Movie Reviews of Children of a Lesser God
Movie Review: Great film very uplifting.
Summary: 5 Stars
Children of a lesser god is about the relationship between a teacher and a young deaf woman who was a star pupil but now works as a janitor and is a very angry/stuborn woman that refuses anyones help including the teacher played by William Hurt. Both actors were terific in thier roles and they gave strong performances as you can see the characters start to develop, also included in the supporting cast is Piper Laurie as Mahlee Maltin's mother who had problems trying to raise her daughter. Most of the actors had to learn sign language obviously for their roles which just shows you how a terrific actor William Hurt is. This film was great to watch and a very uplifting wonderful drama and romance and its a good change from all the depressing and dull drama films that I usualy watch.Movie Review: This is my casablanca
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my all time favorites, It's sweet/bittersweet/sweet it just works. I don't know why it seems on the surface just a run of the mill movie but it's so much more the writing is excellent the cast is great Piper Laurie is great as Sarah's mom, the performances are so good. I fall in love with the stunning Marlee Matlin's Sarah everytime I see it. (What guy wouldn't?) Marlee's face is so expressive there's no need for words. William Hurt has never been better. It is a modern day classic love story. (not a chick flick) The music is incredible. The ending just blows you away emotionally the music and waves have you on the edge until the credits roll and you finally hear the high strings, wow, you'll either be moved or you don't have a pulse. I love this movie!Movie Review: beatiful movie

this stars William Hurt and Marlee Matlin. Marlee plays Sarah who was born deaf and is headstrong. William plays John Leeds a guy with idealistic special Ed teacher. John meets Sarah and he sees her as a challenge as a teacher. sarah gives John a hard time but later learns that she can be loved and love as well. the only thing that is between them is the silence. she is deaf and he can hear. sarah feels she is alone and unloveable because that is what she sees. john trys to teach sarah that there is more to life then being deaf and sarah does not understand that. she wants John to talk in her language not his like she can hear. what a wonderful love story.Movie Review: Gripping Tale of Closed Worlds Joined
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just an excellent, moving film of an oral track special ed instructor played magnificently by William Hurt falling in love with a Deaf sign only woman superbly acted by Marlee Matlin.The plot develops as the energetic, determined instructor James pursues Sarah to first allow the teaching of speech, but turns it into language of love.
Two new worlds open for both as well, united at the end in a space void of silence and sound.
Passionate, enlightening, thought provoking. Keeps your interest throughout.
Movie Review: Bridging the Gap of Hearing and Deaf!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this movie to be wonderful and very inspiring. I recommend it especially to those, like me, who are Hearing but are starting a new relationship with a Deaf person. I can identify very well w/ Hurt's character: believing that all deaf should speak, that one can never understand the Deaf person's silence, etc. Besides being a romantic flick for any couple, I recommend it for any of those who think that love cannot flourish under adverse circumstances.
