Episode 49 – What We Did on Our Holiday
Some film trivia: Sir Billy Connolly was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and early prostate cancer shortly before he was due to start work on this movie, but went ahead without mentioning his condition to anybody. Source: IMDB.com
Today we are talking about the poignant tale of three grandchildren who follow their grandfather’s wishes to give him a Viking funeral. And the aftermath from the adults dealing with the loss. David Tennant stars along side Rosamund Pike and the grandfather portrayed by the hilarious Scottish son, Billy Connolly. This 2015 film is a sweet film that we think you will enjoy.
Gordy McLeod: “The truth is, every human being on this planet is ridiculous in their own way. So we shouldn’t judge, we shouldn’t fight, because in the end… in the end, none of it matters. None of the stuff.”
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The beautiful Scottish Highlands
- The cheeky but smart kids
- A sweet tale
- Family dynamics
