Movie Reviews of Feast Of All Saints
Movie Review: A Historical Insight to Another Side of New Orleans!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I saw the movie "The Feast of All Saints", I was truly mistified by the information the movie released and also the extraordinary acting. I was always curious about the Black people from New Orleans and how they became termed as "Creole". The drama was a story of Love, Betrayal, Romance, Finance, Family and Forgiveness. The acting by Jennifer Beal and many of the noted actors and actress' really helped one to understand what was going on in New Orleans in that time period and how Black People chose to survive without having to endure the anals of slavery, yet through the lighter skinned blacks, oppressing the darker blacks still continued the same oppression as their White counter parts. This movie is a must have for any video library. Please release soon!
Movie Review: A Fabulous Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I never heard about this movie, until my sister Gina came over Saturday June 11,2005, and she brought the Feast of all Saints, which I never heard of in my life, I did'nt look at it until Sunday. So I looked at the movie, I thought it was a very interested movie. I loved the way they dressed back then and most beautiful hair styles. The background music is so lovely. I liked this movie because it back lots of memory, and Marcel wanted to know who he was, sometimes that same question comes to me who am I, this is really something to think about today some people don't know who thet are. I haven't read the book yet, I'm going to buy the dvd and book. I one last thing I wanted to know does this comes in a soundtrack, because the music is so relaxing.Movie Review: A Real Education!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was truly amazing! As a black woman, I received an education in history. I was never aware that people of color were not only free during this time in history, but were wealthy and powerful, and that they too owned slaves! The Creole (et al) are not generally focused on when the is black discussed throughout history. The movie flowed well and was well balanced. It included family ties, true love, betrayal, and history. The acting was superb of course, with names such as James Earl Jones, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee. I would recommend this movie to anyone and I hope to see more movies of it's kind that give a complete understanding of the lives of all blacks in our history.Movie Review: Magnificent - Old Style Grandeur
Summary: 5 Stars
This Showtime Original Movie should have been released on the big screen. The actors were as convincing as the cast of Gone With The Wind, and most performances were Oscar worthy. I'm not a a free person of color, but I love stories relating to other peoples' history. The only drawback was casting Peter Gallagher asPhillipe. I would have chosen someone with blond hair and fair skin, since both Marcel and Marie's coloring would not have been so fair if they had Peter Gallagher and Cecile's skin chemistry and hair color. I watch the video whenever I can relax on a rainy weekend day. If you want to check out the whole background, read Ann Rice's book first, it explains everything.Movie Review: DECENT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Anne Rice's novels, and have only been happy with two movies that have been made from her books.
Feast Of All Saints, I believe, captured most of Anne Rice's novel. Yes, there were some rushed scenes, and things that had been left out of the film, but all in all, I found it to be well done, and well acted.
To anyone that has read the novel, it is worth seeing this movie. And to anyone who has seen the movie, but has not read the book, I urge you to read the novel, it's much better.
I gave this movie 5 stars, because the movie was very close to the novel, and I think that often times, studios ignore the actual story in an Anne Rice novel.
