The trailer is revealing just the surface...plot is important, novel as well, but the particulars, the narrow folds revealed of the english society of that time is the most taste of this masterpiece. Did you notice Leonard Bast will be dying under the object of his freedom research itself? ....The poors are poors, we are sorry for this, but there it is.
was this really the original trailer?? No point in watching the film after having seen that - it gives away absolutely everything that would have been unexpected to the first-time viewer!
Me gusta mucho como refleja la época, las distintas clases y la complejidad de sus personajes. Anthony y Vanessa están muy bien. Emma, simplemente lo borda. Buena película, aunque creo que The Remains of the day es bastante mejor.
It's a great movie, but the subject matter is really upsetting. I thought Carter's character was as bad a person as Hopkins. Both of them see lower-class people as something they can toy with and discard at leisure.
The trailer is horrible. It is the most revealing trailer I've ever seen. It very casually shows all the major plot points and also the climax! Don't watch it if you haven't seen the film or read the book.
Yes, I agree. Trailers do have a tendency to rather annoyingly do that sort of thing! But uh....you mentioned 'revealing' and 'climax'. CLIMAX! Where? WHERE?! Oh---h, that sort of cli.... ;-)
I can understand complexity, and I can appreciate the dramatics of the film... but I think I often sleep through it is because it comes across as a dry British film to me, or I'm already tired and the couch is too comfy.
The title is incorrect. It should be spelled out as "Howards End," without an apostrophe. I am irritated to see someone saying they love this film and at the same time misspelling in such a manner.
Dear irritated, Yes, I too absolutely deplore this sort of thing. It's quite simply, terribly unforgivable AND insufferable with it, isn't it?! Do you think this sort of person should be horsewhipped to within an inch (or approx. 2.54cm) of their life?! Or perhaps that sounds just a trifle lenient? Tell me....umm.... Your not 'straining a stool' over it though, are you? You are?! O-H SPLE-NDID!
I read the book after seeing the movie, and, though the book was good, what really struck me was how perfectly Howard's End was adapted to the screen. If you're thinking that the book will lay out clearly all of the main themes, you will be disappointed. The reader, like the viewer, is left to find his or her own way to some extent.
what year was the movie filmed? i can't imagine helena and emma thompson working together, when helena had an affair with kenneth branagh while emma is still his wife.
The movie was released in 1991, so it was probably filmed 1990 or early 1991. Helena's affair with Kenneth Branagh was in 1993-1994. (Frankenstein came out in 1994.)
Factoid: ET and HBC are now starring the Harry Potter series together.
The trailer gave away the entire film? Well, in a sense, maybe; but, the story is an eternal theme, isn't it? A story of right and wrong, good and evil? Who among us doesn't know prominent people who claim to be moral, yet bend and twist the definition of morality to suit their own needs and wants? People who make concessions for their own ilk yet insist upon rigid moral applications for all others?
omg loved seeing Helena Bonham Carter and Emma Thompson together at 00:21 , two of my fav actresses!!

Just give up and watch the Big Brother, maybe it's a too complicated film for you, not everyone can understand and appreciate it.

Watch it when you're not tired :)

A Merchant-Ivory-Prawe Jhabvala masterpiece, a unique picture of society as it was and will always be.
The Academy was extremely idiotic in awarding it so few awards. But then again they seldom make the right choice. Right idiots.
