Movie Reviews of Waking the Dead
Movie Review: A Masterfully Powerful Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I just returned from seeing this film. I viewed it at my college's Film Club. I had never heard of this movie but I think Jennifer Connelly is a great actress, so I was eager to see another movie with her in it. This movie is a powerful mixture of radical and conformal political ideologies. I would go so far as to compare these two fields to Capulets and Montagues in the love story that is intertwined into the plot. What I liked most about this film was the artful taste to leave the end up to the viewer. In the end believe what you wish, only know this is a film experience to be had. Five stars all the way.Movie Review: Amazing Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the few movies that I have seen that I think is better than the book. Not that the Scott Spencer novel is bad (I would give it four stars), but I think that the fact that the movie refuses to answer the central question of whether or not Sarah really is alive (and not by a screen turning black, but by focusing the attention on Fielding's point of view instead) adds to the mysterious elements of the plot. Jump at the chance to buy this movie. It is one of the best of the last ten years, and a bit of an undiscovered gem.Movie Review: Heartbreaking . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the few movies that caused me to burst into tears and weep like a baby. Losing someone you dearly love is rough and if you have experienced that this might be a tough movie to get through. Highly recommend Scott Spencer's book too, Keith Gordon did make a few changes but I think it was the right move.Movie Review: Really good movie.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice chemistry between Jennifer Connelly and Billy Crudup. One of those somber open to interpretation movies. Very subtle and saddened love mood set during the whole movie. The Constant Gardener seems to borrow heavily from it if you ask me.
Really solid movie and worth a purchase.
Movie Review: Great for widescreen and surround sound
Summary: 5 Stars
Since there are lots of reviews about how good the film is, I'll limit my comments to the DVD. Presented in anamorphic widescreen with options of 2.0 stereo or 5.1 surround sound, it looked and sounded great on my HDTV with upconvert DVD player!
