One of the best movies ever, have seen it ten times I think. The director Lasse Hallström is a genius, both this movie and Gilbert Grape are Oscar worthy! And Charlize Theron, the most beautiful girl in the world

I think Michael Caine is the best of the film, im not british, im spanish, but he is a genius, one of the best ever, i remember one fim in 1972 with Laurence Olivier, im admire you Sr you are great

@banzansberger Although I have never read the book(and agree in dislike of Tobey Maguire) I believe that he was an excellent Homer Wells in this movie. Phenominal film.
1:20 that sound clip is from the old PC game Heroes of Might and Magic 3. They use it on South Park a lot too... I always thought it was really from that game... is it just a common stock orchestra flourish?
This is one amazing movie, I watched it recently. I love the story and the plot. I gotta check out the book, when I first saw this I know it had to be a book.
I didn't like this movie at all. I found Charlize's character annoying. She seemed a bit full of herself. When she says "I'm no good at being alone" I wondered if she was a sex addict?
This movie one of the greatest reflections of the subtle insanity of our society. Amidst the beautiful scenery and the heart-melting music.... you realize this movie centers on abortion? I mean it's incredibly morbid if you just stop for a second. That pot he's carrying at 1:00? It's the 'waste from the procedure.' It's the body of an aborted fetus. I know the characters have redeeming qualities. But still, I "felt like I was taking crazy pills" when I watched this movie. WTF.
@jpl7777 It's the fucked up bits that quite often make the movie awesome...there's a lot worse out there than a bit of abortion here and there, it's not the 1940's anymore.
@rustedrainbow I absolutely do not think it was an intentional plot point that they take abortion that nonchalantly. IMO, abortion isn't something you take lightly. You're either strongly for the right to have one, or you're strongly opposed. I just think it's really, really messed up.
@jpl7777 I'm not of the opinion that the film was noncholant about abortion, nor is that my own opinion. Whether it's abortion, rape, murder, huge amounts of violence, all i mean is that that is what often makes a good movie, because who would want to watch a film where everything was perfect, what kind of interesting thoughts or emotions would be brought up by that?
Thsi movie looks like dildos compared to the book. Where is the long scene about sucking off ponies? Where is the ether addiction? Where is the gonerrea? Dildos
This film received a 12 rating in the UK, that means anyone aged 12 or over could watch it. However, in Ireland the film received an 18 rating, meaning only people aged 18 or over could see it. The reason being because the plot involved abortion!
I haven't seen this movie. Is it true there's a torture scene? If there is, then I respect the 18 rating. Somebody on another "cider house" video mentioned the torture scene involved a ceiling fan and an ice cream scoop.
To the person who asked about a torture scene, no, there is no torture scene in this movie. I can't speak about the book, but the movie definitely has no such thing. The rating is for brief nudity (of Charlize Theron hubba hubba), language, and for adult content (one important theme in the movie deals with abortion).
i saw the movie and it sucks, compared to the book if u read it, it makes no sense, they left out so many good stuff with like rose rose and yeah i wouldnt recommend it
I'm only giving you a negative comment because I don't think one single person could know what God thinks. Then again the existence of God is debatable, but that's how I feel.
my brothers were in this movie the are the babies in the shelter and my brother sam is the one who carried up the hill in northampton (they are twins so both appeared)
Life starts at conception. Not at three months like Polosi claims!!!...............People should be more responsible so abortion does not have to happen. Every man and woman has a choice to ever have relations. And rape is a horribble thing, but addoption is an alternative. Beauty can come out of a horrible evil. Too bad the horrible evil has to happen. Unfortunatly abortion is an option. Think of how many rape babies grew up to be amazing individuals. Im out on a limb.
the book is such nice and i was so desapointed when i saw the movie ... if u have the choice, choose the BOOK first ...then you'll probably find the movie so poor compared to it...
Because those rules were written by folks who died long ago and never even lived in the cider house and the rules did not make any sense to those workers. A parallel to women and their right to choice. The rules (laws) are written by men who have no clue about the difficult choice/decision of abortion. Rules may make sense sometimes but only when you experience reality, you know you have to make a decision.
