Movie Reviews of The Old Man and the Sea
Movie Review: A Classic Movie for a Classic Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Hemingway's novel is considered a must read for any journalism student. And I consider the movie a must view for any film student. A classic novel and a classic actor. I think Hemingway and Tracy must have been cast from the same mold.
If your interest is in action, danger, excitement and the like; then pass on this movie. If you love a good narrative, then this is just what you need.
Summary of The Old Man and the Sea
An old cuban fishermans dry spell is broken when he hooks a gigantic fish that drags him out to sea. Based on ernest hemingways story. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Spencer Tracy Run time: 86 minutes Rating: NrThe classic Ernest Hemingway novel about man battling nature and the demons within himself is adapted admirably in this 1958 film starring the legendary Spencer Tracy. Playing the fisherman who goes on an intense and futile quest as he contemplates his own nature, Tracy turns in a spellbinding performance of understated power. He plays an itinerant Cuban fisherman whose luck at catching his prey has been poor of late, until he becomes embroiled in an intense pursuit of a giant marlin and in the process must confront his own frailties. Though the visual aspect of the film seems dated, Tracy is more than enough reason to see this effort at bringing one of the modern classics of literature to life on the screen. --Robert Lane
