Movie Reviews of Imitation of Life
Movie Review: A Must See!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been an old movie buff since the age of 9, black & white movies that is. My mom suggested "Imitation of Life" to me some 36 years ago, and I still view it regularly. This film focuses on themes that are still relevant today such as friendship, career, love, mother-daughter relations, single parenting, etc. There is one scene alone that not only breaks one out into tears from deep in the gut, but will make you appreciate the high-calling of motherhood. I coordinate an afterschool program and this was recently our movie of the month for the 10-13 year olds and THEY LOVED IT! After we all wiped the tears, the students held a 'lively' discussion about their life struggles that pretty much aligned with the themes of the film. This activity inspired me to give "Imitation of Life" as gifts for Christmas. I HIGHLY recommend this movie for the young at heart...and for those who just need a good CRY! I give it 5 out of 5 stars!Movie Review: Helpful and Appreciative on How To Love
Summary: 5 Stars
I was only around 8 when I watched this movie and it bought tears to my eyes then. It makes me think about all the times I disrespected my mom and how it made her feel. And everytime i watch it I end up apologizing to her for what I've done and thanking her cause i dont want her to die and not know that i truly did love and care for her. I think everyone should watch this movie and gain understanding from it, cause it is more than a suspense or drama, it is a lesson that everyone can learn from. I pick this movie as my all times favorite and I haven't seen a movie yet to compare with the compassion that the actors and director has put into it. And I'll like to thank the person that wrote the book and made the movie cause they have helped me with my relationship with my mom several times.Movie Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this movie dozens of times, but, loaned it out to someone and they did not give it back. Each time I see it, I cry like a baby. I recently lost my Mother 8-15-2008, and after the funeral some body made the comment that her funeral was one of the most beautiful funerals that they have seen, since watching Imitation of Life, and they were right, only thing is we did not have a horse and carriage for my Mom. It also, reminds me that you should be proud of your heritage and treat your Mother right, because you never know when she will be gone(like mine was 64 and passed in her sleep), I did not have time to say good bye, but, there are no regrets as to how I treated my Mother. I have recommended this video to everyone I come across, it is a great lesson on life itself.Movie Review: True classic tearjerker... Worthy of repeat viewing! 5 stars!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this film countless times & will continue to do so, as I've done over the years. I've got my video, but am excited to see this film available on DVD, & in widescreen format, the way it should be presented in its true form.
The cast alone should well endorse the fact that Imitation of Life is a winner. The actors give solid performances & have us glued our screens to follow the story through from its very inception to the climax of the picture. I know its a cliche, but they really don't make 'em like this anymore. If you want a real first-rate tearjerker, indulge yourself in this film. It will not disappoint you. It's one of those movies you have to watch at least once a year. A 5 star production.
Movie Review: Best movie ever made!
Summary: 5 Stars
If this movie doesn't impact your emotions, you must be dead. Man or woman, adult or teen, of any ethnicity, this is a touching movie that is sure to bring tears. But for all the right reasons. It is about time that some producer does a re-make, again. The subject matter of this movie could easily be made modern and would be sure to touch today's movie goers as it did in the past. This was the only movie my grandmother ever saw inside a theatre. Wholesome and good while tugging at the heart strings. Romance and love are two different things in this captivating movie that you will never ever forget. I so highly recommend it, and await YOUR reviews. And STEVE in the movie is a hunk by any era's standards!
