Movie Reviews of The Sun Also Rises
Movie Review: Hemingway early
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sun Also Rises DVD
The Sun Also Rises is based on the novel by that name by the Master Earnest Hemingway. It is one of his earliest novels about the Lost Generation in Europe post World War I, or the War to End All Wars as it was known at the time. It stars Tyrone Powers and Ava Gardner.
More cerebral than action oriented.
Recommended for Hemingway fans.

Movie Review: ernest hemingway
Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be included as one of Papa's great stories. In this Fox CinemaScope version it looks fantastic. Although not much of a plot it is great to see it restored so well by Fox. Bring on the CinemaScope classics please, please, Sun Also Rises looks great and sounds great in surround sound. Sit down with a glass of wine and share the Hemingway experience.Movie Review: Why is it not in Widescreen?...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie. As it was originally shown in Widescreen, why is the DVD not available in Widescreen? After we've waited this long to get it, don't disappoint us!Movie Review: Watch This Movie & Find The Meaninglessness of Your Life
Summary: 4 Stars
Many reviews of this film like to take issue with its meandering, aimless plot that starts anywhere and leads nowhere. The bad news is that criticism is spot on. The good news is that's the point exactly. You see, Hemingway is trying to show what happens to the first generation that loses its faith in reason, science, and progress. Instead of perfecting society, humanity, and the world, these ideals have only led to more effective, more efficient ways of killing our neighbors on a global scale. How to live when there is nothing left to believe in? Watch this film and find out! Ask yourself, are these characters so different from you and me? Tyrone Power is impotent. So are we. Wealth, fame, power -- our worldly pleasures are insatiable. Errol Flynn is a hopeless drunk. Our pleasures are also unfulfilling. Ava Gardner is an aging beauty. Even when a few of us manage to attain our worldly desires, they are fleeting, we just can't hold on to them. This film is more relevant today than it ever was. If you hit yourself on the head with a book, and you hear a hollow sound, it doesn't always mean the book is empty.Movie Review: Good classic with awesome actors
Summary: 4 Stars
I was interested in watching this movie since I had read the book when I was a teen. The book was written by Ernest Hemingway. Because of censorship rules not everything from the book was able to be put forth on the screen. Watching the special features reminded me of this fact.
Special Features include:
* The Old Men and The Bulls: The Making of "The Sun Also Rises"
* Hemingway on Film
* A Conversation with Director Henry King
The main character actors are some pretty well known and respected persons: Ava Gardner (Lady Brett Ashley), Tyrone Power (Jake Barnes), Errol Flynn (Mike Campbell), Mel Ferrer (Robert Cohn), and Eddie Albert (Bill Gorton).
It is over two hours. The pace seemed pretty good - kept me interested. There's drama and romance and adventure. The story's backdrop is Paris and Spain. It includes the running of the bulls and some bull fighting.
We picked up this Studio Classic as part of a 4 disc set celebrating the 75th anniversary of 20th Century Fox.
