Movie Reviews of Brian's Song
Movie Review: Best "friendship" movie ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie that everyone should see at least once. It will prove to those who thrive on prejudices that two people of different ethnic origins and from different backgrounds can form a true friendship. All it takes is the time to learn a little about the other person and find the commonalitites and that could be "the start of a beautiful friendship" (borrowing from "Casablanca").
Also listen to the words of the theme song; it's just beautiful. "If the hands of time were hands that I could hold, I'd keep them warm and in my hands they'd not turn cold..." This is a must-see movie for everyone!
Movie Review: makes the short list of top sports movies ever made
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up as a kid, my brother and I watched this made-for-tv-movie every year. And, everytime I heard the music near the end, it made me choke up. Why? The performances. James Caan displays a charisma that pre-dates his awesome role as Sonny Corleone with a confidence and swagger that brought him movie star status. The footage of Sayers galloping in real life is frighteningly graceful...superhuman...wonderful. Give this movie a chance to help you discover what friendship, athletics and family mean. It delivers. And, will leave you moved...thinking about the frailty of human life.Movie Review: Great when you need a good cry!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw Brian's Song when I was about 13 years old. It made me laugh and cry. My sisters and I would wait anxiously for it to be re-run. This is a great sports movie about relationships and like "Remember the Titans" it is based on a true story which makes it even more poignant.
It is a 30 year old made for TV movie, so the production values are not great, but the story and the performances by Billy Dee Williams and James Caan are amazing.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a funny, sad and touching movie
Movie Review: THE REAL MEANING OF THE WORD FRIENDSHIP
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a TV movie from the 70's. The time TV used to produce marvelous films without "state of the art" computerized effects. It tells the simple and marvelous story of a real friendship between two American football players. One helps each other on the most difficult times of their lives. Even if you are young and think the film is old and outdated, give it a try. Real friendship is ageless and a precious thing to be cherished. James Caan and Billy Dee Williams are outstanding in the beginning of their careers.Movie Review: A heartbreaking story
Summary: 5 Stars
I remmember watching this movie and saying I never want to see it again. It was so moving and sad all at the same. I was in complete tears watching this thing. The most sad thing was he never smoke and got cancer. And he was saying I'm dying, I'm dying. I am about to cry while writing this review. That's why I don't want to see it again. The tears will just come and never stop. A great movie and sad, very sad ending. But guess what?! I bought the movie for 50cent at the thirft store today (02/09/2011).
