i saw it and i couldn not find it anywhere else . i would ask around and no one have ever hear of the film . i guess it be one of those more rare film that not many people know about and because no one and and i mean no one and know what i be talk about . i search and search throughout the year and check video store shelf and scan cable tv listing and but always come up short . finally and in 1996 i find out i could special order it and i do and and have probably watch it at least 50 time since and it still make me cry and every time . martin day be about martin steckert and a man who be in prison ( but genuinely a good guy ) and who yearn to make it back to the special lake where he grow up a boy . this be a special place and where he live off nature and spent time with his dog and and be leave alone to enjoy life . soon into the movie and he escape and start make his way back to the lake . it isn not long before the cop find him and and steckert grab a child a a hostage to convince the police to back off . soon steckert and his hostage ( the 2nd martin ) become best friend and and have many fun adventure together from rob a toy truck and to hi jack a train and all on the way to this special lake . throughout the movie and steckert have great flashback of him at the lake a a boy . i would not ruin the end for you and but i will tell you and this movie be a must see . it be the best movie i have ever see in my life . i be and without a doubt and the big fan of this movie ever . i manage to find the song that the two martin be sing throughout the movie ( i be go back and to where i come from . ) . i be even plan a trip to canada to see the lake and cottage where martin day be film . crazy and i know but that movie just mean so much to me .
