Movie Reviews of Love Story
Movie Review: A bit dated
Summary: 3 Stars
When the book/movie were produced, about 40 years ago, the sexual revolution was new; thus the "God is dead" mentality and the "anything goes" sexual morality exhibited by the story's heroes would have seemed avant-garde. Of course, now such ideas have become mainstream--perhaps even quaint--even though the abandonment of God and the normalization of non-marital sex has hardly resulted in human flourishment.
As I watched the movie, the following passages from the Bible came to mind:
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. (Ephesians 6:4a)
The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." (Psalm 14:1)
And he told them a parable, saying, "The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God." (Luke 12:16-21)

Genre: DRAMA
Strife-torn America wanted a meat-and-potatoes romance in the late '60s, and the country embraced Erich Segal's slim, generic-sounding novel in a big way. It did so again for the film adaptation in 1970, starring Ryan O'Neal as a law student who defies his rich and powerful father (Ray Milland) on every issue, including the former's love for a music student (Ali MacGraw). The two marry, start life together...and then the Grim Reaper turns up at the door. Directed by Arthur Hiller (The In-Laws), the film ends up lacking the kind of stylistic boost that might have made it a must-see for the ages. But its faithfulness to the book's uncomplicated and, yes, moving intentions is pretty solid. O'Neal is convincing as a nice guy who's as bullheaded in his own way as his steely father (a nice job by Milland), and MacGraw has a way of getting under one's skin. A viewer just has to try not laughing at the refrain, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." --Tom Keogh
