Movie Reviews of Cradle Will Rock
Movie Review: Great Movie. Too bad it was completely overlooked.
Summary: 5 Stars
After seeing the reviews for Cradle Will Rock I just have to add my two cents. People seem to be far too concerned with Tim Robbins' alteration of the story in question. This is a movie, not a documentary. The themes of the movie are far more imprtant than any history lesson about the stage play in question. I don't claim to know what Mr. Robbins was thinking when he made this movie but I know this is part of it: during the last hundred years art, in all it's forms, has been bought, altered, censored, and exploited by big business and big governement. This has allowed more people to live and work as artists but it has also robbed them of their artistic vision and control, especially in Hollywood. Tim Robbins is making a statement. Look beyond the story to find it.Movie Review: Long wait in OZ
Summary: 5 Stars
Read the review of "Cradle will rock" in the newspaper "Green left". Unrequited wait for yrs - film never released in Adelaide (South Australia) - but! amazon to the rescue. Made a dinner party of our 1st viewing. Pulled in from the start! All too familiar to us were the names of the aspiring actors, producers, painters who were soon blacklisted or otherwise abused by politicians-on-the-rise. Extra wrench to see Rivera's mural jack-hammered in the film - we'd seen a reproduction in Mexico City just a few yrs ago and read about the original's destruction.
Caution: People outside the USA should be aware that they'll need a DVD player that takes Zone 1 material.
Movie Review: A film to watch with heart open and brain in gear
Summary: 5 Stars
The Greentomatoes reviews of this excellent movie make for truly depressing reading. A favourite line from some of them is
"tries too hard". Yeah. Evidently, making a movie that encourages you to hold a thought between your ears for longer than thirty seconds constitutes a crime. This is a passionately "theatrical" re-telling of a series of seminal moments in the history of american art & theatre. If you don't like this movie,check your pulse, you might just be dead.
Movie Review: Brilliant and Flawed Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
"Cradle Will Rock" is a flawed and brilliant masterpiece. I was hooked early on and honestly needed to see it a few times, each viewing increased my admiration for Robbins work. The movie sprawls a bit but has all the atmosphere of the period and everyone gives a rather memorable performance. I can't help but rate this film five stars, warts and all.Movie Review: A Bad Day at Black Rock - Unforgettable
Summary: 5 Stars
Bad Day at Black RockA Masterpiece that should be rediscover for the screenplay, for the direction and this powerfull acting of Spencer Tracy.
