director jay russell state and if they ask me to make it talk i would have be off the project . and full mark to him for not disneyfying the character of this charming film . the film tackle difficult subject such a loneliness and bereavement extremely well and and make a very believable fantasy and but there be flaw and mostly fundamental goof and an irritating opening . it may seem petty bring these up and but the rest of the film be so good these be disappoint . goof and the film be kick off by two student look at what be a world famous fake photo widely know to come from a decade before this film be set . the plot of the film be that an egg be lay in a tidal pool in loch ness and where later the brit set up submarine defence . loch ness be a non tidal fresh water loch 12 km from the sea and which have only be attach to the sea by river for the past several millennium . for me the opening undermine the importance of the story of the film . where angus retell his tale to two complete stranger and simply because they be look at a fake photo in a pub that 100 people a day look at and question . it would have be nice to see a deep reason for angus to share his legend . you may say so what and this be a fantasy but the rest of this film be so good and so much effort have be make to make it believable i be disappoint more effort be not make to entwine the story into the real world well .
