DVD Reviews of The Bridges of Madison County (Deluxe Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: A love postcard for Iowa!
Summary: 5 Stars

"Madison bridge county" was for Eastwood a truly turning point along the films of his successful career.

This romantic movie has a factor so crucial that becomes the main strength. The presence of the pleasant and hyper talented actress Merryl Streep, the most natural actress in the last five decades in U.S.A. And I think to myself Eastwood grew up as actor with such partner.

The classic script is supported, improved and even enhanced by her superb skills. Bear in mind, for instance, her corporal and sign language enrich the inner world of this unsatisfied woman, whose desire resides in being kept in mind regarded and respected far beyond her place as wife and mother.

On the other hand, the subtle camera use is admirable, intimate and extremely depictive. Every frame and every shot before the unerring encounter talks by itself.

It's obvious this movie is a clever spin of the famous David Lean's "Brief encounter", perhaps a mite overlong, but extremely touching, kind and suggestive.

DVD Review: repeat viewings required
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a film that I first dismissed as corny, but as time has passed I can now appreciate the struggles of the protagonists in middle-age angst, tempted by the overwhelming feelings that love can bring. The book was horrific tripe, but the film is done well, thanks to C Eastwood who is masterful as a director and actor, not to mention to the incredible Ms. Streep (as always!)

DVD Review: WONDERFUL LOVE, ROMANCE DRAMA
Summary: 4 Stars

BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY THE NAME SPEAKS FOR IT SELF, MY WIFE ENJOYS THIS MOVIES AS WELL AS ME. SEE THIS MOVIE SHOWS WHAT CAN HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH ROUTINE AND HOW YOU CAN KEEP A SECRET SO BOT TO HURT ANYONE BY KNOWING YOU MADE A MISTAKE. THEN YOU MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR FAMILY EVEN THOUGH YOU FEKT TRAP. SO I RECOMMEND TO MAKE THIS A MOVIE NIGHT WITH POPCORN AND SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH THE SPOUSE SO IT DONT HAPPEN TO YOU.

Description of The Bridges of Madison County (Deluxe Widescreen Edition)

World-traveling National Geographic photographer Robert Kincaid and Iowa housewife Francesca Johnson aren't looking to turn their lives upside down. Each is at a point in life where expectations are behind them. Yet four days after meeting they wont want to lose the love they've found. Academy Award winners' Meryl Streep (earning her 10th Oscar nomination for this performance) and Clint Eastwood (who also produces and directs) bring blazing starpower and powerful conviction to the beloved characters of Robert James Waller's best seller of love choice and consequence. With luck a love like that happens to some of us sooner or later. For Robert and Francesca it was later. And it was glorious.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA/LOVE & ROMANCE UPC:?085391157212 Manufacturer No:?115721

Some called it a snooze-fest, while others tearfully clutched their Kleenex. In any case, Clint Eastwood was an unusual and (as it turned out) perceptive choice to direct and costar in this lush adaptation of Robert James Waller's phenomenally bestselling novel. Meryl Streep costars as Francesca, the lonely Iowa farmer's wife who is instantly attracted to Robert (Eastwood), the photographer from National Geographic who is in the area to photograph the bridges along Iowa's rural roadways. The two fall in love while Francesca's husband and children are away at a county fair, but the story's passion and lasting appeal derive from their decision to part forever after just a few brief days of intimate connection. Superbly acted with an emphasis on quiet, graceful moments of tender revelation, the film builds to a crescendo of powerful and conflicting emotions. Like David Lean's Brief Encounter (to which it bears marked similarities), The Bridges of Madison County is destined to become one of the classic movie love stories. --Jeff Shannon
