Movie Reviews of Cyrano de Bergerac
Movie Review: movies worth owning
Summary: 5 Stars
When you read the play this is taken from and then watch the movie, you can be totally entranced by the fact that they have taken an ok play and made it into a spectacular movie. The character, "Cyrano," has been used in many different forms in other writings, plays and movies over the years. Even Steve Martin did a remake of this for modern times,ROXANNE. Nowhere near as good as the original, but a
remake all the same. This has a moral side to it, besides the falling in love and the war being fought through it, that embodies what true integrity is and how a person makes decisions that always show that side of his character. Truly good for all ages.
Movie Review: 'Then, as I end the refrain, thrust home!'
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent portrayal of the play. I can't think of anyone who could've made a better Cyrano than Jose Ferrer. I haven't seen the later version with Gerard Depardieu, but have heard it's good. There's just something about the old black & white movies.
Perhaps the best part of the movie is that the swordplay is actually authentic! Not a lot of crappy gratuitous blade-twirling like you see in today's movies. And you'd be hard-pressed to see better rapier and dagger in any movie.
All in all, an excellent show.
Movie Review: Wonderful Wit
Summary: 5 Stars
This version of Cyrano de Bergerac is timeless. Jose Ferrer embodies the character of Cyrano in a way that Steve Martin's "Roxanne" version of the story never did. I highly recommend this movie for entertainment, as well as, disscusion of wit and humor during the Renescience.Movie Review: This story of unrequited love passes the test of time
Summary: 5 Stars
Jose Ferrer is perfect. He makes you laugh and weep with his self-deprecating humor and tragic heartbreak. Even though this is an older movie, the message of true love and sacrifice is relevant today. I had to have this as one of my all-time favorites.Movie Review: Greatest love story
Summary: 5 Stars
A superb love story. A movie that everyone can realate to. A man blinded by his lack of self esteem and self-worth. Full of high principles for everyone except himself.
