Movie Reviews of Prancer
Movie Review: One Terrific Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, before I go on, I must say that the music score in Prancer by Maurice Jarre (father of world famous keyboardist Jean-Michel Jarre) is just superb. The haunting score is played throughout the film, and it gets me every time.
I can't get through this film without totally breaking down (and I'm a 50 year old 250 lb guy). I think it has a lot to do with the music, but also the story of a child's love for an animal. This is the only film I totally cry over, so much so I haven't watched it on over 5 years until I saw it again on TV and it gets to me the same way it did over 10 years ago when I first saw it.
The film is dark (not the story but the film itself) and it really works as I can almost feel being there in the snow covered hills of Michigan where the story takes place. I can feel the cold air as the scenery in the way it's depicted in the film is remarkable. Up until the very end, this is the most realistic film of any genre out there.
This is in my own personal top ten movies of all time.
Movie Review: Family holiday movie for teaching oppty.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie (not its copycat) is well worth the price and time for viewing. I have always felt that this movie is one of the most underrated of all holiday offerings. The value comes from the opportunity to help children understand that, despite the "tinsel" (flimsy Pollyanna themes) commonly used in Christmas stories, there are real difficulties that families face and are often brought to the surface during the holidays. There are many teaching moments in the film, including the sensitivity to poverty, seniors, animals, hope and despair in the holidays, sibling conflict, and tender reconciliation and forgiveness. This film is better for the more mature youngster, perhaps age 9 and above. Rebecca Harrelson, the brilliantly directed young lead, is showcased in the outstanding light of stars Sam Elliott, Cloris Leachman, and Abe Vigoda. This is a movie to share and discuss with your child; my kids and I grew closer because of that communication.Movie Review: ENDEERING CHRISTMAS FABLE
Summary: 5 Stars
It's Rebecca Herrell's unabashedly realistic performance as young Jessie that is the heart of this charming Christmas fable. Whether the reindeer involved is really the magical Prancer, we want to believe along with Jessica that he is. Sam Elliott plays the gruff father, a widower faced with losing his apple farm, and who has become embittered towares life. A glowing supporting cast including Cloris Leachman as a dotty old lady; Rutanya Alda as Jessie's sweet Aunt Sarah and Abe Vigoda as a crotchety veterinarian lends fine mettle to the proceedings. PRANCER succeeds because it's really an examination of family values, the need for love and acceptance and that childhood whimsy of belief in what may seem impossible. It's reassuring message of childhood fantasy is heartwarming and celebratory for this special season.Movie Review: Ranks among the Best...
Summary: 5 Stars
And I'm talking about such classics as Alastair Sim's "Christmas Carol," "Miracle on 34th Street" (the original), "It's a Wonderful Life," and "White Christmas."
This story about a little girl who finds a lost reindeer that she believes is Prancer, one of Santa's eight, is quite touching. This reindeer's visit transforms an entire town, including a woman who has given up on Christmas, a gruff father who has given up on life, and many others. And the ending is spellbinding.
This movie will convince you that reindeer can fly. A real presentation of the spirit of Christmas!
Movie Review: wonderfully made film
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought it in a German Vision in a Supermarket 7 years ago,just to get a little entertainment before Christmas. And, I love it today and I will look forward watching this wonderful made film. Esp. the children's acting is remarkable. I was surprised to notice, that it is an "American" film ( considering how Europeans expect and see them ).
I esteem this film for its natural sound and picture, the natural and authentic play of all those actors, and its quintessence that your phantasy by heart is as real as anything else you (have to) experience in your life. And really, you can trust it.
