Micransix Crappy film

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

gavin6942 A woman (Juliet Stevenson) dealing with inconsolable grief over the death of her partner (Alan Rickman) gets another chance when he returns to earth as a ghost.The title comes from a word game played by the main characters, in which they challenge each other to by turns repeat and add to a series of adverbs describing the depths of their mutual affection. The working title for the film was 'Cello', a reference not only to the cello within the film, but also to the Italian word 'cielo' for heaven. I like the original title better, but understand why the new one might be seen as more marketable.The film was made-for-TV, and produced in a 28-day shooting schedule for just $650,000. Of course, it rises well above that due to its strong pair of actors. When did Alan Rickman really become known as a great actor? Certainly not in "Die Hard" (though he is great)... could this have been a big turning point for him? Roger Ebert called it "a Ghost for grownups" (a common comparison because of the shared theme of lovers returning as ghosts and the concurrent releases of the movies) and considered the movie to reveal "some truths that are, the more you think about them, really pretty profound." I don't know if I would give the film nearly as much weight as Ebert does, but I do enjoy seeing dead people discuss cinema.

SnoopyStyle Nina (Juliet Stevenson)'s life is a mess. Her apartment is falling apart and infested with rats. In her interpreter job, her boss can't speak Spanish and therefore needs her help to communicate with his son. She gets hit on by various men in her life but she can't act on them. She is still heart-broken with the lost of her love Jamie (Alan Rickman). She speaks with him and then actually directly interacts with him. It starts out as overwhelming love rekindling turns into the old problems resurfacing once again.British TV writer Anthony Minghella gets a chance to direct this. It's a fully developed relationship movie. It is touching. Juliet Stevenson is beyond brilliant. She's transcendent. Alan Rickman is interesting because he doesn't present a standard leading man. That makes their relationship so compelling. One can really feel the depths. It's not a simple Hollywood construction. It is a touching ever-after story.

kamuijjang88 I started watching this movie recently because of Alan Rickman. I only wanted to see his movie choice and I loved it. About this movie, it's a loss. The interesting part is that it's easy to remember one at their best, but hard to tolerate one at their worst. When someone is gone, usually we think of how good they were and forgive all their mistakes. It's easy because it's the last time. But when you are living with them again, after the first few days of happiness there goes irritation. "Was it like that before?" And I don't know if Jamie meant to invite their ghosts over to irritate Nina so that she could move on, or things just happened the way it was because Jamie was real, he kept it real. But it sadden me when she finally moved on.It killed me when he read the poem in Spanish and asked her "Do you want me to go?" I could of given this movie more than 8/10 but I'd rather not. It's to real and too hurtful.

alesandra-1 I watched this film first when I was much younger. It was on TV, and seemed like a good way to waste an afternoon. It grabbed me from the first. I watched it spellbound to the end, and hunted for years until I managed to find my own copy.For me this movie cannot be labelled as a chick flick, nor is it a tear- jerker, although I still cry buckets each time I watch it. It is full of real honest emotion. The characters portrayed by Juliet Stevenson and Alan Rickman are both touching and devastating, but yet still the kind of people you meet every day.Until watching this movie, I believed that love was for suckers and a soul mate could only be found in a Disney movie. (Not that I don't also love those! After watching the movie, I found a new perspective and truly understood for the first time what real love could be.I would recommend this film wholeheartedly to anyone, be they male or female. Sure, it's not an action flick or sugary sweet rom-com, but it is amazing!
