Movie Reviews of Ride with the Devil

Movie Review: Ride with te Devil
Summary: 4 Stars

If you are looking for an every day representation of life during the Civil War, this may be the flick for you. The characters are understated, yet not static. The story is believeable yet the ending is a surprise. This is a "slice of life" film. I might use it in a US History classroom to show the effect of the war on average people. Not an earthshaker but worth seeing for history buffs or those interested in average people.

French subtitles. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/22/2006 Starring: Tobey Maguire Jewel Run time: 99 minutes Rating: R Director: Ang Lee
Great period pictures make you feel as if you've stepped into another era, heard its language, breathed its spirit, and come away with a fresh perspective on that time as well as your own. Ride with the Devil is one of those special films--why wasn't it more widely embraced by reviewers and filmgoers? Did it rely too much on our patience for slow accumulation of unforced rhythms and meanings (as opposed to The Patriot, which "moved" audiences with cattle-prod simplicity and manipulation)? Ride with the Devil--smart, handsome, tenderly awed by how individual lives get ambushed by history--is ripe for rediscovery.

The Civil War of battlefields and plantation houses is nowhere to be seen here. Instead we see the war as an improvised and largely blundering but very bloody feud among neighbors in the border state of Missouri. In this bucolic war zone--more than a little reminiscent of the Balkans in the late 1990s--the Taiwanese-born director Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility) traces the destinies of several young Southern bushwhackers (guerrilla fighters) as they experience violence, the seasons, and different kinds of love. Skeet Ulrich draws the aristocratic glamour role (and top billing), but he's overshadowed by Tobey Maguire as a first-generation American, the magnificent Jeffrey Wright (a shameful oversight at Oscar time) as a freed slave fighting beside his former master, and singer Jewel in a very natural acting debut as the young widow who graces all their lives. The title The Birth of a Nation was already taken, but by the end of this movie you feel it would have applied here. -- Richard T. Jameson
