hyped garbage

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

excellent and beautiful movie.i watched it 10 years ago when i was teenager in local TV channel. i been trying to watch this movie again,but couldn't find it. if anyone have any source, kind enough to duplicate a copy of VCD,DVD,please let me know. thanks a lot. [email protected] APPLE TREE "The Apple-tree, the singing and the gold." -- Murray's "Hippolytus Of Euripides." In their silver-wedding day Ashurst and his wife were motoring along the outskirts of the moor, intending to crown the festival by stopping the night at Torquay, where they had first met. This was the idea of Stella Ashurst, whose character contained a streak of sentiment. If she had long lost the blue-eyed, flower-like charm, the cool slim purity of face and form, the apple-blossom colouring, which had so swiftly and so oddly affected Ashurst twenty-six years ago, she was still at forty-three a comely and faithful companion, whose cheeks were faintly mottled, and whose grey-blue eyes had acquired a certain fullness. It was she who had stopped the car where the common rose steeply to the left, and a narrow strip of larch and beech, with here and there a pine, stretched out towards the valley between the road and the first long high hill of the full moor. She was looking for a place where they might lunch, for Ashurst never looked for anything; and this, between the golden furze and the feathery green larches smelling of lemons in the last sun of April--this, with a view into the deep valley and up to the long moor heights, seemed fitting to the decisive nature of one who sketched in water-colours, and loved romantic spots. Grasping her paint box, she got out.

This is another excellent love movie that most people miss out on. I remember watching this way back when it was shown on the local public television channel and was so mesmerized by the whole movie. When I first saw it, I was much younger. I enjoyed it so much I wanted to watch it again however it was hard to find a copy and it wasn't played anymore on TV. Many years later I was able to find it at a local movie rental store. Thinking that it probably won't hit the spot like it did the first time, I was wrong. I enjoyed it just as much like the first time. It's hard to find a good love movie involving a romance so full of many emotions. I go back and rent this video every now and then to watch. This movie and "The Notebook" touched my heart in almost the same way. If you enjoyed watching "The Notebook" or haven't seen both and simply enjoy watching heart touching romantic movies then you must watch both! Innocent love lost and betrayed, it's so sad.

I watch this gem about twice a year, when I feel like having a good cry. This film truly transports me to another time and place.There are timeless morality issues dealt with in the story, and the unforgettable ending gives a person goose bumps. Seeing the film inspired me to read the story it's adapted from(The AppleTree.) There are some differences between the story and the film, of course, and the endings are somewhat different, although the overall idea is on the same wavelength. I feel the ending of the film is very,very strong and extremely suited to the film genre as compared to the written page.The music is exquisite. Not only does it cast a beautiful spell from the very first note, but it remains in your mind long after the film is over.A precious, precious film.

I found this film on ebay and was the only person who bid on it, many people are evidently missing out on never seeing this beautiful film. I wasn't sure what to expect cause I bought it on a whim because of the ratings it had gotten in some review books and because James Wilby is in it who I think is one of the most underrated actors alive. Imogen Stubbs is just wonderful, you really feel her pain. You also feel his - he lives his life regretting the choices he made and doesn't seem very happy. I don't want to give anything away but I can't recommend this film enough. It's beautifully directed, top notch acting, and for such a simple story it's amazingly effective. Anyone whose ever loved and lost will feel what the characters are feeling in this film! It will make you cry aswell, otherwise you don't have a heart. ;-)
