The Station Agent...

Today, I'd like to write my views about a movie "The Station Agent". (Spoiler Alert!!! If you want to watch movie without knowing anything, jump to paragraph two!!!) The movie starts with a little man Finbar McBride (Peter Dinklage) and his close friend Henry (Paul Benjamin). They run a model train store and Fin assembles model trains back of the store, both Fin and Henry are train enthusiastics. Unfortunately, Henry dies suddenly and he inherits a depot near railroad in Newfoundland, New Jersey. Then, Fin has to move that depot and he starts to live there. Because he is kind of introverted, he does not have many friends. Also, people laugh at him when they see him because he is little. Maybe that is one of the reasons he does not have friends. Anyhow, after he moves to that place, he meets Joe (Bobby Cannavale), he sells coffee and food in front of the depot. Joe has a personality which is totally different from Fin's. He is talkative, amusing etc. After a few days they become friends. Of course, I almost forget that there is Olivia (Patricia Clarkson) who is recently divorced and she escapes from city life, she paints and does many things to get over his son's death. (Not to give too much spoiler) These three suddenly become friends, they share special time together and help each other to get over their own pains and problems.
If you do not like movies reflecting the real features of daily life, importance of friendships, you may not like this movie. However, if you want to know how important real friendships are, how people's behaviour towards you shapes your attitude, how people can be happy without complexity of city life, how physical appearance is not important when you try to know a person, how important if you find your soulmates, you should not let them go, how valuable help of your friends is, how precious the true friendship is...
I think that is enough to describe this amazing movie, I also admit that I'm amazed by the performance of the actors although this movie has a relatively small cast. If you are at home on a rainy fall day, you can watch this movie peacefully when you drink your coffee and fresh smell of rain comes from outside...
