William Hurt plays Henning Hale Orviston, or "H2O," the father of the main character, Gus. I find it interesting that William Hurt once again plays the snooty father of a young man who flees into nature to seek meaning. I'm a big fan of Into the Wild. H2O smokes a cob. ...maybe an MM Legend?
Dallas Roberts plays the philosophical friend of Gus, named Titus, who smokes a pipe that I don't recognize. Truth is, I wouldn't recognize many pipes on sight because I'm pretty new to the hobby. If you watch the movie and recognize the pipe, I would like to know what it is.
The movie is based on a novel by David James Duncan, which I will likely pick up.
And yes, Amber Heard is indeed purty. Her character in this movie, Eddie, is great.
On another note, the musical score for this movie is excellent, in my humble opinion.
Cheers,
Bill
