Nonureva Really Surprised!
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
travdougal Anyone who has been struck by the lightning bolt of an affair that came out of nowhere will identify 100% with this one. I had read the book many years ago, but never seen the film until this year (2018). Eastwood really has produced a classic masterpiece. As others have said, the (over)acting by the son which really grates a bit, but after the 'flash forward ' shots of his the relief and enjoyment of getting back to the sensitivity and passion of the affair is all the more enjoyable. The fact this film is still fresh and grips one's attention after nearly 25 years speaks volumes.
Yarton Cajos Enduring happiness with a "soul mate" is a goal to which most people would aspire. Concluding you've found it after a 4-day encounter is probably not the wisest decision you will ever make. It's an exciting escape, but of questionable value upon which to build a relationship. In only 4 days, they've already have two arguments. Francesca's family lets the door slam, which bothers her, but she takes no issue with Richard sitting at the dinner table and flicking his cigarette ashes on the floor. How long would that tolerance last? She plays Italian opera on the radio (does such a station really exist in rural Iowa?), which her children rudely change without even asking. Yet, she doesn't seem to care that the radio plays light jazz (not Italian opera) when Richard is there. Richard "helps" her in the kitchen for probably a grand total of 2 minutes while she does all the prep, cooking, and clean-up. True "love" is blind, I guess. A sentimental tale, but not realistic. And definitely not a moral lesson.
Miguel Neto The Bridges of Madison County is another film featuring Clint Eastwood both in direction and acting in this movie he's well on both, especially in the direction, execution, at times he seems affected, perhaps the script, the plot is interesting, although not original, since the film is based on a novel, the cast is efficient, our main Meryl Streep, one of the best actresses of all time, which is one of his best performances, it is the best thing the film, your character works very well dramatically and in moments of romance, photography of the film is good, I did not like the soundtrack, I found it well wearisome, and the pace of the film is about, I think he should have about 15 minutes less, the main characters are even well developed, and the end of the film is good, the Bridges of Madison County is a cool movie romance, is not the best work of Clint Eastwood more is watchable, especially the good performances, especially Meryl Streep this excellent. Note 6.6
seb38416 Some films come and go before you could say "yawn". Some will stay with you for a long time. This one is one of them,it is something that I would proudly remember the title, however long it is.Two main actors are equally good. if you like this film, you would probably like " In the mood for love" with Maggi Cheung. Back to "Bridges..", the story is simple and yet it draws you in. It is good that now and then , a story like this comes along as fresh breath of air. Love can happen to anyone, but Hollywood seems to think teen love is worth telling.I can't think of any movie that is similar to this one.I am surprised that this one is not in top 100 films you must see before you die.
