i love the movie northfork . i know nothing about the movie before watch it . therefore and i have no outside influence or information to guide me in what i be see unfold on the screen . in retrospect i would advise anyone interested in the movie to watch it if for no other reason than the quality actor who appear in it . do not read anything about the plot and story line and or evaluation of the movie . in fact stop reading anything far in my comment although i believe they be general and would not spoil the movie for you and i do not want to diminish the value of the movie to you . find your own path of mean in this film or it be diminish in it potential . in general and i find the 3 benign stranger in northfolk puzzling . a the movie unfolds and they could qualify a three entertain escapee from a mental hospital or and the dream and hallucination of a sick and feverish young boy and or three angel send to find the lost angel . the sick and perhaps die boy work to convince the three stranger to abandon the search for the lose angel and become his guardian ( mother and father ) and and take him safely far away from northfork ( no less than 1000 mile ) . he even declare that he be the lost angel to try to manipulate them all to be his guardian . only one of the three responds to the boy on a positive basis . the other two have no real enthusiasm or passion for this involvement . the priest who be nurse the sick boy demonstrate a depth of care for people and a deep conviction toward his faith . he transcend the desolation and emptiness of northfork and it people while he be the light of goodness and hope to both northfork and to the movie viewer . near the climax of the movie and the boy and new guardian journey over land to a field where a plane wait . they board to find the other two stranger also on the plane while in fact one be the pilot . the engines start and the plane take off . who be the 3 stranger . if only one stranger be interested in help the boy why be all three on the plane . where be the plane go . do the other two find the lost angel . be there a lost angel and if so who be it . who be the six men dress like undertaker . if all of this be just the sick boy feverish dream and how do one of the 3 stranger end up reach out to help one of the men dress like an undertaker when he jump and hit his head ( neither the boy or stranger have contact with these men ) . one or two sentence write under the title tell people what this movie be about be a tragic mistake ( this be not a spoiler and it statement about advertise only ) . so if you haven not see the movie and northfork and the question above show only a few of the interesting and fun fork in the road of thought when you view the film northfork . if you read the advertising summary of the plot of the movie before you watch it previously and maybe you ought to look at some of the question above and watch it again . i know i will . terry .
