Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

niksilyuk In spite of the fact that I don't like romances, once I had to watch the "In love and war". However, after watching it I was pleasantly surprised. The movie not just answers the question in the title of my review, but shows us in detail how it really happens. From the very beginning you start to believe actors, emotions and feelings they express and of course the setting. The story starts when young reporter Ernest Hemingway (Chris O'Donnell) comes to an Italy town as a volunteer in period of World War I. Soon he is injured and transported to the hospital, where he meets Agnes (Sandra Bullock ), he instantly falls in love with her, but he is not her only admirer. Surrounded by a number of lovers and all atrocities of war, will Agnes respond Ernest in kind?The thing I like most is the way how the war is shown. Notwithstanding that there are little battle scenes and action always takes place in hospital, we can see all terrors of war "from the backyard". You always sympathize with very young soldiers, who are in the hospital, especially those who are deadly injured.Even if you are not a fan of war films or romances, I advise you to watch the movie, just to broaden your horizons and not to forget what the war is. The love storyline is quite simple, the same thing can be said about characters, but there is something catching in this movie something that makes me think that one day I will watch it once again. 8/10

VladimirSviridov The film by Richard Attenborough tells us the story of young reporter Ernerst Hemingway. As you could probably guess the film is based on a true story. Ernest Hemingway is an ambulance driver in Italy during World War I. Risking his life while saving one of the soldiers he is injured and ends up in the hospital, where he falls in love with his nurse, Agnes von Kurowsky. The film doesn't give rise to emotions. It is just a love story, one among many. However, there are some positive things. The most positive aspect of the film is acting. Chris O'Donnel and Sandra Bullock performed perfect. It is really exciting to watch how their relations develop from the point of view of their acting. They succeeded to materialize passion, emotions, feelings and love in particular. Mackenzie Astin who plays Henry Villard did his job very well. His character has a great charisma and it is always a pleasure to see him in shot. The only character who disappoints is the surgeon. He could be a nice antagonist but he happen to be just a plane supporting character. Music and sound are not memorable but still good. Now, we're smoothly moving to the negative things. The first problem of the film is story-line. The story-line in general is nice. But it could be more creative. There are little untypical for such a film things. The main character is rather irritating in his behavior. The problem is not in the actor but in the script. I liked the setting but scenery ruined it. They looked unnatural. I would mark three main characters Ernest Hemingway, Agnes von Kurowsky, Henry Villard. The characters are not memorable. There is nothing special about them. What about Hemingway's character, he is rather irritating. He is an arrogant, impudent, insolent kid who thinks that he is special or even chosen one. Agnes von Kurowsky, a nurse who can't make head or tail of her feelings. Henry Villard a person who behaves like brave soldier and young boy at the same time (especially beside Agnes). Just to sum up already mentioned I would say that it is not the worst film ever, but also it is not the best one as well. Just something average. If you are interested in love stories or in Hemingway you may give it a try. If not, don't waste your time and read the original book.

Natalia Golosova Love in WarThis is a movie about war and some challenges that people face there. The events unfold in Intaly during World War I. Ernerst Hemingway, the main character, is a young man who serves as a reporter. War is always connected with risk, so one day Ernie appeared in the hospital. Here he mets his love, Agnes von Kurowsky. She is a beautiful and talented nurse who can't stay indifferent for this handsome and charming youth. I can not say that this movie became my favorite one, but I like it. This is a romantic story. However, «In Love and War» touches many issues that are actual even now days.There are a number of positive moments for me. As it was already mentioned, the problems appeared in the movie can be interested for many people. Such topics as friendship, love, bravery, betrayal and pride are reflected in the movie. And now a few words about the way the film was shot. I like the director's work. The movie contains many interesting foreshortening. There are a lot of scenes with nature and we can enjoy different landscapes. The choice of actors is good. The main character, Agnes von Kurowsky, is created by a brilliant actress, Sandra Bullock. She is so aristocratic and realistic in the film that I believe her for 100%. Besides, the ending of the movie is unexpected.Nevertheless, there are some negative moments either. The beginning of the movie is overextended and some scenes seem unnecessary. My strongest disappointment is in the fact that this movie does not cause any strong emotions. Of course, it makes you sympathize with the main characters but you are not immersed in the atmosphere entirely. As a result, the movie won't stay in memory for a long time.Despite of the boring beginning, the film is worth watching. It is a thought-provoking and touching love-story. Moreover, it is based on the real events. So we can get some details about Hemingway's life. If you want to create your own clear impression of this story, I would recommend you to read a book ''A Farewell to Arms'' at first.

tomsview Richard Attenborough's "In love and War" is beautifully made, with an intriguing story, believable characters, and authentic locations.It's also a fascinating movie for anyone interested in the real story behind Ernest Hemingway's novel "A Farewell to Arms", and the films made from it, as well as the Nick Adams stories, which were filmed as "Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man". It depicts a pivotal experience that helped shape Hemingway into the writer now hailed as the greatest of his generation.Ernest Hemingway, played by Chris O'Donnell, is a volunteer ambulance driver with the Italian Army facing the Austrians in Northern Italy during WW1. When he is badly wounded, he is sent to an American hospital in Milan. It is here that he meets Agnes von Kurowsky – an American nurse with a Teutonic name. Before long, he is hopelessly in love with her. He is ardent but she is less so, although he slowly wears her down. They have an affair and Hemingway expects to marry her when they return to America.Although Hemingway goes home, Agnes stays, eventually informing Ernest that they are finished romantically. Hemingway is crushed and embittered, so much so, that when Agnes comes to see him back in America, he drives her away although she professes her love for him.The last scene in the movie is a powerful one, although, as a number of reviewers have noted, it didn't happen; Ernest never saw Agnes again after he left Italy, but he certainly was crushed and embittered.Some researchers claim their affair was never consummated. Agnes said as much in a letter to one of the co-authors of the book upon which "In Love and War" is based when she stated, "I wasn't that kind of girl". However, other witnesses claim that it was an affair in every sense of the word. Whatever the depth of the affair, I can't help feeling that the filmmakers should have found a way to end it the way it really happened – but I guess the thought of that final meeting was just too tempting.In reality, Agnes sent a letter citing the age difference as the main factor; she was 7 years older and often referred to Hemingway as 'Kid'; he carried the pain of this rejection throughout his life. One astute observer felt that it explained why Hemingway was always the first to break off his marriages, relationships and friendships – on the principal of get them before they get you.Sandra Bullock's restrained performance is perfect – casting a beautiful Hollywood star in the role does not exaggerate Agnes von Kurowsky's charms – judging from photographs of her online, she was indeed beautiful. Chris O'Donnell is also fine as the brash, over-confident Hemingway whose inexperience with women shows.The film also brings to life an obscure piece of history. Before America's entry into WW1, many American men and women volunteered to be nurses or ambulance drivers in France and Italy. They saw the carnage of war first-hand. In a scene in "Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man", inspired by Hemingway's experiences depicted in "In Love and War", Nick Adam's physician father says to his son after he has naively volunteered to be an ambulance driver, "Do you know what war is Nick? In a surgeon's tent, that's where you find out about war." "In Love and War" honours the altruistic and adventurous spirit of those men and women, and the price many of them paid – including a shattered leg and a broken heart from Hemingway himself.
