You Don't Need To Know The Radio Show To Appreciate The Movie

No shocking twists, no passionate dramas, just endless conversations in the backstage of a live radio show that's lasted for 30 years. And of course, all those beautiful songs, the ones that wet your eyes and the ones that crack you up. All these presented to you as our everyday life happens, in an atmosphere of nostalgia, by one of the greatest directors ever, and by an almost impossible cast. Meryl Streep is simply amazing -- no wonder Robert Altman said she was "25% above anyone else ". Even Lindsay Lohan's performance is quite decent.

    Altman, who has always been biased in taste, has made such a tranquil posthumous work, it seems that he has his own arrangements... I don't like this work very much, but I just hope that when I hear country music in the future, someone will think of his old man.

A Prairie Home Companion quotes

  • Garrison Keillor: That's our show. Remember to keep your feet on the ground, your hopes up high, pray for rain, keep the humor dry. And eat those Powdermilk Biscuits. Thank you, everybody.

  • Guy Noir: [singing] So gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Oh, time is still a-flying, This same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow - Will be dying.
