Movie Reviews of The Love Letter
Movie Review: "I ACHE FOR A LOVE THAT BURNS LIKE FIRE, AND MOONLIGHT!"
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie! I highly recommend it! It is a poignant, tender, love story, that transcends time! Scotty, a civil war buff, who is engaged to be married to someone else, buys a very old desk, that belonged to a civil war general!
Scotty is cleaning, and restoring the desk and finds a secret compartment with a love letter in it, from Lizzie who is living in the year 1863! Scott writes Lizzie , and then she writes him back, and they correspond to each other through time, with these love letters, and they fall in love, and realize that you cannot always change a life that has already been lived!
If you are a hopeless romantic like me, this movie is for you! This movie reminded me for some reason ,of a real life, true story civil war, love letter that this man named Sullivan Ballou, wrote to his wife Sarah, before the battle of Bull Run! I learned about it from Ken Burns Civil War documentry, from the History Channel! I highly recommend reading this awesome letter, sometime check it out.
But I just loved this movie, and I loved the way this story was written, this was very well done, I really enjoyed it! This is a movie you, will want to watch more than once!
Summary of The Love Letter
No one with romantic tendencies will be able to resist The Love Letter. Campbell Scott plays a Civil War buff who buys a desk from that era. While polishing it, he discovers a secret compartment, in which sits an unmailed letter--a letter written by a young woman named Lizzie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) over a century earlier. Touched by her yearning for passion, he writes her back, egged on by his mystically inclined mother (Estelle Parsons). Magically his letter reaches Lizzie and they begin a correspondence that threatens Scott's impending marriage but promises to bring fulfilment to Lizzie. The Love Letter is absurd, yet somehow that doesn't stop it from being completely engaging and even moving. Scott and Parsons are solid, while Jason Leigh is downright rapturous--the movie may owe its success to her. The plot has surprising twists and the conclusion is sweet and satisfying. An unexpected pleasure. --Bret FetzerDrama DVD Video
