Product: Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)
Rating: 5.0
Simply gorgeous & uplifting, but don't miss the "moral"
I don't understand what so many reviewers found offensive about this film! Maybe they just missed the point.The cinamatography is phenomenal! Simply breath-taking, but don't miss the "moral" of the story. It's so simple and yet so true and poinient! Yes, many awful things happen to Diane Lane's character, but the point of it all is that she comes out on top! She goes through the terrible relationship with her husband, the Italian... but then she spends time by herself and she finds out who SHE TRULY IS and feels GREAT about herself WITHOUT having a man, and THEN a love interest shows up at the end (although it's not implicatly said, he is her "true love"). The moral: "You can not truly love someone else until you love youself." So true, so true. And this movie did a FABULOUS job of illustrating it."Under the Tuscan Sun" is truly a gorgeous, feel-good, inspiring, uplifting, beautiful film! It will be a great addition to my DVD collection. :-)
