DVD Reviews of The Man From Snowy River
DVD Review: One of those Give-it-all-you-got and Throw-caution-to-the-wind kind of stories
Summary: 5 Stars
THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER has earned its place as a unique and inspiring Western. It was the first Western I ever saw at the cinema (I was about 7 years old at the time), and I saw it at a time in my life when all I was interested in were spaceships and lightsabers.
I recently watched it again for the first time in many, many years. Once again, the mystically poetic music captured my attention as did the beautiful Australian scenery. But also for the first time, I noticed one of the strong core themes of this movie: stay focused on the goal and keep going. That's what the hero, Jim Craig, does all throughout the film. Even in times of hardship, unfairness, and heartbreak, he always keeps his virtue and courage fully intact. My favorite--and probably everyone else's favorite--scene is where he keeps chasing the horses (or "Brumbies") down the steep mountainside even after the older and more experiences horsemen gave up. Given the kind of determination and rigid focus that Jim Craig had, I think he would have ridden down that mountain even if it were on fire!
This is one of many things that make this film great. And once again, I will add that the music is wonderful. "Jessica's Sonata" has now become one of the most recognizable piano pieces, even though many people would not know where it originated from. It's the kind of music that stays with you long after you've seen the movie.
DVD Review: A GREAT OLD WESTERN MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a good movie for all that love the good old days, ranch life and old school romance. I plan on getting, RETURND TO SNOWY RIVER. Can't wait to see what's in store for young couple.DVD Review: Man From Snowy River DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a well told story of a mountain boy's journey to manhood. The plot of the story is not be out-done by the breath-taking views of the Australian mountain regions. The first movie was very well done that I hear a sequel has already been completed. If you want to watch a movie that will take you away from your everyday problems, this one is definitely the one to watch.DVD Review: A Family Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
I just love this movie! So when my VHS copy got ruined, I replaced it with a DVD. The movie is clean...great for all ages. I look forward to watching it with my grandkids someday.DVD Review: Do you like horses, romance and action?
Summary: 4 Stars
Before "Quigley Down Under" and before "Australia" there was "The Man from Snowy River" this is the best story about a Buckaroo.
Description of The Man From Snowy River
With its unforgettably heroic story, its stunning cinematography, and acting performances that are uniformly excellent, THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER is one thrilling adventure you won't want to miss. Set during the 1880's, when the Australian frontier was as wild and dangerous as the American West, the film follows the exploits of a handsome youth (Tom Burlinson) who sets out to tame a wild herd of horses. Taking on a challenge many men had attempted before him, he rides deep into the treacherous and untamed wilderness of his native timberlands where boys become men fast - or die trying. Featuring Kirk Douglas in a remakable dual role and highlighted by a climactic chase involving 40 horsemen and 90 wild stallioins thundering across snow-covered peaks, THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER is destined to become a legendary film!A conventional boy-and-his-horse story set against the red rocks of remote Australian mountains. (If there's a wide-screen edition, grab it. The scenery is one of the movie's strongest features.) Tom Burlinson is Jim Craig, a young man left stranded after his father's death who is struggling to save the family farm. He proves his manhood during a hair-raising hunt over the wooded slopes in search of an escaped stallion. The great, grizzled, Australian character actor Jack Thompson (the idealistic lawyer in Breaker Morant) is the tough, older horseman who takes the lad under his wing. The director, George Miller (not to be confused with the action-master who made the Mad Max films) allows costar Kirk Douglas to mug and grimace and prance far too much in a duel role as a pair of lovable old coots who hate each other's guts. Luckily, one of the coots has a handsome daughter (Sigrid Thornton, an Elizabeth McGovern-type with grit), who also has a way with horses. So it isn't all rocks and pine trees. --David Chute
