08/30/2012 [font=Century Gothic][color=purple]I recently watched the movie "For the Moment" and unfortunately I think that itÂ’s not a movie which is worth to watch.[/color][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=purple]There are two main subjects: love and war. Firstly the film called my attention but then when I watched the movie I felt like I watched two different movies because I couldn't see any connection between these two subjects. There is one part about love and then one part about war and then one part about love etc. [/color][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=purple]We have two love stories which have no originality. It's easy to see what would happen next. After all it becomes boring and boring for spectator. You find yourself started to not watching the movie and thinking about your ordinary stuff.[/color][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=purple]Let us turn to the performances of actors. I think that even Russell Crowe act very well as a lover, Christianne Hirt destroy his effort by her stiffness.[/color][/font] [font=Century Gothic][color=purple]In conclusion, supposing that love and war are really the subjects which may be interesting for everybody I think that they made a pretty bad job.[/color][/font] See more 08/30/2012 :) :) :) :) :) :) See more 08/30/2012 "For the Moment is a film that suffers from two opposite extremes. The first half of the film is incredibly slow and uneventful, while the second half is over-the-top drama with nothing but dying, crying and goodbying (excuse my rhyming)." Full review at: http://www.commonsensemoviereviews.com/2010/04/for-moment-1993.html See more 02/18/2009 A disappointing romance, partly due to the lack of pace, but also the lack of real interest in the love affairs. See more 02/18/2009 wow! a heartwarming, though-provoking film. a young russel crowe stars as the lead as lachlan a charming fighter pilot training in canada. During his stay he meets lill played by christianne hurt who is his friends fiance's sister, their reklationship blossoms and they find a genuine connection between each other. its a beautiful romance however lill is already married to her chilhood sweatheart who a week after they got hitched he was sent to war, now a long time down the line, she feels alone and fins the romance as menas of an escape. so the romance has to be a secret affair from her family and her husbands sister. As this romance is going on another more public and heartfelt romance between lachlans officer and the towns prostitute and mother of two fall in love. for the moment crowe and hirt's characters share a beatifuk love nad friendship howver trouble is amist in this inevitable drama, and upsetting but still loving film. supported by a good cast. worth a watch. See more 11/19/2008 The Manitoba filming location is amazing. Great story of human infallibility. Not the type of behaviour the average individual would find acceptable, but I think during war, people tend to reach out to one another rather than adhere to strict moral code. It tends to point out how lucky and truly spoiled we all are to be able to judge the characters in this movie. Definitely worth watching. See more Read all reviews
