Movie Reviews of Hemingway
Movie Review: Stacy Keach, Hemingway
Summary: 5 Stars
Stacy Keach as Hemingway, Stacy Keach, a near Hemingway look-a-like portrays Ernest the struggling author in Paris remarkably well. Life in Paris while deeply in love, without money with his career getting a start is arguably the best time in his life causing the appropriate book title of this period, "Movable Feast". Running through the streets with the bulls chasing him in Pamplona, Spain gives reality to "The Sun Also Rises", for which he made Pamplona famous. Flashbacks to the Civil Wars in Italy and Spain do a fine job of accounting for, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "A Farewell to Arms". Taking his second wife on Safari in Africa provides us a glimpse of his views on wildlife, nature and death. Touring Africa no doubt influenced "Green Hills of Africa" and "Snows of Kilimanjaro". Those fans of Hemingway that have visited his beautiful home in Key West, FL are familiar with the cats running around the property, his secluded den with the overworked typewriter across a bridge giving Ernest uninterrupted privacy while writing. The film quite accurately shows each of these aspects of his home. Hemingway's third wife, a war correspondent in her own right spent a long time with Ernest in Cuba where Marlin fishing influenced his great book, "The Old Man and the Sea" considered to have helped him win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. Hemingway's fourth wife whom he met in Paris loved him very much as we come to realize Ernest as every bit as macho as he is talented yet not indestructible. His weaknesses with alcohol and women affect his writing in later years. As the most prominent figure in Key West, FL he frequented the bars, which his loving wife tolerated. From Safaris, to Bullfights to Deep Sea Fishing to War Medals for Courage this Macho Man and talented writer when asked, responded: "Whatever success I have had has been through writing what I know about". This film shows us all the truth of this statement.
