    The best wlll be its spirit: endurance and courage towards hardship. The most intriguing scene is the one about tornado. The KKK part is furious to watch either. The other will be the acting: not only Sally Field gave one of the greatest performances, but John Malkovich was also great for his screen debut. The ending is somehow sad since the social harmony seems still far away......

    It's a period piece (The Great Depression). It tells the story of a widower who's husband was killed in an accident, who's left with a farm, kids (2 of them), mortgage and no way to make the payment. She has to find a way, because if not she'll lose it all. She is befriended by a wandering black man name Moses (Danny Glover) whom helps her try to save the farm by helping her plant & harvest cotton. She also takes on a blind border named Mr. Will.
    It's a story on the trials & hardships of a woman of that time trying to maintain a home and family with only love, preserverence and friendships

    Great performance by Sally Field...and although the main part of the story was not about the KKK...that part made me angry...injustice always makes me angry.

    Even though I thought this was a really good movie, I found myself to be somewhat dissapointed. The story was just so inspiring but I think the director could have done a lot more things with this. It kind of had 2 stories instead of one which I didn't like. I wished they stuck with Sally Field's character and not Ed Harris'. The only reason that I don't give this 5 star is because of the ending which confused me. But beside that I think that Sally Field deserved the Academy Award because she was great. Places in the Heart is a worthwhile film although it may not suit everybody's taste.

    Spectacular cast with Sally Field in another Norma Rae tough role. Odd lot brought together in hard times.
