DVD Reviews of A Walk in the Clouds
DVD Review: Dissapointed
Summary: 1 Stars
When I received the package I realized that I had been sent the wrong movie. I ordered "A Walk in the Clouds." I was mailed "A Walk to Remember." I paid the shipping to mail the incorrect DVD back to the vendor and now over a month later I still have not received the movie I originally purchased. I am frustrated at the money and time wasted. I am also dissapointed in the lack of concern on the vendor's part. They told me they never received the incorrect DVD back and that was the last I heard from them.DVD Review: Outstanding Historical Flavor
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is right on in depiction of attitudes and atmosphere during the immediate post-war(WWII)era. DVD Review: Love It!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is beautiful in so many ways: a beautiful romantic story, compelling characters, and some of the most gorgeous scenery in ages. Give it a chance, you'll love it.DVD Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite romantic movies. It is beautifully shot, and incredibly romantic.
I will not rehash the plot summary, as many reviews have already done so, but I will say that I liked the storyline and the characters. First the hero, who had just returned from WWII, only to have his wife push him out the door to go and sell chocolates to bring money. Then there's the heroine who was duped, used and dumped by her professor, and now in need of help, so the hero offers to pretend to be her husband for a few days, so that her family will not be heart broken. I loved that the hero did not cheat on his wife, but rather went back only to find her cheating and then he obtained a divorce and returned to the heroine to offer his love and a real marriage.
Then there is the grandfather, who's character was funny and deep. To the father who is harsh and controling, but he does it all out of his desire to protect his family, but in the process he has forgotten how to love them, which is something he admits in the end.
Basically this is a beautiful love story, that reminds one of the beauty of the human spirit, and the values of honor and chivalry.
Simply beautiful.
DVD Review: Very good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so good! The characters treat each other with love and respect. Keanu Reeves' character is in love with his pretend wife but does not act on it because he is married to someone else. How often is that portrayed in a movie? I was not embarrassed to watch this with my teenage daughter.
Description of A Walk in the Clouds
After returning from World War II, a young G.I. (Keanu Reeves) finds he has little in common with the wife he left behind. Disillusioned, he heads north to work as a travelling salesman where he meets the daughter (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon) of a wealthy vineyard owner (Giancarlo Giannini). On her way home, she is unmarried and pregnant. The young man gallantly offers to help by posing as her husband for one night, unaware that doing so will change both of their lives forever.Keanu Reeves is completely wooden in this romantic misfire by Alfonso Arau (Like Water for Chocolate). Reeves plays a World War II vet who hits the road as a traveling salesman and agrees to help a desperate, pregnant woman (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon)--who is afraid to let her father (Giancarlo Giannini) see her condition--by pretending to be her husband. Most of the story takes place in the old man's vineyard, and Arau makes a life of swollen fruit, grape-stomping, sunlight, and tan flesh that looks amazingly erotic. But there are plenty of sillier distractions, such as the sight of farm hands chasing insects with flapping gossamer wings attached to their arms. Reeves is terribly self-conscious, while stalwart Anthony Quinn is memorable as the damsel's benevolent grandfather. --Tom Keogh
