Movie Reviews of Mr. & Mrs. Bridge
Movie Review: Mr.&Mrs. Bridge
Summary: 5 Stars
It is just a wonderful movie that did not get any play in the theatre or anywhere else. I rented it for the first time because of the cast and loved it, that is why I have added it to my collection. If we all live long enough we will go through the same thing, it's also a different period of time, but I could relate since I was on the fringe of that generation and as I look at things now maybe it was not all that bad. We have lost such an icon in Paul Newman,but I am glad that his wife is still with us. That is another thing that makes this movie so wonderfu is that Joann Woodward stars in it as his wife. They are always great and wonderful together. I'm so glad to have been able to follow Mr. Newman's career, as I'm 70y/o and saw it from the beginning.It seems that we are so caught up in special effects that we have forgotten what it's like to see a movie that is just a GOOD story and this one meets all those requirements and more. The special effects are Good acting and Great actors. ENJOY!!!Movie Review: Muddling through, getting basically from here to nowhere - but a good movie anyway
Summary: 5 Stars
Both Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward perform expertly in this adaptation of the Evan S. Connell novels. Newman is Walter Bridge, a stiff, by-the-book, passionless man, and Woodward his reticent, subservient wife, India. Although Woodward is unhappy in this relationship, the movie is not about an oafish, bullying husband and his dominated wife - it's a lot more subtle than that. Set in the 1930s, it's a time when the upper crust was still expected to act this way (although times were a-changing). Intelligent in a way lost to Hollywood in recent times, the movie doesn't take any of the shortcuts one might expect. The characters are not black and white, good and evil; they have interesting shadings about them - and our feelings about them and responses to them are also shaded. It's a very good movie; definitely worth a watch.
Movie Review: Mr. and Mrs. Newman as Mr. and Mrs. Bridge
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think it's possible not to enjoy this movie. It's not all rainbows and roses, but an honest look at WWII era life in mid-America. All of the characters are superb, not a weak link in the bunch.
You see the evolution of a marriage that always has commitment, and a bond of love, yet lacks the emotional component. As the story unfolds, the couple learn how important one is to the other despite years of taking one another for granted.
The couple is central to the tale but they aren't alone, children grow through many changes learning about life as do close friends. This is a fly on the wall look at an American family.
Don't miss it! Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward are simply wonderful when working together.
Movie Review: In Memory Of...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a nice story of a long relationship and even tho it is NOTHING like the relationship of the real-life actors involved, it is just so beautiful to see the actors of older age because you know that their love for each other, in real life, was very strong, very real, and very lasting.Movie Review: I didn't live during the 30's and 40's but this movie showed me what made your parents.
Summary: 5 Stars
We are reliving these same economic conditions but with cell phones, computers and less rules. I bought this movie and "View From The Terrace" at the same time, not knowing that they go together. The best Paul Newman movie is "Hombre". See it first.
