These poems have so many different themes it's hard to find something that relates to them all. My daughter did the film, 'Elizabeth Town' with Orlando Bloom because it was really connected to Skryznecki's 'Postcard' and 'Felix Skryznecki'. They both have the themes of the haunting resonnance of heritage, place of birth and the second generation experience of feeling a yearning for the past and yet feeling a stranger to it - fits really well with 'A Drive in the Country' for the same reasons. A good film for 'Crossing the Red Sea' is 'Stand by Me' with a very young (and still alive!) River Pheonix. You can draw out themes and ideas about the soothing nature of silence and isolation from a troubled present and how this draws out the expression of repressed feelings - nice shots of the four boys dwarfed by a huge landscape and them their ability to find a safe space to just 'be' and reflect safely on their troubled lives. The effect the journey has upon relationships by forming tight bonds of kinship also fits here with 'Crossing. Hmmmm I've heard that the original 'Titanic', the old one, has a lot of images of poor Italian immigrants, bewildered and afraid. I haven't seen it but worth a try. I have always thought that 'Little Miss Sunshine would be a great journey text for many of the same reasons. I'd really consider finding a good ORT and one that you love and then re-thinking your choice of Skryznecki poems to complement - good luck
