Patrick S @PatrickStruik 3d Beautiful adaption of a James Joyce story. See more Anya S @AnyaS Jun 24 Today's viewers may wonder why this film, in which not much happens, is considered a work of art But the beautiful final scene and final voice-over on true love and mortality leaves you thinking long after the film has ended. See more MARTÍN L Mar 28 El maestro John Huston nos dejó como testamento una obra maestra como "Dublineses (los muertos)" basada en la obra de James Joyce. Pocas veces la emoción que uno puede sentir llega a tanto como cuando ves llorar a su hija Anjélica por su amor juvenil malogrado y el doloroso pensamiento en voz alta de su marido que descubre que ella nunca lo amará de la misma manera y, aún peor, que él nunca sintió el amor como lo hizo aquel joven por su mujer. Vedla, emocionaos hasta las lágrimas o hasta el nudo en la garganta. Gracias al maestro Huston y al maestro North, que puso una banda sonora que acompaña a una obra tan sublime. Dios mío, cuánta belleza. "La nieve cae sobre los vivos y sobre los muertos." See more Jacob B Mar 4 An elegiac tale of love, family and memory set in Dublin at a Christmas time in the early 1900’s. Brilliant character study and beautifully subtle performances headed by the great Angelica Huston. A master class from John Huston on how to adapt great literature for the screen. An annual Christmas viewing staple in my home. See more Marc L 01/21/2024 This might be one of the 10 worst movies I have ever seen. I watched it waiting for something to happen. Nothing happened. I saw it in the theater when it was released. I talked to other people who saw it and liked it. I told them that I hated it. They said: "You had to have read the story." I'm sorry, but a film has to stand by itself. If you need to have read the story to appreciate it, then it is a failure. See more 09/02/2022 Watching "The Dead", one feels like a fly on the wall contentedly witnessing the goings-on at a 1900's dinner party with the anticipation that something's going to happen, yet not much ever does. The production value and cast make it easy on the eyes and ears, but the story's almost entirely bereft of spikes, two brief, unexploited political exchanges being among the sole exceptions. The finale's dramatic reveal and basic philosophical musings show some overdue and thus pointless signs of life. See more Read all reviews
