Movie Reviews of The Burning Bed
Movie Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
i haven't seen this movie since it first aired on television back in 1984. but it left a lasting impression on my mind. i know many wouldn't agree with what francine did, but you would truly have to put yourself in her shoes, not for a day but for the entire duration of her abuse and then say she had a choice, it was kill or be killed. if you don't believe that then think of the Simpson case. How many times did nicole brown call the police on him and nobody did anything.how many women are killed by their abusers? statistics are staggering. a woman is victimized every 6 seconds, those are reported cases only. i am not saying it is right but when backed into a corner you will fight back the only way you can.Movie Review: Hilarious melodrama!
Summary: 5 Stars
Farrah gives a stand-out performance in what many consider her best role. The film goes out of its way to portray her husband as the bad guy. Ladies please, the man just wanted him some beer! And if he didn't want his wife going to no school, then that was his choice. While he did take it to the extreme, I have to agree that she deserved a whuppin' for making him a TV dinner. After a long hard day o' drinkin' a mans got to have some supper! Grace Zibriskie adds to the comedy playing LeMat's mom who begs Farrah to stay with him cause that's what a woman does. She also gets beat, too.Movie Review: The Burning Bed
Summary: 5 Stars
Abused battered wife has had enough of husband beating up on her. Everywhere she turns for help, there's not much anyone will do. After he rapes one night, she sets the bed on fire with him in it while asleep. Farrah Fawcett at her best playing a woman savagely battered by her husband for 13 years. Even if you don't enjoy the wonderful performances, the truth of this movie should rock you into some sort of reality. A very powerful and chilling movie.
Movie Review: Memorable
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a classic example of what it is like to be in a relationship of abuse and torment, it depicts a womens frustration in trying to make decisions considering her childrens lives and herself, Farrah fawcett does this persona very well, but then she becomes very resentful and tired of all this abuse and tries to find a way out of it, I really feel for her charachter in this movie, she was a brilliant actress.Movie Review: Nothing short of brilliant!
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is well known by so many, because it was a landmark case of domestic abuse.
However, it was Farah Fawcett's brilliant performance that made so many aware of the intense feelings of a woman trapped. Viewers cannot help but imagine themselves in this nightmare, without any help available.
How far would you have to be pushed before you reached a breaking point?
