DVD Reviews of True Women
DVD Review: the best..
Summary: 5 Stars
true women is the best movie.its true down to the roots.makes you think of times gone by. my favorits movie of all times.and has great actors.DVD Review: Great for women, inspiring for Men!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one great story. The actors are all great and do a creditable job. I don't know how much is historically accurate but I wouldn't be surprised if much of it actually happened and it is a great review of early Texas history. A must in any historian's visual library.
Super entertainment!
DVD Review: Flawed history and unrelenting misery
Summary: 1 Stars
I tried to like this movie, but I could not get past the historical inaccuracies and the unending tragedies that are heaped upon the women in this tale. I had hoped for a good western showing women victorious in their efforts. Instead the women are portrayed as heroines simpy because they were victims. If you get burned, slaughtered, widowed, raped or hung, you are a true woman, as if suffering defines a woman...what drivel. And racial issues are reduced to tired old cliches in the hands of the feuding friends. Surely this chapter of American history, and the role of women of the era could have been treated with a bit more intelligence. Or, barring that approach, the film could have been turned into a tongue-in-cheek western with women a-whoopin' and a-hollerin' their way across the plains...a sort of girlie version of "The Magnificent Seven." DVD Review: TOO BAD>>>>>>>>
Summary: 1 Stars
It really is too bad that this movie ended -- with NO ending - this movie had great potential to be a good western - about the life of the women in the frontier but you get to the end and have no resolution about any of the women - you are lead to believe a certain fate for two of the women but never get to really know and they completly forget about Georgia - i would not recommend this movie to a western lover it will only dissapoint youDVD Review: AWESOME MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie, very entertaining, great stars, great quality, condition, and delivery. This movie I reccommend to all women and everyone who loves history, the old west and drama with lots of adventure.
Description of True Women
Spanning 5 decades from the texas revolution through the civil war reconstruction and beyond is a story of love friendship survival and triumph. Studio: Platinum Disc Llc Release Date: 07/06/2004 Starring: Dana Delany Annabeth Gish Run time: 180 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Karen ArthurThis well-acted, sweeping herstorical epic focuses on the lives of three women, beginning in 1853. China Beach's Dana Delany is Sarah, the family matriarch, whose little sister Euphemia (a delightful and empathetic Tina Majorino) has been living with her best friend, Georgia (beautiful Rachael Leigh Cook), and Georgia's parents (Michael York, Julie Carmen) on a large, bucolic Georgia plantation. After the sisters' father dies, Sarah's husband, upstanding Texas Ranger Bartlett (Powers Boothe), takes "Pheemy" down to Peach Tree, Texas, to live with him and Sarah.
Pheemy and Georgia begin a correspondence chronicling their divergent lives. As Pheemy and her family work their farm and battle Santa Ana and hostile Indians, indulged Georgia is coming to terms with her family's greatest secret: she is one-quarter Native American. Majorino and Cook are excellent in their demanding roles and offer a challenge for their adult counterparts (Annabeth Gish as Pheemy, Angelina Jolie as Georgia). This film, originally a TV miniseries, is an earnest attempt to depict the difficult--and often tragic--role women were compelled to endure during this historically rich but phenomenally difficult time. True Women has plenty of action, but relationships, politics, and grim reality are the true focus, as issues of sexuality, prejudice, human rights, and of course slavery are eagerly examined in the frontier setting. The sensitive should be forewarned: it seems like there is a death every five minutes. --N.F. Mendoza
