Period Movies

This was a really neat movie. Its off of a book by Jane Austin so it should be good! I'm really getting into period movies, they're really neat though! It was really full of drama though, but it was funny also, so it was good! Another thing, everybody says I look like Gwyneth Paltrow...but I don't see it....

Wow! I was very surprised! I sort of expected it to be cheesy and/or boring but it was neither! It is romance which I usually detest but I loved it and it was also had some comic relief making it so enjoyable! Its great that you think Mr. Darcy was a bad guy but then it turns out that he's just misunderstood. I also thought the casting was spectacular...its just really, really great, I love it! Watching it makes me want to wear pretty dresses and go dancing at elegant balls!

I really loved the cast, the acting was superb! It was funny, sad and every thing else that makes a movie good! I am really starting to love period movies!!! (Movies set in different time periods)

A very sweet movie! Don't miss out on it, its so enjoyable! It has a great story, just a perfect movie to watch late at night when you don't feel like going to sleep...

I remember going to Blockbuster and renting these movies after I read the book. Even though they are really old, I love them!

Wow! I didn't realize how many big names are in this movie! Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet...

Anyway, I've read the book and I love it, so the movie must be good like Pride and Prejudice was.

This is the true story of Saint Therese of Lisieux, an ordinary girl with an extraordinary soul. This movie is so beutiful, so strong and so accurate that it has been endorsed by the Vatican.

Saint Terese's story has already touched so many hearts through her autobiography and now there is an inspirational movie out that will reach to even more. I also have to mention the sets and costumes; the sets were based on photographs taken by terese's sister, Celene, and were exact right down to the cruxifix's and candles. Some of the costumes were actually 100 year old clothes from the period!

"Therese gives us hope. We live in a secular world, trapped by our materialistic frenzied lives; powerless to give up our comfortable homes, our ears or even cigarettes. Therese's message is that God wants to meet us right where we are and that we are not trapped. He is accessable to anyone who seeks Him. Therese exemplifies confidence in the mercy of God, Who loves us so much that He will do all the work, providing strength and perseverence for us to find true happiness."
Saint Therese of Lisieux, pray for us.

(Speaking of preying to saints, it is a common misunderstanding that Catholics worship the saints. Catholics honor saints - we thank God for the gifts He has given them and ask them to prey for us. It is like asking a friend to pray for you when you have a problem. The saints are simply friends in heaven; they are very close to God and know His will. Saint Therese has performed many miraclese from heaven, known because they are accompanied with the scent or gift of roses. She said herself, "I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth."

This movie absolutely made my heart melt. Not only was it very entertaining but also informative. I really learned a lot while my heart swelled inside of me. It is not just a war movie, its a wonderful story of the growth of a man who "gave his life for a race". Colonel Robert Gould Shaw is now one my heroes.

I love how you see Shaw grow as a person. At first, he is unable to connect with his black soldiers. He pushes his regiment to its greatest because he knows the horrors of war and the importance of discipline. He also knows that the success of the regiment will change the way Americans view African-Americans. Near the end of the movie , Shaw finally gains respect for his soldiers, earning their respect in return.

It amazes me that such a great, moving film whose main characters are such big names as Denzel Washington, Morgan Feeman and Matthew Broderick can be so under-rated and unknown!
This movie is able to give you a connectiong with the characters that is very refreshing.

Even though the ending is terribly sad, I could watch this movie a hundred times!
The power of Glory will stay with me forever.
