Review of Beautiful Dreamer (2006) by Emy F — 11 Nov 2008

The movie looks very good, because they have nailed the cars, costumes, surroundings etc to the time this movie takes place.

But on the other hand, the actors aren't very good, the story is weird and I don't think the characters were reacting realistically.

*** SPOILER WARNING ***.

So we have a loving couple, don't remember her name so I'll call her Carla. She and John lives happily ever after until he is called to fight in a war. He and his buddy crashes their planes and he is pronounced "missing in action".

Two years later, the other guy shows up in a shop and tells Carla that John is alive.

But when she finds John, he suffers from amnesia and dosen't remember her at all.

The plot is interesting, but there's nothing in this movie to keep you interested.

Never ever does Carla actually TRY to make him remember, because some psycho doctor keeps telling her and her dad that if they tell John the truth, he will become completely nuts. (huh?).

Why I don't know, but Carla basically shuts up about it and never slips a comment about the truth.

John, who's name is now Tommy, is dating a woman who has a daughter, but the relationship is just casual.

So nothing really happens. Then wham, he remembers stuff, they get back together and that's it.

A shame really, it looked as if the movie had a lot of heart to bring.
