Replying to Faction's This Is Home. Thoughts?
I was lucky enough to go to the premiere of Faction's new movie This is Home which essentially gives the stories of the Faction's athletes. My honest thoughts: It was the best ski movie (at least freeski movie) I've ever seen. The scenes in the pow was just crazy, the urban was insane and Duncan Adams' smile never hurts. Personally all you need for a ski movie, pow, park, urban and to finish it off a classic-Faction verbier finish with the crew.
What put me down though is that they didn't have a Candide segment for the movie. The latter appears in one scene (pretty great scene, don't get me wrong, probably my favorite in the movie, because it's like passing the mantle down to Henry), but he doesn't have his own segment where he talks about him. As the flagship athlete, I don't really understand why. And, Candide being favorite skier, a true legend, it really made me kind of disappointed. Loved the movie, don't get me wrong, but at the end I asked myself "and Candide?".
To all who have seen the movie, what are your thoughts? Did you like it, hate it? Were you also dissapointed Candide wasn't a important part of the movie?
