Movie Reviews of Born Free
Movie Review: A Really heartwarming tail (no pun intended!)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies. I first saw it as a child, and recently ordered the DVD version of the movie from Amazon.com. The movie brought back alot of memories, and I believe it has lost little impact from the time it was originally released in the mid-1960s. The story is a great one, the scsnerey in the movie is beautiful, and the acting is very good. The performance of the lioness in the film is spectacular.What I find particularly pleasing, in comparison with the movies of today, is the absence of human-on-human violence, sex, car chases, explosions, special effects, etc. This movie stands alone on its own merit - the power of the storyline and the heartwarming, though sad, story of the lioness named Elsa. People of all ages and backgrounds who have a great appreciation for nature and life will definitely enjoy this movie.
Movie Review: movie review
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a movie that I had seen with my mother years ago, and that I had never seen and always wanted to..it was absolutely awesome, and affected both my wife and myself profoundly. This is a timeless movie that will always have the power to move people in ways that will reach far into the soul. I ended up doing quite a bit of research into animal rights organizations, and also ordered the movie Christian 'the lion at Worlds End' another movie involving Virgina McKenna and Bill Travers, although more peripherally than Born Free, and more about the two men that 'adopted' Christian after buying him in Harrods and then wanted to return him to the wild and enlisted the Travers couples' help. Also an incredible true story and we were very glad that the money spent on both movies goes towards helping these wonderful animals.Movie Review: Excellent remastering of 2003 DVD release
Summary: 5 Stars
This review pertains to the March 2003 DVD release of "Born Free". The picture and sound are fantastic! This issue presents a remastering of this relatively old film--and it looks brand new! The picture is sharp and the colors are rich and accurate. The format is anamorphic widescreen, so it looks great on a large screen TV. I viewed this movie on a 46-inch Samsung high defintion LCD TV, played on a Toshiba 1080p HD DVD player--and it looks stunning!
Of course, the movie itself is worthwhile--and this remastered version makes it even more worthwhile to own and watch again and again. Highly recommended!
Movie Review: A wild classic! (literally!)
Summary: 5 Stars
It was made more than 40 years ago, I must have seen it around 20 times in my life and still gets to make me wanna hugh Elsa, the lioness that took the hearts of thousands of people and still is, thanks to home technology. The more I see this movie, the more I understand it's not so much about a naive story, as much as it's about real life for most of us and the values we choose to accompany us throughout our short journeys... if you have a spot in your DVD collection tagged "5 star classics" put it at the beginning of it...
Wild thing you can't miss to have!
Movie Review: Born Free
Summary: 5 Stars
A beautiful film, with stunning cinematography of the Kenyan landscape and the myriad creatures who inhabit it, "Born Free" is also a touching tale of love and sacrifice. The childless Adamsons raise Elsa almost as their own offspring, then confront the necessity of sending her away. Just how they accomplish this is both selfless and painstaking. Grand score by John Barry only adds to the visual and emotional sweep of this ideal family movie.
