The Heiress (1949)
Brilliant superb astonishing movie
I had the pleasure to watch again "The Heiress" 1949 movie tonight, and it is absolutely brilliant! ; what a gem! the script, the directing, set designs, lighting, but above all the acting, are all extraordinary. The performances by the three main characters are simply superb. Olivia De Haviland is utterly convincing in her transition from a, not so young, unwanted and unloved woman, into 3 different phases of her personality as the plot unfolds ; all her acting is beautiful. Montgomery Cliff delivers a great performance and mastery at portraying deceit with a charming smile. Ralph Richardson commands respect and holds an air of definite authority as Catherine's father. His aristocratic demeanor is also very well portrayed for a prominent New York gentleman of the late 1800's. The human tragedy of miscommunication between beings unfolds with impeccable timing. The film by today standards may be considered as slow, but underneath is found a study of characters that runs very deeply. The contrast between the real Love and the pretense is striking. You cannot help but feel sorry for the way the characters are held captives to a set of stiff conventions and untold feelings. A human tragedy at its best.
Windtalkers (2002)
worst movie ever made !!!
I just watched Windtalkers on cable. Thank God I didn't pay money to see it. It may be the worst war movie ever made. No I take that back. It IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE! It's hard to believe that this crap can actually be put out for the public to see.
Jacques Muller on behalf of Gary Mooney Glendale California
I can add for myself that the battle scenes according to real historical army troopers are totally phony ; the guys were mostly using M1 riffles not so many 45 automatics exposing themselves to enemy fire ; I can't beginning to tell you where started this amount of stupidity ; the planes were flying far too low ; etc... etc...
