hyped garbage
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I have never cried and smiled so much for a movie. Purely amazing, very heart touching. I recommend this to everyone and anyone. You could feel the emotions of the actors. I wasn't expecting it to be this good. And this is coming from someone who never cries while watching movies.Good for any age group. I guarantee you'll cry while watching this.I cannot explain how much I truly enjoyed this movie. Purely Outstanding . The Notebook used to be my favourite romantic movie. But after watching this, I have without a doubt changed my mind. If you ever get a chance to watch this, I highly recommend you do. I promise you will not regret it! Long story short,absolutely fantastic, and a must watch.
Superb Bette White leads an equally phenomenal cast in this Hallmark Film about a lost love. Despite the fact that her husband has been missing for 66 years, Caroline Thomas still faithfully waits for him at Union Station each Valentine's Day. This recounts their separation when he went off to be a navy pilot during World War 11 and never returned. Their romance, marriage and year together are vividly remembered.A young reporter wishing to do a documentary on the subject falls for Caroline's grandson and love abounds in a new generation. Isn't this the same old story? However, it's so well done here.White reminds me of Gloria Stuart recounting a lost love in "Titanic." These films are so poignantly done.The ending, providing closure, will forever tug at your heart.
This movie is now one of my all time favorites. The cast did such an amazing job bringing this story to life. No matter who you are you are going to ball your eyes out! The love Caroline had for her Neil is something that everyone wishes they had in their lifetime. Watching how their love began and how they were separated and then how they reunite in the most heart wrenching way was like something I have never seen before. It was very interesting to me to see how things were during the war back in the day, very different to how we are now while we fight this war in Iraq. This movie will hit very close to home if you have a loved one in the military.
Here is a story that so could have easily gotten out of hand, but it didn't. It stayed quite believable from beginning to end, with solid direction, writing, cinematography, and production from music to costumes. All the actors gave solid performances, but Betty White is in her glory here. Capping a life time before the cameras playing every part from bubble-head wife, to game show staple, to man-chasing TV "Home Maker" to senior Nordic-American widow, we now have a consummate pro, the caliber of Tracey or Heburn in their latter days giving a performance that is total "Emmy" caliber all the way. If you some how missed this, catch a rebroadcast, or put it on your purchase or rental list when it appears on DVD or Blu-Ray disc. You will not be disappointed. One caveat: Have the box of tissue handy because Betty's gonna get you!
