VHS Movie Reviews of Truly Madly Deeply

Movie Review: Truly Madly Deeply Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars

This film is amazing. I have never had a film pull at the heart strings the way that this film did, and I am not a person to be made emotional with a film easily. The acting was wonderful, and Alan Rickman, as always, was stellar. I had a slightly different take of this film than a few of the reviews that I read. *Warning! Spoilers* The way that I took Jamie's fussiness and moments of agitation to Nina (Stevenson's character), was that he was trying to make her remember that he wasn't perfect. In the beginning of the movie, she is remembering all of his wonderful qualities. This is evident in that when he first returned, he was the Jamie that she had been missing, but then his quirks began to emerge. Again, I did not take these to be flaws in Jamie's character, but rather that he was "over emphasizing" the things he used to do that drove her crazy. He had returned to help her heal, and she would never do that as long as she was holding on to a sanctified version of him. The whole motive of his actions were centered around getting her to the point that she must say out loud, literally, that she "would go on living." And he gets her to that point...poetically. Its beautiful. I have to say the most heart wrenching scene for me was when Jamie was standing in the window of the flat watching her leave. The film wasn't just about her saying goodbye, but it was a goodbye for him as well - for he had to let her go too, so that she could live.

This film will touch on all the emotions in the human spectrum. You will laugh, and cry, or in my case, weep. It will certainly leave you thinking about it long after the credits have rolled. Its one of the most touching films I have ever seen. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys British films, and British humor. I loved this movie because the characters were so real. There isn't a drop of Hollywood drivel here, which I find to be refreshing. This film is wonderful. I can't say it enough. Truly!

Summary of Truly Madly Deeply

Truly Madly Deeply is an intelligent, moving, and deeply funny story about love and death. Nina (Juliet Stevenson), a scatterbrained professional translator, has lost the love of her life, Jamie (Die Hard's Alan Rickman). As her life (and her flat) slowly falls to pieces, she's inundated by an endless stream of repair men and eligible suitors. But rather than go on with life, Nina dwells on her dead love, slumped at her piano, endlessly playing half of a Bach duet. Then, in a truly magical sequence, his cello suddenly joins her melody ... and Jamie's back from the dead.

At first it's bliss. (Think of the superficially similar blockbuster Ghost--only with real people instead of pretty faces Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze.) But Nina gradually realizes it's a thoroughly real Jamie who's back, complete with every annoying, argumentative fault she'd conveniently forgotten. (He might be dead, he explains, but he still attends political meetings.) Moreover, he has to hide whenever any of the living are around. And he's constantly ice-cold. And he invites his dead pals to her place at all hours. What's a living woman to do?

Director Anthony Minghella went on to create the melodramatic period piece The English Patient--but in this film, he shows a far more sensitive, subtle touch. The photography is brilliant, capturing the simple beauties of suburban London. And the wonderfully acted characters, quirky and all too real, will keep you laughing--and always guessing what will happen next. --Grant Balfour
