(More customer reviews)I bought this poster for my home theater, not so much for it's eye appeal, but because I wanted posters in my entertainment area that meant something to me. I love this film and can only hope that it will be released on DVD or Blu Ray soon!
'Wrestling Ernest Hemingway' is a little known film that is so overlooked, it's almost criminal! This is a fantastic movie with incredible performances by Harris and Duvall! Shirley MacLain, Piper Laurie and Sandra Bullock turn in great performances in supporting roles as well, in this poignant and beautifully crafted movie. It's perfectly paced, funny, thought provoking, frightfully true and so heartbreaking it should have swept the Oscars in 1993 in IMHO!
There is not one false note in it's 2 hour running length and the music score by Michael Convertino is one of the best I've ever heard. I urge everyone to search for this gem of a movie (on VHS) and the out of print soundtrack! This is pure lightning in a bottle and I have never seen any of these actors turn in a better performance!
The film is full of beautifully understated scenes, one where Duvall's character learns his waitress friend is moving away and the subtle look and expressions used by Duvall will just rip your heart out! Both actors have so many good scenes, that you just don't want the movie to end! Not only the main actors, but there isn't a bad performance in the entire film. Harris and Duvall's antics will have you laughing one minute and reaching for the tissue box the next!
I can not recommend this film enough! It's that great and it fit's easily into my top 10 favorite films of all time! Search for it, buy it and be prepared to see and hear how movies are supposed to be made! Absolutely fantastic and it gets better each time I watch it as I discover something new with each viewing. I give it my absolute highest rating!
I had to find the VHS used and burn it to DVD, but I can only hope that this will make it to DVD some day soon. If this came out on Blue Ray I would buy a Blue Ray Player immediately! Am I making myself clear my buddies??? It's an awesome film with no action, no gimmicks or Hollywood flair, just great actors, playing regular people, doing regular things......sometimes life is interesting enough, without all the hoopla!
