Movie Review
Judging by this movie, Ernest Hemingway had an interesting life, to say the least. In Love and War is based on Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms and more importantly Agnes von Kurowksy's recently discovered diaries, about an 18-year old boy, Hemingway, and the nurse who got him walking again after a wartime injury, Agnes von Kurowsky.

March 28, 2004I disagree with the first reviewer. I felt that you do witness the emotions of Agnes. Yes, the point of view does change throughout the film, however it doesn't detract from it's overall effect. I had now seen the movie since it's release in 1997 and saw it again on cable TV this weekend and loved it even more. I now have a renewed interest in rereading "A Farewell To Arms" which I had not even considered doing since I had to read the novel in English 201 in college.

March 12, 2004I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was amazed at the cast and crew's ability to capture a young Hemingway's inner turmoil of his two most distant extremes: love, at the one end, and war at the other. Both entities pulled at O'Donnell's Hemmingway and his deep conscience and youthful trappings of love. Now, a question for anyone who might have ben associated with the production of this film, particularly a ballroom dance scene in what is likely turn-of-the-century Europe: in this beautiful scene, O'Donnell and Bullock dance briefly in a magnificent, opulent ballroom. The room itself is adorned by several crystal chandeliers, which are identical in every detail to one which I have in my home, "White Pillars", an estate home on Cape Cod constructed in 1839. I have been told that the chandelier is an original, manufactured in the very late 1700's in Europe, perhap in Italy. Can anyone help? Thank You - E. Baker Garbiss207@aol.com
