Movie Reviews of The Razor's Edge
Movie Review: A lost prospective
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie echo's the foundation of my life. The main character of the movie (who seeks his true purpose in life) is me just before I found my true purpose in life. Not enough people can relate to this sort of thing; but if you can, you are fortunate indeed. We all have a purpose in life, but few of us realize it. If you can relate to the main character -then this movie relates to you. What is the purpose of this movie? Is it to entertain, or to set us upon the right track? There is something wrong in society when most of the people who write movies today are philosophizers of mostly infantile or vile humor, horrible scenes of violence, or other evidence of disconnection. This film should redistribute a not too stagnant sense of awareness within those who merit it. I am a philosopher and writer of aphorisms (thematic verse) whose work can be found at (...).Movie Review: Before PTSD
Summary: 5 Stars
I am "hooked" on Bill Murray's "The Razor's Edge" and have recommended it to both PTSD sufferers and to family members for a different type of insight than "The Deer Hunter" and other PTSD movies. In this version the book is followed much more closely and a slightly different slant is given to the character "Larry" but the amazing thing is the way that the PTSD that Larry suffers shows through. I have recently purchased both versions for a friend of mine in the medical field who will be stationed in Afgan soon - hoping they watch both (along with some of Paul Fussell's books) prior to being in country and having to deal with the very problems projected by "Larry" in both versions of this outstanding novel adaptation.Movie Review: Thank you, The Razor's Edge
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank you, The Razor's Edge.
A man in search of his purpose and reason in life. One who lived in a world of the lost, but not lost himself. A timely incident made him realise the fragility of life and the thin, very thin line between life and death stirred an indescribable hunger for meaning, and that ignited his search henceforth.
I picked up several important pointers from this meaningful work of art, a good reminder that life is not an empty seek of mere material wealth and riches.
Tyrone Power(Larry) and Gene Tierney(Isabel) passed away at the ages of 44 and 71 respectively. Life's too short to waste time over trivials.We are not here by accident.
Movie Review: mature masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
'The Razor's Edge' is truly a rare masterpiece. this movie is slowly paced but not at all plodding. a profound message lies within the sophisticated dialogue. the viewer must have a mature patience to reap the enriching experience from this excellent film. this one was definitely a superior film. it deserved the oscar but unfortunately there were 2 other masterpieces released tha year (1946), one of which garnered the oscar (The Best Years Of Our Lives). a true classic that deserves more recognition than it has received thru the years.
as for the DVD, it is a good clean transfer. the only true extra is the commentary. it is still well worth the money.
Movie Review: razor's edge
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Fox movie with an overwhelming cast. Maugham does a Herman Hesse thing that certainly moved types toward non-conformity. I'm certain this flick had a lasting impression on Jack Kerouac. He must have seen it while at Columbia University. The beat era had it's roots with this film. Clifton Webb's portrayal of uncle Elliot a gem. The song Mamoselle has a lasting effect on the production.
