Movie Reviews of Shadows in the Sun
Movie Review: A great movie for dreamers and "life-searching" people.
Summary: 5 Stars
Can you really be happy and life loving if you're not doing what you were meant to do in life? Can you really ignore the calling blaming it all on fear of failure or other sircumstances in life? The story in this film touches on many simmular subjects and gets it done very well! I was amazed for a movie to cover so much in such an interesting, but healthy and useful way. Even though it starts out a bit slowly, but the scenes get better and better as we familiarize ourselves with the people of Tuscany more. With loads of easy going but great lessons and some tear jerking scenes, the movie provides amazingly beautiful and heart warming shots of Tuscany. You'll want to go to Italy, but best of all, you'll want to go to that place in your own heart that makes sense to you. This movie pushes on the hardship of discovering a way out in life for creative people. For many folks their dreams never come true, they're like little birds that cannot fly out of a cage, so in this story, what's amazing is that all the characters found their way out. Everyone had a happy ending only because they listened and they learned. I also enjoyed the story line between the young editer and the older writer. Heartbreaking and very thaughtprovoking. I thought this movie was amazing, in fact it is now one of my favorites. If you also think that it is indeed very hard to find movies that are fun, interesting and have some sort of lessons, like a good book, this movie is right for you. Watch it, I strongly recommend it.
Summary of Shadows in the Sun
If you liked UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN you'll love this wonderful romantic comedy set in the stunning Italian countryside! Ambitious agent Jeremy Taylor (Joshua Jackson -- CURSED TV's DAWSON'S CREEK) is sent by his London publishing company on a mission to achieve what many others have failed to do: sign reclusive wildly eccentric author Weldon Parish (Academy Award(R) nominee Harvey Keitel -- Best Supporting Actor BUGSY 1991; NATIONAL TREASURE). Once in enchanting Tuscany however Jeremy instead falls head over heals for Weldon's beautiful daughter (Claire Forlani -- THE MEDALLION ANTITRUST) and develops a friendship with the literary master. It's a charming fun and passionate tale that's sure to steal your heart!System Requirements:Running Time 100 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?TV-14 UPC:?786936697957 Manufacturer No:?04992900Shadows in the Sun is a feel-good movie that tells the story of two men who're struggling to overcome their fears of not being good enough. When Jeremy Taylor (a charming Joshua Jackson of Dawson's Creek) is assigned the unenviable task of tracking down and signing up reclusive author Weldon Parish (Harvey Keitel), he has his work cut out for him. The American expatriate hasn't written a book in 20 years, has no interest in dealing with junior editors such as Taylor, and sees no reason why he should change his idyllic lifestyle in Italy to worry about meeting hurried deadlines and publisher's editorial changes. In reality, Parish--who stopped writing when his wife died--is scared he won't be able to live up to his reputation as a relevant literary icon. After a few fistfights and the reclaiming of a stolen cow, the two begin to bond. A little. As Parish tells Taylor, "I dislike you less today than yesterday." Not as subtle as Diane Lane's Under the Tuscan Sun, Shadows in the Sun highlights the beauty of rural Italy--and of Claire Forlani, who plays Parish's daughter Isabella. The warm acting and lush scenery transcend the film's slow-moving pace and the predictable ending, which, in movies like this, can be nothing other than happy. --Jae-Ha Kim
