Movie Review: Places in the Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
Edna Spalding finds herself alone and broke on a small farm in the midst of the Great Depression when her husband the Sheriff is killed in an accident. A wandering black man, Moses, helps her to plant cotten to try and keep her farm and her kids together. She also takes on a blind border, Mr. Will, who lost his sight in the first World War. She must endure storms and harsh labor to try and make her mortage payment on time. Sally Field was the perfect choice for the role that she plays, as are Danny Glover and John Malkovich, who is ever so believable as a blind man. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to others. If you enjoy heart-warming, touching stories, you'll definitely enjoy this one.
Movie Review: A Classic Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This 1984 film stars Sally Field as a mother struggling to raise her two children alone, but she soon gains the help of Danny Glover, in one of his best roles, since The Color Purple. She also takes over the care of a blind man, played by John Malchovich, who delivers an incredible performance. This film earned Field's her second oscar, and you can certainly see why.If you have never seen this film, since it has long been unavailable to own, but has now thankfully been re-released on DVD. Although, short on extras, you can chose your choice of full screen or widescreen, and it includes the theatrical trailer. Definately a must have!
Movie Review: DVD! AT LAST!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been waiting for this film on DVD for years! Thank goodness, It's here and won't disappoint. Clean crisp and sharp with great sound quality! As a film it is a true piece of ART with some of the best performances ever assembled! I lived in Waxahachie where much of the film was shot and was in the "Heart" house as it is called. Believe me, the cinematography in this film is worth the price of the DVD! Texas never looked better! This film would make a terrific companion piece to "The Trip to Bountiful" which was also filmed around the Waxahachie, Texas area. "Places" on DVD! It's about time! Now how about "Bountiful" on DVD?Movie Review: Watch it all the way through for the ending
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fine picture - nicely acted, beautifully filmed. If you watch it for no other reason, though, please see it all the way through (don't jump ahead) just for the final scene. It is the most amazing and succinct and simple explanation of redemption and grace and what goes on at the Eucharist that I have ever witnessed. I may have other motion pictures higher up on my list of favorites, but the final scene of "Places in the Heart" is my favorite movie moment. Ever. But be sure to watch the whole film to appreciate it.Movie Review: The ending is awesome.
Summary: 5 Stars
It is 1935 and Sally Field is a young Texas widow trying to save her farm after her husband, the town sheriff, is accidentally killed. An out of work black man (Danny Glover) has a plan to save her farm. John Malkovich plays a blind boarder in her family home. In this Depression-era story, race, bigotry, fidelity and faith are tested. The ending is awesome.
Ed Harris, Amy Madigan and Lindsay Crouse round out this all-star cast. Sally Field won her second Academy Award for her performance.
