A beautiful film
Echoing the other reviews printed here, I must express shock that more people have yet to discover this painfully honest,quiet, gentle and loving film.
Featuring outstanding work by Richard Harris (this may be his finest performance!, the incomparable Robert Duvall, Shirley Maclaine, and a gorgeous and graceful Sandra Bullock, "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway" also benefits from a solid script and expert direction that allows human beings to truly live.
This witty and softly tragic film contains something for everyone. It is a film about finding soul mates, about love, about facing loneliness and bravely avoiding despair through grace. It is a film about hope. One of the many great crimes in Film history is the fact that so many have overlooked this beautiful and gently profound film.
For its most agreeable price, "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway" (watch the film to get the title's meaning), is a safe and inexpensive gamble. If you are a fan of movies that value...
This is a wonderful movie about friendship and aging.
Walter and Frank are two old men, having nothing in common other than their loneliness. One day they meet in the park and at the time of their first meeting neither of them could guess how good friends they would become. There is not much I can say about this movie, except that it is very, very good. It's a story about friendship, loneliness, life and aging. The screenplay is great (written by a 21-year-old) and every actor is wonderful. Besides the two fantastic leading men (Richard Harris and Robert Duvall), the cast includes Shirley MacLaine and Sandra Bullock, just before her big breakthrough with "Speed".
It's a shame that this movie isn't better known. Everybody should get a chance to see it. Buy this movie. You won't regret it! It's a movie you will remember.
SUPERIOR MOVIE!!! OUTRAGEOUSLY ROTTEN PRICE!!!
Add my voice to the protest on the ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS PRICE ON THIS DVD!
This is an outstanding movie with Duval turning in an Academy Award worthy performance as a retired CUBAN BARBER (GOTTA SEE IT - but ***NOT*** AT $40!!!! Can you say "STICK 'EM UP!"???) and Harris isn't far behind in the acting deparment. An absolute character driven GEM of a film that you OWE it to yourself to see. BUT NOT AT $40!!!!!
*WHAT EXACTLY* MAKES THIS PARTICULAR DVD COST THIS MUCH???? DOES WARNER BROS. PLAN TO START SELLING DVDS PRICED STRICTLY ON CONTENT NOW? RIDICULOUS!!!
Just say "NO WAY!!!"
