Movie Reviews of The Man Who Cried
Movie Review: Forget what you've read, Watch this Movie:
Summary: 5 Stars
I almost did not buy this movie after reading the reviews by critics. I got it after much ordering and canceling, and I
tell you, its the best $... I ever spent. This movie is the
best acted, best story-line, best all around movie I have seen in years. If you are an action, blood & gore person forget it. If you love a wonderful movie, with great scenery, this is your
movie. Christina Ricci, Suzie, is amazing in this role. She
can show more emotion with a simple look, than most actors ever
show. As a young Russian Jewish girl, beautifully played by
young Claudia Lander-Duke, she is forced to flee Russia, and trying to get to America, where her father went looking for the American Dream, she is sent to England instead. Sent to live
with foster parents who show no emotions, she is told she must
"fit in", and instead of living her life, she attempts to live
the life that people she meets want her to live. Suzie loves
to sing, but takes a job in France as a dancer, to try to get
to America. In France, Suzie meets Lola, played by Cate Blanchett, in her dance troup, a golddigger, who really loves Suzie, but her fear of going back to the the proverty of Russia, make her make decisions that are bad for her. Dante Dominio,
John Turturro, an Italian opera tenor whose self-centerness stems from his desire to prove his mother's sacrifices for him were worth it, seems to be Lola's dreams come true, but although, he takes Lola, he really desires Suzie. Cezar, played brillantly by Johnny Depp, the gypsy with nothing, but the love of Suzie's life, for with Cezar she finds herself, the real
Suzie. This movie brings to life what it must have really
been like Pre-World War II France, with all the prejudices
and fears of the different classes of people. One critic
said Christina Ricci and Johnny Depp have no chemistry, wrong...these two can can take your breath away with just a look. Cate Blanchett is beautiful, and your heart will go out to her. John Turturro, you will love to hate. I have never seen a movie only 90 minutes long that could bring so many characters to life, and by the end you feel you really know all of them, their wants, needs, and desires, and you feel real
empathy with them. From its beautiful scenery, to the breath-taking opera songs, this movie has it all. I am so glad I did
not follow the movie critics reviews, and decided to order
the DVD. I have now watched this movie four (4) times, and
may watch it 40 more. It is a got to see, no matter what you
read. Maybe Sally Potter should do a Man Who Cried Part II,
to see what happens to Suzie and Cesar after the war. Five
Stars for all....
