I just finished watching Beloved about an hour ago and now there is a feeling deep inside me that I can't explain. It's like an emptiness, a pain that is indescribable. The things that Sethe had to go through in her life only to be screwed later by something that she thought she had done right; saving her children from a fate worse than death. At first I was confused by this movie, of course it's hard to pay attention when there are three children running around screaming, but I was confused and intrigued none-the-less. I liked this movie and later on once I've had time to absorb it I'm sure I'll love it. I recommend that everyone watch this movie and then when your done see if you still feel whole and safe in this crazy world.
I loved this movie. I've never read the book, but I'm not saying I never will. If the book is anywhere as good or better than the movie then I will definitely read it. At first I thought I wouldn't like it, I thought it would be another long boring holocaust movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. Kirsten Dunst was great as Hannah, bringing the character to life, for me at least. I was moved, to say the least and in the end when Hannah gave her life for Rifka I cried, like a baby. It was a beautiful story and one that I'll never forget.
When I first read Dolores Claiborne I said to myself "I can't wait for them to turn this into a movie", and they did, unfortunately it was worse than Ellen Degeneres' movie "MR. Wrong". For a book that was so wonderfully written to be turned into the hideous movie that is now Dolores Claiborne, well it's sad. Where did the son of Dolores go? They tried to go in at a good angle, I'll give them that, but to turn something good into something as putrid as the movie, well it should be against the law! The ONLY reason to watch this movie would be to witness Kathy Bates, she is, as always GREAT! If you don't like Kathy Bates then, not only should you get your head examined, you should read the book.
