Forever Mine [DVD]

It was entertaining and really not a bad movie overall. There were just a few very silly bits that made no sense and seemed almost like whoever wrote the screenplay or edited it had to cut down on time so rushed a few things that made it seem unrealistic and certain things that people in real life probably wouldn't do.Like what, you ask? Well, for one thing when the leading couple first meet and "fall in love" it seems super fast and like they didn't spend any time together before deciding they were in love. It would have been more believable if they immediately got into a super obsessive lustful thing that then turned to love maybe just as she was leaving or even after she left if they realised they missed each other and were in love.Also, Fiennes character dies this twice in the movie: inexplicably tells the powerful politician played by Ray Liotta, that he intends to take his wife from him. Both times he could have avoided being shot if he had just kept his mouth shut He could have run off with the girl and kept his body parts intact. But instead, particularly the second time around when he comes back from the grave it just makes no sense why he would taunt a powerful man about to lose almost everything and go to prison by telling him hes stealing his wife. He put her in danger as well as himself by doing that and it just seemed unrealistic unless he is a psycopath. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe he was a psycho who fell in love and would do anything for the woman he loved. But also couldn't help but pull this my morality is so much higher than yours. My ability to love is so much greater than yours thing over Liotta, not once but twice.There was also no indication that Liotta's character wasn;t a good husband. It isn't as though she were miserable. It just seemed she fell in love for some reason with the pool boy she didn'e even know. And then did it again later on, That's the other thing that I thought was a bit silly. When she fell in love with the spanish version of Fiennes character it made no sense as to why she fell in love that fast with him again, seeing as they had next to no private scenes together. But she just was all of a sudden in love with the Spanish man before she even knew he was the pool boy from 13 years prior.The last thing that I found unrealistic was when Fiennes was shot he was supposedly buried in cement. They didn't show him getting out of that. just suddenly showing up grievously injured at his friends doorstep in Florida. But he was shot in NY. So how did he get from NY to Miami without dying of blood loss? Or without having someone try and help him, or calling an ambulance or the cops.Aside from those things, the movie was overall fine. It should entertain anyone who watches it.

I can't feel sorry for the lead man 'Alan', as he brought calamity onto himself by pursuing a married woman. A little ridiculous that no one recognizes him as a Mexican gang member. If any man was this obsessed with a woman, I hope she RUNS

I love this movie. it is slow moving but I don't mind that. I love lifetime movies and this would have been a great lifetime movie. I wish they would have a description of what happened at the end because you kind of have to guess. besides that it a good movie.

After watching "Attraction", I promised myself to pre-oder this movie on DVD -- which I did, with no regret. But please don't take it the wrong way. I mean, this so-called "romantic drama" sucked big time, especially its Monte-Cristo-fourteen-year-later part. Even the flashbacks didn't seem to give a plausible, convincing picture. (An IMDB commentator from England wrote that when this film was shown at the Torun camerimage festival in Poland, "the whole audience was in stitches, which would have been fine except this was supposed to be a romance"). So true. Whoever could envision beautiful young Gretchen Mol's love at first sight with a beardless Joseph Fiennes must be a hopeless romantic. Whoever could go farther to explain her attraction to a disfigured Senor Esquema (whom she kissed passionately even BEFORE he revealed himself as her former lover) must be a genius in helpless romanticism. Ironically, despite all those flaws, I decided to give "Forever Mine" 4 stars instead of none. Not as a comfort to the movie makers who were undoubtedly obsessed with Alexandre Dumas and Gustave Flaubert's great books. Simply because Gretchen Mol was so lovely and so wasted in her role, just like what happened to her in "Attraction". This beautiful and talented actress deserved all those 4 stars. How she managed to turn a camera-required chemical into a fascinating love scene was beyond me. Of course she didn't get to save this turkey, but she did give those who admire her enough patience to wait for something better (like her shining role in "The Thirteenth Floor"). I'll wait.

Just saw this movie on Netflix. Can't remember when the aftermath of viewing a love story of this caliber ignited my emotions so much. Don't understand why it was not in theaters. Patronize local theaters weekly,this movie deserved to be shown. Certainly much better than many I've seen recently.Question why people who are not professional critics dissect a story to such an exaggerated level. What the h-ll are they looking for? It's entertainment for the masses and will temporarily take your mind off troubles. Moreover,many messages are presented for all to consider.Alan was a young man pursuing his dreams,falls in love with a weak neglected,lonely woman who choose's comfort over heartfelt feelings then regrets it. She then wise's up and realizes "true love" is more precious than $$$. This is where Ella begins to really show some genuine emotion\passion which had been somewhat lacking on her part. Don't condone adultery but when you stay in a marriage for all the wrong reasons the door is wide open. Maybe Alan was somewhat obsessed, love has that affect at times. Hard for some people to relate especially if they have never loved that deeply.Purchased the DVD, listened to the director's commentary and apparently he wanted to create a love story with some old fashion,carry your heart on your sleeve dialogue. This included the cliffhanger ending leaving the viewer wondering about the climax. Did Alan live or die? How much should a man be expected to endure in the name of love? He was disfigured and shot three times. The director's explanation was very contradictory and did not flow with the intended theme.Predictable vs Corny. I would opt for corny, as long as it's believable and creates a good feeling. People really need that, there is already enough sorrow.

Dumb movie, but I like the main actors.Unrealistic....

delivered very quickly item was exactly as described

Was diesen Thriller so einzigartig macht, ist die ihm zugrunde liegende Liebe eines Mannes zu einer verheirateten Frau. Ich will nicht zu viel verraten, aber ich muss sagen, dass man eine solche Tiefe von Gefühlen normalerweise im Westen nicht findet. Unbedingt sehenswert. Die Musik ist traumhaft schön.
