This movie brings tears to your eyes This performance is the best ever of Bette Midler.....Movie Review: Drugs, sex and Rock 'N' Roll
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good movie (and cheap! While I'm writing this it's only $6,99) that tells us the story of a Rock Singer, The Rose, inspired in the life of Janis Joplin, kind of. Bette Midler sings all the songs and her role here is terrific. The movie is from the late 70's, so don't expect fancy film effects. Just enjoy the performances by Midler and the aura of those old Rock 'N' Roll artists who gave everything for their audiences, maybe a little bit too much. Those were the times where there was no difference between show and life. Those were the times when an artist could just drop by any Night Club/Hole any city in the US and give their very best, just for the sake of Art. Enjoy this movie and if you can, buy the Soundtrack as well. The Rose, the song that closes the credits in the movie, is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever listened to.
Recommended to any Bette Midler fan, to sex-drugs-& R'N'R fans, and to all Rock fans from the 60's, 70's, and fans to Janis Joplin. Rated R for drug use, alcohol abuse and strong language. After all of these, there is an after-sex scene where The Rose is in bed but you see her "purely" covered so we can't see anything. Makes no sense, but those were the 70's. This movie is in Peter Travers 1000 Best DVD's list and I rate it 8,5/10.
Movie Review: "Where's everybody going!?"
Summary: 4 Stars
"The Rose" stars Bette Midler as Mary Rose better known as just "The Rose". Rose's charactor often resembles the 60's sensation, Janis Joplin. Joplin was called "Pearl" while Mary Rose was called "Rose" as well as many other aspects that they share that I am sure that you can figure out without me pointing them out pretty easily without even seeing the film ...
Personally I enjoyed the film Thoroughly, I thought that the screenplay was well done, the direction was pretty descent & even the visuals were pretty cool for the 1970's BUT it is Bette Midlers performance that really lifts the film into greatness.
Midler nails all the details in her performance. Not only does she act superbly but also sings like a 60's rock star with extraordinary ease. Her facial expressions and body movements are timed perfectly and just about everything that an actress should do, she does ... perfectly.
Without midler this is a mediocre film that can be easily forgotten but her gut wrentching performance makes "The Rose" one of the best films of the later 70's.
Grade: B+ (Close to an A-)
