Customer Reviews of In Love and War
Well done despite historical inaccuracies Curiosity after reading "A Farewell to Arms" led to the diaries of Agnes von Kurowsky and ultimately to Sir Attenborough's film. The fact that the film takes some liberties with the actual timeline of the story (Agnes' assignments, her non-existent reunion with Hemingway in Missouri), the film itself was heartbreakingly beautiful. Chris O'Donnell did a fine job as the young Ernest Hemingway, but I wonder why the vibrant, flirtatious Aggie was played with such serious somberness by Sandra Bullock? The Agnes we read about in the book was indeed a serious and committed nurse, but her personality was the polar opposite of the film portrayal. This is not to say that Sandra Bullock is a bad actress - I just think the direction for her character was wrong.
Ernest Hemingway clearly loved Agnes von Kurowsky with a passion that could only be fulfilled on the written page. For both parties involved, the timing of the love affair was ill-fated.
dull, Bullock couldn't save it
I've become an admirer of Sandra Bullock, so I've been trying to see all the films where she had a major role... Yet I just couldn't watch "In Love and War" all the way through. It just lacks energy. Bullock looked pretty in the nurse's outfit . . . but somehow she looked out of place. I've read the five star reviews rhapsodizing about this movie, and I find myself wondering if I watched the same film. My advice would be to skip buying it and rent it if you absolutely must. But if you want to see Bullock in an overlooked movie in which she shines, I'd recommend "Love Potion #9."
In Love and War
I was first struck my the musical score which was so rich and
colorful. Add to that the superb performances on the parts
of Sandra Bullock and Chris O'Donnell and you have a winner. It is therefore no suprise that the film won high honors. I think Sir Richard Attenborough's direction was suberb in every sense of the word. Such an evocotave story with war as a backdrop truly brought forth an emotional tension that is hard to describe. I also thought the supporting actors must have been hand picked because they fitted so easily in to the very fabric of the film. I certainly give this film a roaring "Five Star"
rating.
