Now a Classic

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2011)

I now had the opportunity to see many of the so called romantic classics from the '30s onwards, and am surprised to find that this movie is one of the best amongst them.
The movie has all the elements of romantic movies except for a tragic ending which I find unnecessary. And out of all, this one is one of the most detailed and perfectly executed. It also invites us into the world of super rich in a stylized way that makes for a perfect fantasy.
I'm also impressed with Richard Gere in looking so good in his role. He was stunningly good looking as Edward, and had almost a teenager like quality in his looks. Maybe I should thank the HD technology for allowing me to notice so much details that I didn't notice when I first saw this movie.
One of the best movie made, and certainly one of the top 10 romantic movies of all time.
