DVD Reviews of The Long Shot
DVD Review: A long shot not worth watching . . .
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie glorifies a woman's plight in a negative sense - meaning she does over come a lot of adversity for sure and I want to appreciate that - but at the same time it was adversity of her own making. She had some responsibility in this - but the film just makes her a innocent victim. Of course you have to ignore that because we're going to make her into Snow White. The portrait of the man she marries is stereotyped in this movie as a someone who is a COMPLETE loser - but she is the COMPLETE saint & heroine. It doesn't show in great detail how she made such a poor decision in marriage, brought a child into this terrible situation [surely not her fault again] and her responsibility in all this. It is a completely unrealistic view of marriage and 2 people [her and her unfaithful husband] - because no one can be as bad as him and no one can be as good as her; real life at close range is just very different. And the potential sutor that starts to come into the picture at the end . . . . he's just as totally unrealistic and wimpy . . . . He's a guy that adores her way of thinking, never disagrees with her, is totally in orbit around her life, has all the time & money in the world to just follow her around and thinks she can do no wrong. The little girl, who wants her original Daddy in the beginning [usually true in real life] also makes a weak attempt at holding on to some sense of true values. But we're really going to wash this movie out - so the daughter eventually realizes her Daddy a bum too. But Mommy is going to make it all better . . . . This poor movie washes out any family love and any redeeming love toward Daddy in the end too - along with our having to swallow 100% empathy for our Mrs Snow White. Ignore also that Snow White pushes her way into jobs, situations and into people's lives - even the other characters are eventually going to look a her with nothing but stars in their eyes.
And we want to call this a family movie???? This just teaches the viewpoint of selfishness - in a woman's sense. Who wants to sit their family down and show them 2 people that can't grow up and keep their commitments to really being a family - and then call this a "family movie"? She's just as bitter and angry toward him in the end as he was toward her - but she's justified??? This type of current thinking in our culture of "a flexable family" with new fathers & mothers coming in and out is beyond me. I suppose if you throw a horse in we can give up all the human values that should be present???? Maybe Lassie can run across the screen and that will save this story too???? Surely Lassie can make this a family film!
Give me a Sarah - Plain and Tall - who advocates commitment and stands by her decisions - and I'll call that a family movie and something worth watching.
