Movie Reviews of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Movie Review: Real characters
Summary: 5 Stars
If you didn't know it, you'd think that this was a made up story. However, it is based on a true story and real characters that live and/or work in Savannah. You will laugh, you'll love the music, and you'll enjoy the true story it is based on. Thank you Mr. Eastwood.
Summary of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Academy award-winning director Clint Eastwood helms this story based on John Berendt's best-selling book examining contemporary events and unique characters in picturesque Savannah Georgia following a shocking murder. The most important party of the Savannah Christmas season ends with a bang! when affable host Jim Williams shoots a man to death. The party is over and the mystery begins.Running Time: 156 min.System Requirements:Widescreen Format ("matted" to preserve the aspect ratio of original theatrical exhibition enhanced for widescreened TVs) Languages: English (5.1 Dolby Digital Surround) and French (Dolby Stereo Surround) Theatrical Trailer Production Notes and Interactive Menus Closed Captioning and Dual-layer Format Additional Information Special Features: Featurette Interactive Menus Interviews Production Notes Theatrical Trailer Video Format: Widescreen (no A.R. specified) Enhanced for 16x9 TVs Subtitles: English Spanish French Track Info: English: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround French: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Closed Captioning: Yes # Discs: 1Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: R UPC: 085391477624Readers of John Berendt's bestselling novel were bound to be at least somewhat disappointed by this big-screen adaptation, but despite mixed reaction from critics and audiences, there's still plenty to admire about director Clint Eastwood's take on the material. Readers will surely miss the rich atmosphere and societal detail that Berendt brought to his "Savannah story," and the movie can only scratch the surface of Georgian history, tradition, and wealthy decadence underlying Berendt's fact-based murder mystery. Still, Eastwood maintains an assured focus on the wonderful eccentrics of Savannah, most notably a gay Savannah antiques dealer (superbly played by Kevin Spacey), who may or may not have killed his friend and alleged lover (Jude Law). John Cusack plays the Town & Country journalist who arrives in Savannah to find much more than he bargained for--including the city's legendary drag queen Lady Chablis (playing "herself")--and John Lee Hancock's smoothly adapted screenplay succeeds in bringing Berendt's characters vividly to life with plenty of flavorful dialogue. In similar fashion to Warner's acclaimed DVD of L.A. Confidential, this classy DVD includes a behind-the-scenes documentary titled The Real People in the Garden and an interactive map tour of Savannah and its most celebrated (or notorious) citizens. The original theatrical trailer is also included. --Jeff Shannon
