Movie Reviews of A Very Long Engagement
Movie Review: amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
i love french movies. this movie is better than the notebook. i say this because it's kind of similar to the notebook, only this one is french but even more amazing and romantic. where as, mathilde never gives up on her love manech, in the notebook that other girl (rachel macadams? or however you spell it) does and finds some other guy. in this movie you see how they fall in love when they were kids in the movie. it's so cute. i love it. it made me cry so many times at first watching it. i still do every so often hahaha. its just so romantic, funny, cute, amazing...the scenery is beautiful too. and i LOVE gaspard ulliel :]...he's the greatest actor, especially in this movie. nothing i can say in any of his movies are bad acting. i just loved this movie. audrey in the movie was really great too. people say she's a bad actress, but i don't think so. i think she played this part really well.Movie Review: For those who would rather see an English version
Summary: 5 Stars
An English version would most likely be of inferior quality over the original. We know the debacle of "Just Visiting", a movie which lost all the attraction and humor of the original "Les Visiteurs". American audiences need to give subtitled movies more credit, they get the opportunity to come as close to the intended original as they possibly can. Understanding French, I was deeply moved by the narrative which reads like poetry from beginning to end. Having an English version of this movie would probably negate all that in favor of action over script, think "Mission Impossible".
This movie isn't about loud bangs. The story of Matilde is a voyage inside her head as she goes through a rollercoaster of hope and disappointment. We can't help but feel for her, and that's why I give this movie a 5 star among other (visual) reasons. It achieves what it intended to do.
Movie Review: Suspenseful Love Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie. I wanted to see it in the theater and I'm sorry that I missed the chance. It was very good, the story kept winding and winding....it was a long movie but I did enjoy the whole thing. It even held my husband's interest, despite his being disinterested in the beginning. The country scenery was beautiful and peaceful, and I also loved the ocean scenes as well. The war scenes in this movie were very dreary and probably very realistic. You can't help but root for Mathilde, and feel terrible for her fiance. Definitely plan to spend a long time in front of the tv- we had to turn it off about halfway through because it was late and we had to work the next day- but neither of us could sleep! We got up and finished the movie and really enjoyed it.Movie Review: para fanaticos de la guerra y el amor
Summary: 5 Stars
esta pelicula es exelente , sobre todo porque nos ilustra un poco de lo que fue la primera guerra mundial y realmente es dificil encontrar material de este periodo de la historia ,por lo general encontramos muchas peliculas de la segunda guerra pero no de la primera,si bien la pelicula no es enteramente una histora belica si tiene bastante accion . mas alla de esto la historia es buena y realmente quedas intrigado conforme se va desarrollamdo la trama, para no tirar mas rollo recomiendo esta pelicula para tenerla dentro de tu coleccion .... le doy 5 estrellas. a most have picture¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡.Movie Review: MMM - Manech aime Mathilde - Manech loves Mathilde
Summary: 5 Stars
Movie is set in France near the end of WWI. Mathilde, a young woman who contracted polio at young age, sets out to find her childhood sweetheart and fiancé - most believe that he is killed in action while she refuses to believe so and she sets out to investigate. Her fiancé was one of five wounded French soldiers who were heartlessly abandoned by their own troops and left to die in the fields between the French and German armies. Spectacular cinematography and storytelling which shifts scenes from the past to the present - from the horrors of war in deadly trenches and battlefields - to the beauty of young love, passion and romance - to picturesque scenes in fields, cemeteries and villages in France. Terrific movie.
