[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8239109, member: 4348"] What may be different with Napoleon Dynamite is it is a semi-biographical movie based upon the life of the writer and director of the movie and his experiences in Idaho. Talking to some individuals from rural Idaho I've actually had the comments that the movie is actually very accurate in some of it's depictions of what life is like in Southeast Idaho. It lacks some of the items and is not quote so over the top, but there is a strong resemblance between how some things happen in the film and life there. I was rather surprised by their statements in that degree. They seemed to think it was more a comedy about life in their state than anything else and loved the movie because of it (those that I talked to, this is anecdotal because obviously this is not everyone from Idaho or even a large number of them from there). (PS: For at least a few of them, they felt it was more a story about Mormon Culture and felt that the main character absolutely represented Mormon's life and culture there more than how we may feel Napoleon represents geeks and nerds, which was also an interesting thing a few of them talked about regarding that movie).
