Movie Reviews of Look Back in Anger
Movie Review: One of Burton's Best Performances
Summary: 5 Stars
Both Richard Burton and Mary Ure make this move a must see, in my opinion. They give life to the characters and there's a chemistry between them that you don't often find in movies.
It's a story about a troubled marriage, mainly because the husband (Burton) is an angry young man who's haunted by his past and unreasonably resents his wife for what he sees is a lack of empathy and emotion because she had never experienced loss such that he had experienced and also of betrayal because she stays in touch with her mother, who disapproves of him. Suffice to say, as is typical of marriages, he takes his past baggage and anger at the world out on the one closest to him -- his spouse. Without giving away the ending, they both come around to understand each other, though, and she comes around to actually empathize with him.
It's a very good story, but, again, it's the acting, in my view, that makes this movie a classic.
Summary of Look Back in Anger
OscarĀ(r) nominee* Richard Burton delivers a passionate performance, and Mary Ure, ClaireBloom, Gary Raymond and Edith Evans give exciting stand-out portrayals (Los Angeles Times)in this powerful and engrossing motion picture (Cue) that bristles with brilliant dialogue (The Hollywood Reporter) and raw human emotion. Rage! His eyes blaze with it and his bodyseethes with it. Jimmy Porter is a man consumed by anger, and every moment he spends in the rank, suffocating squalor of the English factory town that entraps him, propels him closer and closer towards self-annihilation. But Jimmy's savage cruelty is not limited to himself. He also hurts the ones he lovesagain and again. And this time, he's about to commit an act so brutal, so destructive, that his wife Alison, her best friend Helena, and even Jimmy himself may not be able to survive! *Actor: The Robe (1953), Becket (1964), The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (1965), Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf (1966), Anne Of The Thousand Days (1969), Equus (1977); Supporting Actor: My Cousin Rachel (1952)Similar DVD Movies
