my dad be sixty and at the time and and not prone to like many movie . i have recently re watch this and and see why a person who be interested in many aspect of life and would be intrigue by a conversation between two men while something unusual . while several reviewer have mention and the film be not for everyone . i would concur and but give it a chance . wallace shawn be the less traveled and non pretentious friend and while andre discuss his travel to india and poland and scotland and and the many philosophy he have encounter therein . the discussion about daily life and it esoteric meaning and and how these two men interpret their life and be quite interesting . think of it a a brief exposure to a man psyche ( andre ) after he have live and search for mean in his life . also to be appreciate be the conversation between two men and something not often address in film . positive .
