mahtab600 Wow! if you are alive and haven't seen this movie yet, are you really alive?? believe me when I say this was one of the greatest movies I've ever seen! and "oh my performance"!!! Al Pacino !! he's a living legend! I mean do I even have to say that?!
nguyenthilanhuong I am very happy to give this movie a 10 star. I saw this movie on the movie list of someone I love, and decided to watch it as it has such an catchy name. I thought it would be some romantic movie, but it was more than satisfactory than a ordinary love story. I love the tango dancing scene and would love to learn it sometimes. What a great work!
diogomanuel Al Pacino is one of the best (I would name him the best) actors that Hollywood was ever lucky enough to have! This movie (which in my opinion displays one of Pacino's finest acting work) is a realistic ride of a depressing man "I'm in the dark here!" that finds himself at one of the most difficult crossroads in his life.Desperation; rudeness; honesty; anger and love are so intense and passionately displayed by Pacino that everyone can sense them, and as viewers we have no option but to sympathise with his Frank Slade and immerse ourselves in the story of this blind man that apparently everyone hates, but in reality everyone wants to love and understand.The side story of the Baird student is well put together by Chris O'Donnell but Al Pacino steals the show, as he portrays a blind man so perfectly that we easily forget that he is Al Pacino and we start to think of him as a harsh Lieutenant Colonel.Truth and honesty are not usual synonyms that one can say about a Hollywood movie but Al Pacino turns himself into his characters, and this movie should be presented in every acting school as the finest example of truth in acting.I don't know how many times I've seen this movie but every time I do I enjoy it, and appreciate the hard work that was done throughout it. Thank You Al Pacino!
deickos Although I like the Italian version, and although I think the American takes too long, I am for the latter. The American film has two main characters and thus a more complex and more interesting plot. I believe Pacino is the Academy winner, that deserves this distinction most (besides Brando of course). I can only think of Russel Crowe giving a memorable performance in recent years - I am not for the D.D. Lewis guy.
