Timing: Old Shawnee DaysMovie:
I'm glad to say that this film has stood the test of time since it premiered over over twenty years ago. Meryl Streep brings grace & modesty to a character that everyone could just as easily dislike for lack of those very same traits. Clint Eastwood of course hits it out of the park with his acting but what really stands out here is his directing. Another highlight is the cinema photography with it's sweeping views of what first appears to be a lonely & barren land but is transformed into a land of subtle beauty & distinctive character. All of this in addition to the wardrobe, set design & music score come together to create a love story where a happy ending was just never possible. In conclusion despite the film's thoroughness we are pleasantly left with questions to consider such as...
- During the rain scene is Robert yielding to the green light or is he waiting for Francesca?
- Why did the Illinois fair take so long?
- Is the overall message of the film to sacrifice your own happiness for the ones you love or carpe diem?
