 Written on March 8, 2007 Summary: DVD : Film 'Whats Love Got To Do With It' No problem with delivery, but when tried to play it, found it was not compatable with my DVD player here in the UK. Got it to work on a friends so not a total waste. I don't recall seeing any warnings that product may not be compatable. I think that when supplier is selling internationally then warnings should be given or sale should not be proceeded with.  Written on March 1, 2007 Summary: "My name is Tina Turner and my husband and I have had an argument. I have 32 cents in my pocket. If you give me a room I promise you I will pay you back as soon as I can." And if this powerful scene of a battered and bruised Tina Turner from the hands of Ike Turner, fleeing to a nearby hotel - a star performer known throughout the world - with only change in her pocket, doesn't move you, then you just don't get it. Angela Bassett won Golden Globe and NAACP Image awards for her portrayal of Tina Turner in the 1993 release that was based on the best-selling autobiography, I, Tina. Laurence Fishburne turns in a fantastic performance as Ike Turner. The movie follows the life of Anna Mae Bullock from Nutbush, Tennessee to St. Louis - where she meets Ike Turner - and to what appeared to be a charmed life of international music stars. But success came with a harsh price for Tina Turner. As her popularity grew, Ike Turner became physically and verbally abusive. Fueling this cowardly anger with cocaine, he openly flaunted his affairs while being surrounded by a group of enablers, who said nothing as long as the party never stopped. Tina Turner finally finds the courage to leave the relationship and rebuild her shattered personal & professional life. The final scene brings even more powerful meaning to the song, What's Love Got To Do With It, which streaked to number one in the Billboard Hot 100 chart on September 1, 1984. A man like Ike Turner who physically and mentally abuses a woman is a sick bully and coward. In the divorce proceedings, though Tina Turner agreed to sign away any claim to future record royalties and publishing rights to their music, Ike Turner - who played a bizarre victim card - also wanted her stage name, claiming, "That name's got my daddy's blood written all over it." He was so wrong; it wasn't his daddy's blood written all over it. Anna Mae Bullock got to keep the name that she made even more famous as a solo artist, author and - perhaps, most importantly - as a woman who showed the fortitude to leave an abusive relationship and take control of her life.  Written on February 19, 2007 Summary: Disappointing and simplistic I love Tina Turner and expected better from this film. I suppose it is really hard to do justice to a living artist in a biopic, but the people who made RAY and WALK THE LINE did a superb job, in my opinion. I was bothered by two things: the acting and appearance of Angela Bassett and the one-sidedness of the story. Angela certainly tried hard and obviously a whole lot of people loved her performance. I wasn't one of them. True, she mastered Tina's facial gestures and movements but she missed the essence. Whenever I see Tina I see joyful exuberance; when I saw Angela-as-Tina, I saw painful frenzy. Well, maybe back in the days Tina was with Ike, her performances were pained; I only saw her in her latter post-Ike days. Angela certainly did try hard and I give her credit for that, but, physically and emotionally, she is just not Tina. She is scrawny and bony and perhaps should have gained weight for the role. She played the innocent, perky country girl well and the long-suffering victim well, but I didn't find her believable in the strong and victorious parts. I was relieved to see the real Tina in the final scene--a woman with some meat on her bones and spunk in her singing. As for the story, as has already been mentioned here, it's one-sided. Ike must have had something going for him for Tina to have stayed with him for 18 years. She is portrayed as the complete angel-victim and he is the complete devil. I don't believe it and others here have filled in the story with some facts that the movie ignored. I can see why Fishburne originally refused the role, as one-dimensional. He does very well with what he was given, but a much better picture could have been made out of a more realistic and balanced rendering of both characters. Written on January 17, 2007 Summary: loved it i enoyed the acting in this movie, laurence fishburne, did a superb job as ike turner. Angela Bassett was also wonderful as Tina Turner, I would recommend this movie to anyone over 30=5, who could appreciate Tina. Written on August 17, 2006 Summary: LOVE THIS MOVIE LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie. It's one of my all time favorites. It contains a little bit of everything from humor to drama to lots of entertainment. The color is great, the sound is good, the songs and dances will make you want to sing and dance along with them. It's very fun to watch. I believe everyone should have this movie in their collection. You'll never get tired of watching it. |
