Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Actor-turned-director Keith Gordon has crafted a touching love story that transcends time, political ideology, and even death. The movie opens in 1974 as Fielding Pierce (Billy Crudup) watches a TV news report announcing the death in Chile of three American activists, including Sarah Williams (Jennifer Connelly), his one true love. The story flashes back to when they first met, showing how he was always more conservative, with grand political aspirations, but the relationship worked because they both shared dreams of making the world a better place, one from inside the system and the other from outside. The movie also flashes forward to his life in the early '80s, when he gets tapped to run for Congress. He starts having visions of her, but he is never quite sure if she's a hallucination arising out of his stress, a manifestation of his political consciousness, an out-and-out ghost, or maybe she's still alive somehow. Whatever she is, his deep longing for her is making him crack up. Gordon smartly jumps the story back and forth in time, forgoing an "objective" reality in favor of a more subjective and emotional one. It is a structure based on memory, and that in tandem with the content is what makes Waking the Dead a very powerful film indeed.--Andy Spletzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bravo!WOW! I think Jennfier Connely was real & the CIA made it look like there was a fire. Great acting by both main characters. Rating:  - If you haven't seen this movie then you shouldI love this movie for so many reasons... Its a great movie about love and loss. He sees his girlfriend everywhere he goes and he remembers all the good times and how they had to work out all their differences. He was a into politics and had alot of different views and was hoping to be president one day, his girlfriend Sarah wanted to save the world and no more war kind of view. They had a this love for each other that no matter how far apart thier views were they loved ...

Not that the Scott Spencer novel is bad (I would give it four stars), but I think that the fact that the movie refuses to answer the central question of whether or not Sarah really is alive (and not by a screen turning black, but by focusing the attention on Fielding's point of view instead) adds to the mysterious elements of the plot. Jump at the chance to buy this movie. It is one of the best of the last ten years, ... Read More Rating: - Love this movieFirst of all, Billy Crudup and Jennifery Connoly are beautiful and I didn't fully realized it until I saw this movie. Second, the conflict that arises when two people with lofty ideals try to better the world by taking parallel paths with hopes of accomplishing the same goals is compelling. I wish there was a little more plot exposition in the early days of their relationship because I agree it is at first hard to accept the intensity of their love with the whirlwind version that we see in the film. ...

Don't blink or you'll miss Ed Harris appear on a TV screen. The movie tuggs at heart strings. Not the best but great. Not too original but is satisfying. Song at the ends along with Crudup is reason enough to watch. Browse for similar items by category:
