Review

  • I have watched the movie a couple of times on the cable, mainly because I'm an avid fan of Richard Gere.The story-line has interesting subplots, which sadly don't evolve further,eg- Charlotte's reaction to what Will did to her mum, why does she return the watch{what does it signify or why does she take it in the first place}are examples of how sub-plots are nipped into the bud, as the story enfolds.The intimate scenes aren't electric, or I wonder if they had subtlety as their underlying theme.The background score is heavenly, and so is the scenery,esp.the falling leaves, Central Park. Unfortunately,there's a certain element of depression,moroseness inherent in the storyline from the inception,the photography{though wonderful},all of which exude coldness,just doesn't feel good when you watch the movie- a queasy feeling when some innocent is about to be executed.I wish they had ended it on a happier note, with the cardiac surgeon successfully performing the surgery.The end,where they portray Charlotte's reflection is quite poignant.Only one query-Did it mean that the rest of his life, he'll be true to her memories, and not indulge in his former activities? What say thou? feedback will be appreciated.
