Review 3. In Love And War

The topic under consideration is based on the film 'In Love and War'. It is a 1996 romance drama film based on the book, Hemingway in Love and War by Henry S. Villard and James Nagel, starring Chris O'Donnell and Sandra Bullock.

Let me pass on to the plot of this film. This film is largely based on Ernest Hemingway's real experience in World War I as a young soldier in Italy. He was wounded and sent to military hospital where he shared a room with Villard and they were nursed by Agnes von Kurowsky. Hemingway and von Kurowsky fell strongly in love but somehow the relationship didn't work out.

As for the cast,I should mention Chris O'Donnell and Sandra Bullock. They were wonderful. Their acting creates true, honest and real atmosphere. I believe their feelings and emotions. Chris O'Donnell plays young Ernest Hemingway. And I think he is good at showing Hemingway's trasformation from a sweet boy into a well-known writer. As for Sandra Bullock, she is also great at demonstarating the true feelings of Agnes von Kurowsky. To my mind, it's difficult to show her as a sensetive woman, but Bullock had managed with it.

Also I can't but mention about music. As the music by four-time Academy Award nominee George Fenton is on a grand scale. Outdoor scenes have majestic sounds full of horns and worthy of a vast symphony. In interior scenes we are treated to intimate violin serenades. Every scene is filled with intense musical emotion.Anf to my mind, it helps to feel character's mood more vividly.

Finally, 'In Love and War' is a solid example of telling Hemingway's biography. It shows how pride can ruin and change not only life but also the way of thinking. This autobiographical film does not tell the same story that the semi-autobiographical book, 'A Farewell to Arms' did. So 'In Love and War' is closer to the truth of the writer’s life. In that way, this movie is a historical and biographical resource for people interested in Hemingway.
