Movie Reviews of Places in the Heart
Movie Review: Best Move I've Ever Seen
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best movie I've ever seen, starring my all time favorite actress, Sally Field. Sally won an accademy award for best actress for her part in this film, which she very much deserves. She did one fantastic job of acting. So did the pople who played the blind man and the black hired hand.
Set in the Great Gepression, it portrays people who are tender in their caring for others, very strong in their faith in God and gutsy in their refusal to quit when the going gets tough. In contrast it portrays an insensitive, greedy banker, who shortly after her husband's senseless killing encourages Edna Spalding (Sally Field) to sell her house to pay off the mortgage, go live with her sister and since she doesn't have room to house all of Edna's family, send one of her two children to live with relatives in another state. She bluntly turns down his offer, letting him know that she will find a way to get the mortgage money in on time.
A black man named Mose's (Danny Grover) offer to help Edna grow cotton, while met with initial hesitation, undoutedly influenced not only by the South's attitude toward blacks, but also by the fact that her husband was killed by a drunken black man is finally accepted. Edna is also coerced by the banker into housing his blind brother Will (John Malkovitch), which turns out to be a real blessing is diguise. Her black hired hand is also a Godsend. He proves to be worth his weight in gold and when the cotton harvest is in, the mortgage payment is more than met. The movie ends on a triumphant note, with blacks and whites setting next to each other in church, receiving communion. The Scripture text for the day is I Corinthians 13. I love movies with happy endings, where good triumphs over evil and where gutsy people, ones who live their faith in God, aren't afraid to stand up to opposition and work to protect their family and moral values from scoundrals.
