MARTÍN L 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." Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Jacob B 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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Marc L 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. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is perhaps as good as it can be. Not having read the book, not sure how much better can the movie be if it followed the book. Much of Its worries and concerns are outdated. Perhaps the truly inspiring moment is really its end: the notes about love and death - thoughts that come to surface after an party and we ding ourselves alone again Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review s r 1001 movies to see before you die. Perhaps it would have been better for me to have read the story before watching this. I started it with others and it dragged. Of course, I had to come back to it to finish it. It still dragged until the end of the party when they all parted and it looked into the tragic reverential themes of life, lost love and enduring these trials. Ultimately, it had good things, but I am not sure I want to see it again. It was on VUDU. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
