Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Heaven & Earth DVD Review Comment: A good film by Oliver Stone and fine acting by Tommy Lee Jones and others. High-quality picture and sound. Customer Rating: Summary: LOVE IT! Comment: Despite what others may say about cinematography and what not..this movie has stayed in my mind as one of the best pieces of film i have viewed for over a decade...i am, however, glad to see there is a book for me to read more deeply into this woman's life...it was amazing in the movie so i know it will be unbelievable in the book! I liked the fact that Tommy Lee Jones was a tad off, it really fits him and i dont think anyone else with a weathered face and warm smile could have done a better job. I cried and rejoiced with the characters of this movie. Like i said i have never been able to forget it. I think while re-purchasing this movie I will get the book... Thanks Oliver Stone for bringing us this movie! p.s. excuse the grammar folks..i was in a rush :) Customer Rating: Summary: Oliver Stone did some, er, editing... Comment: I liked this movie, but it's nothing like the book, nothing. Ms. Hayslips husband was not a special forces guy who committed suicide and is really not mentioned much in the book other than being much older than her, and I believe he died from emphysema. The movie is good on it's own merits however. Customer Rating: Summary: DV D Jacket for Heaven and Earth Comment: Again, just like the DVD jacket for the Killing Fields, the quality is extremely poor. Poor quality paper and not a proper case as one would purchase in a store. Quite disappointing. This is not what I had paid for. Customer Rating: Summary: A WAR ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WORLD. Comment: heaven and earth is a beautiful, but sad look at a war and turmoil. i saw this movie long ago and i still watch it over and over again. you can't help but get caught up in this film. about a man who all he knows is to fight, and this woman who must do what she can to survive. he's from america and she's from a whole other world. a world where food is scarce, war is everyday life, and where you don't know when you'll live or die. a place a woman called home and her own, until one day the war touched them and destroyed their land. her and her family had to learn to do what they must to survive. her brothers went off to fight, she became a part of this war, doing what she could to help her people. they suffered, she suffered, always knowing she could be the next to die. she learned to love only to be tossed aside left vulnerable and to fend for herself. she did what she had to for survival. then she met this man, a man of war of the opposite side. an american, who was captivated by her from the start. they found a brief moment of happiness and they made a life together. they did the best they could. when it was time for him to come back to america she followed with their children in tow. things got worse not better. their cultures crashed, their nightmares wouldn't leave them alone, and it was a relationship meant to crash and burn. she had fought a war in her country and here in america she was fighting a whole different kind. he needed mental help and she just couldn't deal. a movie with so much insight, and so much to give, it's hard to walk away not remembering it. this woman goes through so much and all she ever wanted was peace and love. it's these kinds of movies that you never want them to end. oliver stone did it again. it deserves an honorable mention no doubt. joan chen, the starring actress did a great job. as for tommy lee jones, he was excellent. he's one of my favorites. there's something about this guys attitude that you can't help but like. overall a very good movie.
