*Spoiler/plot- Johnny Berlin, 2005. The day to day story and thoughts of a modern day railway porter.
*Special Stars- Johnny HYms *Theme- Physical labor dignifies the individual.
*Trivia/location/goofs- Documentary. Shot in rail lines and stations of Washington, Oregon, and California traveling North to South. There is a sequel film to this one involving New York City.
*Emotion- While I found the subject matter relating to our railways interesting, the presentation of the one main character to be uninteresting and then boring. Little was done to make this 'a day in the life' type of presentation appealing to watch for the length of this film. It could have been shorter since the work and personality of Johnny 'Berlin' had a limited shelf-life on film. The film was initially interesting and the third act was too slow paced with a film ending that leaves you 'flat'. A disappointing film dud that could have had such promise with some more on-screen production imagination and subtle better camera work.
