Inganni del cuore

I'm not going to reveal the plot, but you can figure it out yourself after the first five minutes. This shouldn't stop you from seeing the movie, though, because you will still be on the edge of your seat rooting for the characters, whom you will come to know and be passionately involved with in the course of the movie. The acting is uniformly excellent and completely seamless; you get so involved with the character you feel you actually are there with them living their lives, and you forget that you are only watching them on the screen. The actors can't take all the credit, because the dialog is realistic to the point of being slightly uncomfortable to watch. I can't say whether it is the acting, the directing or the screenplay that deserves the credit here, but you could also say the same for American Beauty.

I am writing this two days after having seen the movie and I still somehow feel that everything that happened in the movie also happened in my own life. Can you really expect any more from a movie?

Very good human drama of love, insecurity, betrayal, renewal...Claire Forlani and Rob Morrow are respectively, fine actors. The plot, unfortunately, was more common than I wish to admit. Fast, long time friends and the unexplainable chemistry and attraction that can occur without planning, motive or intention. The fact that Adam had lost an eye to his buddy through a sheer accident started an element of insecurity between buddies. Couple that with each finding a love - one more sincere than perhaps the other - and eventual mixed if not undeniable attraction, led to utter pain, betrayal and great heartache. Acting was very good; plot was totally REAL. A little slow; as many of these types of dramas tend to be unnecessarily to my way of thinking. STILL, good movie if not sad - if not truly poignant...Coming "full circle" with one's self and fallibility is a hard, hard "road to hoe" for any of us. Rather familiar I'm afraid but meaningful and a forever life lesson in friendship, love and loyalty.

The dialogue in this film is outstanding, and the male characters are representative of a wonderful relationship between friends. It also speaks of how difficult it is for some young adults in their late 20's and early 30's to leave their childhoods behind. How good people who love each other can hurt one another. I truly enjoyed this film, and it left me thinking about the characters and their lives. They were so very real and representative of many of us that I continue to wonder why we behave as we do.

I liked it a lot. Good relationship type film. Intelligently written and played. Would that all films were this simple and good.

If like me you often enjoy watching a movie just to see the artistry of the actors, then this is a movie to watch. No impressive action and effects, or a particularly original story. Just reality...and a sober, painful one at times. The actors/actresses dragged me into it without me noticing. Of course the fact that one of these artists happens to be one of the most beautiful women alive, makes it even more worth seeing! I had seen Clair Forlani previously in Joe black and was impressed by her beauty and charm, but in this movie she has more space and shows how deeper her acting can go and impressed me even more. I agree with one of the other comments on this movie: unless you are a action or adrenaline junkie, this film is definitely worth watching.
