Although a representing piece of pure Hollywood cinema, a timeless epic...

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2006)

I watched the movie in 1997 after it was released in VHS. I hadn't been able to watch it while being on the "big screen" and as a result my curiousness was explicitly bigger than it was at the beginning. I dare say I have watched it over 10 times ever since and still haven't got bored with it. Although it is a characteristic piece of pure Hollywood cinema, nobody can deny it's breathtaking and above-average moving. First of all, although the plot was simple, non-complicated and (shouldn't deny it)rather predictable, it still is a beautiful fictional love story which in fact has a logical base: we shouldn't forget that most marriages in the 1920s were a result of parents' personal ambitions and financial motivations, so they happened mainly for interest. But as soon as Rose met Jack, who above all saved her in every way a person can be saved, it is natural to fall in love at once, as near him she imagined the live she would have died to live. Then. as far as the technical merit is concerned....what can I say?The work made is just magnificent!!!No other comments. And finally it's worth mentioning the strongest element of the movie which rises her above all: the music, which is widely concerned as a classic!..... 9.8/10
