The Cracker Man (1999)

March 29th, 2008

The Cracker Man was a 1 hour movie that was directed by award winning Rudy Gaines. The film was released in 1999 and recorded in Alabama. I am not sure exactly where in Alabama the filming took place though. The movie however won the Best Feature Film for Rudy Gaines and Crystal Heart Award for Bruce Kuerten and John DiJulio the writers of the film. The cast of the film is rather unknown but they still perform some acceptable acting skills. The movie also features many beautiful scenes from Alabama where toy get to see a beautiful nature and a stunning landscape.

The actors in the movie are mostly amateurs from Alabama something which is actually cool since the movie is filmed only on Alabama’s earth. The story is about a lonely girl which hires a firecracker salesman on her great-grandfather’s 100th birthday. Romance starts to grow between the young girl and the salesman. Her great grand dad is getting older and she start to realize that he will die very soon. The movie is funny, sad and dramatic in the same time and should be worth 60 minutes of your time, especially if you come from Alabama.
