French subtitles. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/22/2006 Starring: Tobey Maguire Jewel Run time: 99 minutes Rating: R Director: Ang Lee Amazon.com: Great period pictures make you feel as if you've stepped into another era, heard its language, breathed its spirit, and come away with a fresh perspective on that time as well as your own. Ride with the Devil is one of those special films--why wasn't it more widely embraced by reviewers and filmgoers? Did it rely too much on our patience for slow accumulation of unforced rhythms and meanings (as opposed to The Patriot, which "moved" audiences with cattle-prod simplicity and manipulation)? Ride with the Devil--smart, handsome, tenderly awed by how individual lives get ambushed by history--is ripe for rediscovery. The Civil War of battlefields and plantation houses is nowhere to be seen here. Instead we see the war as an improvised and largely blundering but very bloody feud among neighbors in the border state of Missouri. In this bucolic war zone--more than a little reminiscent of the Balkans in the late 1990s--the Taiwanese-born director Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility) traces the destinies of several young Southern bushwhackers (guerrilla fighters) as they experience violence, the seasons, and different kinds of love. Skeet Ulrich draws the aristocratic glamour role (and top billing), but he's overshadowed by Tobey Maguire as a first-generation American, the magnificent Jeffrey Wright (a shameful oversight at Oscar time) as a freed slave fighting beside his former master, and singer Jewel in a very natural acting debut as the young widow who graces all their lives. The title The Birth of a Nation was already taken, but by the end of this movie you feel it would have applied here. -- Richard T. Jameson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Southern guerrillas along the Missouri/Kansas borderReleased in 1999 "Ride with the Devil" is a Civil War tale focusing on Southern guerrilla fighters known as Bushwhackers, mostly young men who stage daring raids on Union forces and communities along the Missouri/Kansas border. The story includes Quantrill's infamous 1963 raid on Lawrence, Kansas, which he burned & pillaged and murdered over 150 unarmed men, women and children. The story shines the spotlight on the son of a German immigrant (Tobey Maguire aka Spider-man), a beautiful ... Read More Rating: - Good Civil War DramaI thought this was a good film and I liked that it explored the hardships and difficulties faced by milita men. I don't think I've seen that in a film about the Civil War. Usually Hollywood makes glamorous depictions of this time in history with handsome leading men and not-a-hair-out-of-place-and no-mascara-running leading women. The actors in this film felt more relatable because they looked like real people. Australian Simon Baker, for one, was completely unrecognizable in this film. Tobey Maguire's ... Read More Rating:  - Tobey Maguire never better, plus great supporting cast Forget Spider-Man. Yeah, different genre, different period. Maguire gives us an outstanding performance as Jake Roedel, a bushwhacking marauder wreaking havoc on the Union Army during the Civil War. Skeet Ulrich as Jack Bull Chiles, Simon Baker as George Clyde and Jeffrey Wright as Daniel Holt are his close associates during most of the ride. With Jonathan Rhys Myers as Roedel's ally/nemesis, Pitt Mackerson; presenting a racist and very convincing neanderthal who just feeds on killing people. I ... Read More Rating: - An Entertainment TreasureBeautiful cinematography; excitement, romance, history; a first rate piece of entertainment. What else do we need? Popcorn! I've read some reviews for this film that were dead-on what this movie is about (like Lawrance from Deluth, MN--the best). I won't even try to go there. But I will tell you I liked it so much I'm going to buy it and watch it many times over; reccommend it to my friends and family. Ride With the Devil is what going to the movies is all about. Rating: - Ang Lee's foray into the WestI was unsure about purchasing RIDE WITH THE DEVIL since I'm not a huge fan of the western genre, but was ultimately won over by the positive feedback it received by fellow Amazonian reviewers. RWTD isn't a western per se, more of a Civil War docudrama. Being a history buff, I'm always interested in the various interpretations others place on our country's darkest hour (especially those not born in the States). The Border Wars between the Jayhawkers and Bushwhackers were not granted major coverage ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
