Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Isaac5855 Michelle Pfeiffer's Oscar nominated performance anchors 1992's LOVE FIELD, a surprisingly moving marriage between character study and buddy movie that draws the viewer in with the draw of vividly human characters involved in a somewhat over the top story that manages to hold our attention due to the extreme likability of the two main characters. Pfeiffer plays a Dallas beautician named Lurene in 1963, who is so devastated by the assassination of JFK that she decides, against her husband's wishes, to travel to Washington DC to attend JFK's funeral and, en route, befriends a black man (Dennis Haysbert)traveling with his daughter, and the relationship that develops between the two when circumstances find the three of them on the run together. The story taken on an unexpected richness because these two people are part of the racially turbulent 1960's and because of the beautifully evocative performances from the stars. Pfeiifer, in particular, gives us a sad and slightly pathetic creature, wearing a platinum blonde Mariyln Monroe wig that seems to represent her desire to be someone else, her Lurlene is slightly ditzy, bored,lonely, but with a heart as big as all outdoors and the quiet dignity that Haysbert brings to his character in this tense situation is on target. Brian Kerwin also scores in the most significant role of his career as Lurene's abusive brute of a husband, but it is the performances and chemistry of the two stars that make this journey a memorable one.

harry-420 The sound track behind this film would make a good atmospheric Cd. There are fine performances by the principles. The film has many good moments and several dark ones that include such racist behaviour by southern police officers, that if that is reflective of how they are,one would not want to go to the southern states of America ever. The film is crosscut with the assassination of J F K Kennedy moving from Dallas to Washington, the funeral of the President then the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald. Remembering the paranoia in America at the time about conspiracy, Red plots, Castro involvement or Mafia killing and the condemnation of the Dallas police force that followed because they seemed to prefer Kennedy dead and wanted only to put it to bed as quickly as possible. The police would have been very twitchy, but that wouldn't excuse the kind of pure nastiness portrayed here.

Bacci Good movie, Michelle is very good on it.What I liked most in this movie is how it shows to those who watch it the both sides of the American condition in the sixties.Screenplay could be a little bit less obvious.
