Movie Reviews of Testament
Movie Review: Still frightening, sad, and indelible
Summary: 5 Stars
It may have been made in 1983, but this film is still just as frightening, sad, and indelible as it was back then. Jane Alexander gives a powerful performance as a mother who must slowly watch her kids die after nuclear bombs spread radiation everywhere and poison the population. Watching the schoolchildren perform a play, a kid take piano lessons, and a man looking for a tiny coffin for his dead baby daughter...Very hard to take, but makes you think long and hard about the nuclear proliferation and scenario.
The image of the mother bathing her youngest son, who is bleeding internally and dying, is unforgettable.
Movie Review: Brace Yourself
Summary: 5 Stars
Truly one of the most traumatic emotional experiences ever captured on film. You will cry and wonder how this film didn't get more attention. I remember seeing this theatrically and leaving the theater exhausted. This one needs to be seen by every citzen of the World. Classically simple, the direction is amazing. Let's not forget Ms. Alexander who SHOULD have won the Academy Award for which she was nominated for this role. Breathtakingly sad and yet so beautiful. Don't miss this film!Movie Review: Be afraid, be very afraid !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. I saw it when it was originally released and it was the first movie I thought of given the present political climate in the world. The story never says who did what, when or who started it - only the MADD results follow the people in this story. Anyone who doubts we have to watch out for terrorists MUST watch this film. Excellent movie, but not for the children. Jane Alexander showed us every mother's nightmare.Movie Review: Simple, Quality Filmmaking
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the movies that I love for the spectacle, design, and great lines, for me this movie ranks as the most important film ever made. Finally, it's on DVD! It isn't flashy, it isn't fussy, but it does have current discussions from the major contributing actors, producer and director.
And it's still a heart-wrenching film with a message probably more important today than it was during the 'Cold War.'
Movie Review: No hype and all truth .....
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike The Day After and On the Beach, Testament focuses mainly upon how one family (one mother of three, more precisely) lives day by day after a nuclear war. What I liked about this movie particularly is its complete lack of hype and its quietly downplayed mood.
If you've seen the other two, this one is also a must see. If you see this one, the other two are also must sees. :-)
