 Written on January 15, 2007 Summary: Scent of a Woman Excellent movie! Not a chick flick - great for both men and women. Highly recommend this movie. Written on January 10, 2007 Summary: Not many films like this. A must watch film. A very remarkable film. It takes student Charlie Simms, played by Chris O'Donell, doing something different from most people at a very rich college. Thanksgiving will have Charlie working. He gets a job taking care of Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, played by Al Pacino. Frank is not an easy person to get along with, even with the patient Charlie. Frank is also blind. The two of them both have problems to deal with during the course of the film. It's Frank who starts the journey for them, with Charlie not having much choice. Frank wants to experience again the finer things in life. The simple things that he cannot do anymore. Besides Frank going after his desires, he starts getting interested in Charlie's life. They learn a lot about life together, Frank experiencing loss and anger. Charlie confused and not knowing what to do with an ultimate decision. All this in one film is fantastic, and I have not seen many films cover so much. Written on December 24, 2006 Summary: So gripping, I could not turn away! I finally saw what all the "hoo-hah!" has been about when I stumbled into this Pacino tour de force yesterday on HBO. Changing channels, I caught this about five minutes into the start, and Al Pacino would not let me go for the next two-and-a-half hours! He won a Best Actor Oscar for this with good reason as the "Colonel" who uses his bluster to hide a deep depression. Forget about the career Chris O'Donnell has had since then, for Pacino could not be as good or believable, especially in the climactic scene, without O'Donnell to play against. Brace yourself for a scene on location in Brooklyn that's a little undercut today due to a shot of the lower Manhattan skyline with the Twin Towers visible, but the movie and Pacino are so powerful, it is not really distracting. Written on December 23, 2006 Summary: Great character acting with a moving and powerful plot This is a great movie and Al Pacino certainly does a great job of playing a difficult and enigmatic character. I particularly like the ending where the Colonel brings forward his best qualities that are laying dormant for much of the movie. If you are familiar with Enneagram types, this character is an Enneagram Eight. This type is known to have a gruff exterior, a fear of vulnerability, but a very big heart. There is a lot of drama, funny moments and a plot that will hold anyone's attention. The movies makes the point of the importance of good character and points out a lot of the hypocricy of contemporary society in both direct and indirect ways. Also, this movie is interesting because of the struggles with uncertainty, ambiguity, the problems of being human and the problems inherent in living up to high ideals. The young companion of the Colonel also does a great job in this movie. As the plot develops, a significant and moving relationship forms. This is a nice inspirational, humorous and entertaining movie. How can you really miss with Al Pacino?! Written on November 4, 2006 Summary: Al Pacino is Wonderful One of the greatest speeches ever found in a Hollywood movie (except for Patton) is given by Al Pacino in this movie (I supposed this is one of the reasons why he won an Academy Award for 1993 as Best Actor). This is a little known movie with such great performances and acting all around. Rather long, the movie is about a retired, blind, bitter, Army Lieutenant Colonel (played by Al Pacino) and a young preppie (played by Chris O'Donnell). Both spending a wild weekend in New York City, both facing crisis in their lives, both learning about each other, both acquiring strength from each other to continuing on.(I am not saying more about the plot as it will spoil the fun). I seen this movie for under $5.00 in a retailing store. What a shame, such a performance and great movie is worth a lot more!!!! Go buy it, is worth every penny (which is what you paying for it today). The haunting sound of an English Horn in the beginning and end sets the character of this movie, beautiful and great. |
