Movie Reviews of A Doll's House
Movie Review: Bloom to Hopkins to Richardson
Summary: 5 Stars
Ibsen's "A Doll's House with the superb acting of Claire Bloom, Anthony Hopkins and Ralph Richardson. Hubby(Hopkins) dominating and authoritarian in his manner commands his wife lead a perfect and errorless existence. One minor transgression on her part and Hubby goes ballistic. Knowing that her live in almost servant status in the household will end with nothing changing, nothing getting better, she bolts the abode to find her identity and Daddy mind the Baby, much to his consternation. Alls well but the Wife's gone ?Movie Review: Acting tour de force!
Summary: 5 Stars
A fantastic adaptation of the stage play with Claire BLoom stealing the show...she is just brilliant and should have won an award for this. The final scene between her and Anthony Hopkins was so hypnotic and magnificently acted that I just yelled:WOW! When it was over. John Gielguld was also very touching in his role.
It is a bit slow to start with but it ends with a punch!
Movie Review: A Doll's House
Summary: 5 Stars
Very excellent film of the play. This earlier version features two very outstanding actors who are both very versatile in their roles. It is a profound story, especially for the setting of time that it is placed. The DVD came in very good condition and was reasonably priced. It was delivered in a timely manner.Movie Review: Worth Showing
Summary: 5 Stars
Anthony Hopkins is wonderful as Torvald capturing both the insecure man and the dominating husband. The film is very close to the text. The director staged more aggression from Torvald in the final scene, but my students all agreed that even that, was true to his character and the integrity of the story.Movie Review: Good without being brilliant...
Summary: 4 Stars
I must say I find Miss Bloom a bit too old and static for the part, it seems she is struggling to fit into the shoes of Nora; the doll-wife-woman who had surrended all responsebilities to the male dominant in her life... But she excells when Nora matures.
True, this was the case for most women over 100 years ago...
I also find Torvald`s objections in the finale, on the not so "evil side..."
I mean Nora abandens three children in search of herself? What kind of a rolemodel is THAT???
Do we live for ourselves or for our commitments? I must say that from the day you have childeren and enter matrimony, you no longer can do whatever pleases, but must face responsebilities.
This is what is known as growing UP.
In the year of 2006 we see that too many people must "realise" themselves and end up lonely because they have escaped nearness, tenderness, closeness and committment to other than themselves...
Hopkins is a bit overweight, but with Dame Evans and Ralph Richardson - excellent....
Miss Bloom was awarded a Special award in Oslo in 2006, an award called "IBSEN`S WOMEN OF THE 20th CENTURY" with Lise Fjelstad(an excellent Nora, c the NRK adaption), Glenda Jackson(Hedda 1975-Academy Award nominee), Liv Ullmann(The Wild Duck), Wenche Foss and Bibi Andersson(amongst others) for her portrayels of Ibsen`s women...
This is a theme never to be closed hehehe
