Review of How Green Was My Valley (1941) by Connor G — 29 Mar 2014
Saddly remembered as the winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1941over "Citizen Kane". Nobody remembers its beauty, some doesn't even know the movie at all. It is John Ford at his best.
The movie has too much texture and power, courage and beauty. A fine tearjerker that makes me sigh and cry for the past. It isn't only a good film, it is a very personal film. It is an authentic portrayal in which Ford involves himself.
The movie has humor, drama, romance and an amazing musical score. It is maybe the best movie made by 20th Century Fox and I could say that more than only a picture. The end makes me cry, but not because it is a sad story.
It is because its beauty I'm sure will never be accomplished again, only John Ford could make a film as profound and romatic as "How Green Was My Valley". A real masterpiece.
