Movie Reviews of Love Story
Movie Review: Insanely Amazing Film
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the greatest romantic film of all time, by a wide margin. This movie hits the heart like a cupid's arrow. Somehow, this movie makes you feel like YOU are living through the love of your life, and it will last only an hour and a half. You sense this from the very beginning and you begin to relish every second of its undeniable charm and power as like you are enjoying a virtuoso concert. This movie was released around the time I was born and I regret every year which I didn't see it. Never have I been more captivated by the characters and their chemistry. Their dialogues are both authentic and hilarious. There is not a single misplaced sentence which suffocates the flow of the film. Instead, the witty charms of the characters makes them irresistible. In effect, the audience falls in love with the characters, and wishes the story will never end, despite its obvious ending. Put this together with outstanding acting and unforgettable music, and you have a film that hits the heart like no other. The film feels like a passionate love relationship which you know will not last.Movie Review: Love means never having to say "great movie"
Summary: 5 Stars
I just watched Love Story on DVD - the score of the film is so memorable and on DVD it sounds great. The sweeping romanticism of the music just makes you get into the story even more.Ryan O'Neal's acting was really great in this and he was very handsome as well. It's hard to believe that after this movie he made so many bad ones. (including the sequel to Love Story)
Ali Macgraw is so lovable and wonderful in her role as well.
This movie is often a target for ridicule. It is often pointed to as sentimental and saccarine. This is far from the truth - their romance is full of zest and energy. He even calls her a b*tch a couple times. It is not over the top except for the most famous line "love means never.." etc - that is a little cringe worthy.
The direction is great - the locations awesome and the acting solid. No matter how many times you see this movie the end hits you like a ton of bricks. A whole box of tissues!
Great movie!
Movie Review: Buy This Movie Preppie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. If you are channel surfing and it is showing it is so easy to get sucked in no matter how many times you may have already seen it. The setting is Cambridge MA in the late 60's at Harvard University. The handsome and wealthy Oliver Barrett IV meets the brainy and beautiful but poor Jennifer "Jenny" Cavilleri at the library. Ali McGraw is so wonderful in this role as the sarcastic but endearing Jenny and Ryan O'Neal is perfect as the hockey playing jock/scion of an old New England family. This tender love story unfolds behind the ivy covered gates and the winter scenes and Francis Lai's soundtrack are exquisite. The movie takes you from undergrad, to law school, marriage and to the tearful conclusion without missing a beat. Ray Milland is brilliant as the snobby and class conscious Oliver Barrett III. A visually appealing movie that I highly recommend.Movie Review: Something You Should Spend Some Time On It.
Summary: 5 Stars
The major reason makes me interest in this book and DVD was my Dad. This movie was shot before I was born. When I was a little girl, I saw Dad watching this movie every time when it was shown on TV. My Dad is kinds of the action movie type. I was surprised why he loved watching this movie. So, when I was in the video store one day, I decided to rent the DVD to see what made my Dad to watch a love drama. Just like my father. I am totally devoted to the movie. I bought both "Oliver's Story" and "Love Story" and finished reading in one afternoon. For me, I like the Love Story more than Oliver's Story. The 3/4 part of the Love Story was a pleasant story. Both of them loved each other very much and would like to sacrifice for each other. For Oliver's story, it's all sad and how Oliver couldn't forget Jenny. Love Story is very well written. I highly recommend you to read it.
Movie Review: no-na-na banana boat DVD & Turkish Delight
Summary: 5 Stars
The acting is weak? Maybe, but the relationship is realistic, romantic, & the film works. Why does it work? Because the central relationship has true chemistry & is unsentimental--it's the tragedy of the unsentimental relationship being cut short by fate that makes the film itself a sentimental tearjerker. McGraw isn't Ellen Burstyn & O'Neil isn't Robert Mitchum but what matters is that this is a story of a relationship that has chemistry, a real one, whether or not you believe O'Neil goes to Harvard, etc. For the best satirical remake of this film in a more raunchy Euopean style check out the Dutch film "Turkish Delight" by Paul (Basic Instict/Robocop/StarshipTroppers) Verhoeven. And by the way, "Turkish Delight" was also a huge hit.
