I think every major character is a 'Local Hero' in this film, that's the point. Victor is a local hero, welcomed as such; Gordan is a local hero in getting the brilliant deal for the townsfolk; Danny is a local hero for saving the environment; Marina is too for holding the dream in her soul; Ben is because he is the custodian of the bay; Mack is for his personal redemption and of course Happer is for have the means to make their dreams come true. I hope Mack went back. *g*

@cfwmoxie Yup, I saw it the cinema, taped it from the television, got a VHS version, finally found a DVD, bought the album, then the CD and now have it on my MP3. The music, evokes the movie.

When I took some Fil Studies classes in college, this film was one of our most prominent discussions points.At first I didn't like it but over time that changed. It was quaint.

@cfwmoxie I totally agree m8. I just saw The Tree of Life and couldn't help but think it was a pretentious version of Local Hero without the heart and soul of this film.
