There are not enough words to describe how much I loved these short films! Harvey is a poor Polish boy with Tourette's syndrome, after the death of his parents and Hitler's arrival he moves to Australia. After several adventures/misadventures he meets the woman of his dreams, gets married and has a child. With a plate in his head that acts as a magnet and minimal formal education Harvie is an odd duck that you cannot help but root for. Included are Cousin, Brother and Uncle. These are just a couple of minutes long each and each is a heartbreaking look at people who do not actually fit in. Dealing with issues that would break most people, the characters try to make the best of a bad situation but as in life this is not always possible. I don't want to give any more away but enough to say that you should get this - and that is a "fakt"!Read full review
Outstanding DVD! The story itself is a very human one. It's full of humour and drama but, most importantly, an expression of the constant struggle of 'seizing the day' despite the challenges and difficulties. The best way to watch this DVD is to start with the shorts in the Special section. Beginning with the one-minute short then going on to 'Uncle', 'Cousin' & 'Brother'. Then, watch the 'main feature'. It's the best way to savour the whole DVD experience.
God is better than football, God is better than beer... my children learned it and now they sing it all the time, we learned the real meaning of CARPE DIEM and that there is so much more to life than a degree from Harvard or collecting money for greed. The freedom from corporate world and the helping others(even if is just the animals that you could be eating), will give you a "high" on Life that no other source could achive ... well this is including our Higher Power of course! ... Cause God is there all the year.
Extraordinary animation about the unlucky Harvie and his battles with Tourette's, becoming magnetic, cancer, and finally, dementia. In between, he somehow finds time for love, mischief and fatherhood. Adam Elliott perfectly juggles the bitter and the sweet to produce a beautifully written, beautifully executed heartwarmer. I can't recommend this enough.
I came across this movie by chance. I rented it and had to own my own copy. Even my teenage kids loved it and we all laughed until our sides hurt. It is a story of everything sad hat can happen to a person told in a funny and hopeful way. Dont miss it...
With a funny twist to terrible events ,this dark comedy of this poor guy makes you see how bad things could be ,and maybe your own problems aren't so bad. Hard not to like Harvey.
This was a very good film. I was full of humor and was a delight to watch. I recommend every one to watch it.
