The Prince of Tides (1991)
A Devastating ending....
Let me not say too much about the whole movie itself. Needless to say it is an amazing traumatic movie, with tons of sadness and pain. But i must talk about one thing: the ending. Towards the ending of the movie, the brother (nick nolte) and the psychologist Lowenstine (Barbra streinsand) who had a pretty rough beginning, fall in love. they are both betrayed spouses. one of the times after they were making love, she kisses his chest and asks him: "what will we do when she wants you back?", referring to his wife, with whom he had problems and who confessed about committing an adultery. and then one day he gets a phone call from his wife, asking him to come back home to her and their three daughters. we don't hear the context of the conversation but we can understand. and then, he goes to Lowenstine's (barbra) workplace. SPOILER ALERT the moment she goes out of the building and sees him across the street, we see she can understand. we see the tremendous sadness on her face. then she approaches to him, they hug and cry, speechless. then we can see he's going back to his family, and the closing monologue, which i don't intend to quote here is just devastating. it goes with me ever since i saw the movie. it doesn't come out of my head. It's a tears-ending. guaranteed. go watch it NOW!
Deadly Summer (1997)
A touching simpleness
Watching that movie happened totally by chance. i bumped into it while zupping, and felt like keep watching it. it was capturing by its simpleness. very attractive shots and visuals. the view of the village, the village people, the local coffee chop. Linda reminded me sometimes of Katey Bates' acting. the story of the movie consists of two unhappy couples, trying to show the exact opposite. it's a movie about the human greediness and about superficial men, whose wives only wants a fair and caring treatment. one day the hosting couple have a fight, and the wife accidently kills her husband (by throwing a metal ball at him and causing him to fall off the bridge they were standing on, into the river). Linda's husband is insulting her and criticizing her non stop. i won't tell you any longer in order to let you get your own impression of the complicated relations between the people. and there's a pleasant surprise at the end (well, pleasant for Linda...) enjoy.
Todo sobre mi madre (1999)
Todo sobre mi padre
Before I start talking too much, let me first say: GO SEE THAT MOVIE !
not only it has a wonderful plot, touching acting and unique incidents, but also it is made aesthetically, with great shots, and amazing ideas. for example, at the beginning of the movie, when the boy is writing in his diary, the director chose to show the paper's point of view, and so you see a pencil's tip pointed at the viewers. moreover, some specific shots, of barcelona from above, was breathtaking. now about the plot, i must say that the repeating indications of the boy's searches for his father... and the facts that we know and that the mother didn't have the chance to tell her son... about lola, it has a very strong emotional effect, and when lola reads esteban's diary (at the end of the movie), i must say it made me cry. the good thing, after watching such a tragic film is the happy ending... to sum this up - go see the movie !!! now !
Beaches (1988)
realistic touching movie
I must say, that this movie is incredible. it is only the fifth time i watched it that i didn't cry in the end. for me, bette midler is nothing else but CC blum. the movie shows us one of the biggest enemies of true friendships: jealousy. and it also shows that once you are honest and talk about things, you can make it through. it is an amazing touching movie, that is so sad from so many aspects. i think the cardiological disease is symbolic to a broken heart. I really recommend everyone to see this movie and bawl their eyes out. i really don't know how anyone can rate this movie 0. TAKE IT !!!