I love this film, it's so beautiful and so sad at the same time. My favourite scenes are when Buster makes up the story about how Fuzzy got adopted by "a nurse or a nanny, so let's be happy for him" and Dr. Larch is standing outside the door, crying, and the scene where he was just buried and they say their evening prayer without him.
Fuzzy does die. it's really sad when he does b/c Homer and Dr. Larch hide it from the children and tell them he was adopted by someone who could take better care of him...
austen.... thanx for the reply....but what did he die of? and how does the movie end? i dont think ill see it :( i dont find it! sorry for the bother..lol
the saddest part of the movie is when buster says to the children lets be happy for fuzzy he has found a new home good night fuzzy and all the children said good night fuzzy and fuzzy died T-T
well i would say it does it some justice, seeing as how john irving wrote the screenplay himself. i love the movie and the book in their own respective lights...the book is so desciptive, but the movie mirrors that as much as it can.
i understand that john irving wrote the screenplay, and he spent several years writing it. i still say the movie blows compared to the book. melanie isn't in the movie, and buster isn't in the book (although i understand he basically serves as homer wells). it is too sprawling and meandering a narrative to funnel into a two hour movie. i never believed in homer and candy's relationship in the movie ("wally knows i can't be alone") pffftt. oh yeah, where's wally in the movie? paul rudd? cmon
OK, Michael Caine did NOT deserve the Oscar for this! They only gave it to him because he is a ledgendary old actor. Also, the Academy must have thought one Oscar just wasn't enough. That award SHOULD have gone to young Haley Joel Osment, who gave one of the most powerful, strong and memorable preformances of all time. He took on a very challenging role, unlike Michael Caine's character that any actor could have played. So what if he was 11?He still gave one of the best preformances of all time.
i totally disagree that michael caine shouldn't have won. if you read the book, you find out that dr. larch has a very interesting past, and it makes him a very challenging part to play.
haley joel in what movie??? he's not even IN this movie. i think michael caine did an amazing job, not anyone could have played his character the way he did.
now I've seen the movie and i was a bit disappointed...,it is quite different from the book,..c'mon john where's angel wells?..i like it better in the book..the movie?not so...tobey did a very good job though.
i've read the book just recently and yet to watch the movie,but unfortunately no copy is available in video shop...still looking forward to have it,..i like it very much..it really rules..spectacular.!!
THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE! I can't imagine if the book is even better. YOU WON'T REGRET IT IF YOU SEE IT! The orphanage was truly a special place with special people.
If you think the movie is good, just read the book. They left so much out of the movie and really condensed the amount of time it covers. Some of the book is a little more descriptive than I enjoyed (abortions) but if you look over that than you will find a truly touching story.
Dr. Larch's dead makes me cry each time I watch this movie.:'( I love Michael Caine for his performance. And I love Rachel Portman for this fantastic score!
One of the greatest films of the last 10 years. I am so glad John Iriving adapted his own novel for the screen, because no one else could have. Michael Caine gave a phenomenal performance, but I thought the standout performance was deffinantly Delroy Lindo. One of the few novel to films that I thought was done well!
thumbs up pls if i have to watch it.... if i get 25 ok!!!! il watch it i promise

THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE! I can't imagine if the book is even better. YOU WON'T REGRET IT IF YOU SEE IT! The orphanage was truly a special place with special people.

If you think the movie is good, just read the book. They left so much out of the movie and really condensed the amount of time it covers. Some of the book is a little more descriptive than I enjoyed (abortions) but if you look over that than you will find a truly touching story.

Dr. Larch's dead makes me cry each time I watch this movie.:'( I love Michael Caine for his performance. And I love Rachel Portman for this fantastic score!

One of the greatest films of the last 10 years. I am so glad John Iriving adapted his own novel for the screen, because no one else could have. Michael Caine gave a phenomenal performance, but I thought the standout performance was deffinantly Delroy Lindo. One of the few novel to films that I thought was done well!
