Movie Reviews of The Black Orchid
Movie Review: My favorite!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is wonderful. It is a drama (with a happy ending) and is a beautiful view of Italians in America. It is watching a real person struggling and trying to overcome all the hardships of life.
Warning! Spoilers!
It is a story of an Italian woman whose husband was murdered by the mafia, and her son who is living in a reform camp. she meets another Italian immigrant, and because of his kindness, begins to change her life. It really is a bittersweet movie, exploring the tragedies of the human life. The strangest part of this movie is adapting to the Italian culture, adding a strong flavor and shifting this movie towards the foreign movie shelf. The actors are wonderfully chose and, most importantly, believable. The shots are simple and the entire movie relies completely on the acting skills of the main characters. I would recommended this movie to everyone, though, be warned, you hit rock bottom before this film re-surfaces.
