Movie Reviews of Imitation of Life
Movie Review: My favorite movie of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
This is actually my favorite movie of all time. A timeless Hollywood classic, with gut-wrenching performances turned in by the entire cast, the movie explores racism, friendship, and complex-mother daughter relationships. For some time now, my mother and I get together once a year or so for a viewing of our favorite movie. The first time my husband witnessed it, he was reading in another room, and heard wailing coming from the living room. He rushed in to see the two of us bawling-- despite the numerous times we've watched it!Movie Review: Lana shines again
Summary: 5 Stars
this film is absolutely fabulous- i think both versions ( claudettes and Lana's are quite charming). Lana shines in every scene she is in and her outfits are quite sublime. the ending should have everyone in tears- i think Lana has not got the reputation she deserves her acting in certain films namely this, peyton place & postman were worthy of an oscar.
Given that there were not that many films that had black actors in major roles during the hollywood studio system days i think the cast did a sterling job.
Movie Review: Imitation of life 1959
Summary: 5 Stars
I was born 1959, I have reviewed this 1000 of times and I still cry at the end. This has got to be one of my all time realist and encouraging "to be proud of who you are movies, EVER". This without a doubt has to show the strength and courage of strong mothers never giving up on their children. This is such a powerful movie, I would highly recommend a mother-daughter movie night on this one. Not only does is strenghten the relationship, but it also opens up social issues for conversation.Movie Review: Powerful and Captivating...A Mahalia Jackson Vehicle!
Summary: 5 Stars
This rather unique story of two mother and two daughters, as they face life in the Pre-civil rights era of the 1950s. This movie is a must for all men and women who love a good ol' fashioned tear-jerker. It is the proverbial chick-flick ( Some men will love this movie for the beautiful girls)I loved it because it had a powerful cameo appearance of the great, Legendary gospel Queen Mahalia Jackson singing a very haunting "Trouble of the world" this is an excellent movie.Movie Review: They Don't Make movies like this anymore
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is so fantastic! It is my favorite movie of all time. There are so many themes and lessons in it. Each character has depth and complexity and I can relate to each one. The first time watching it, you see good and bad in black and white and then after seeing it so many times, I see the gray areas and the struggles with the tough decisions that the characters have to make. It is a wonderful tear jerker and I am almost always sobbing like a baby at the end.
