Love this film. This scene in particular just speaks volumes to me. Real true intimacy - reaching out and sharing even if it is painful. "That's the Deal" - Joy and Pain two sides of the same coin, how can you recognise Joy unless you have suffered Pain. Wonderful clip.
Love, Love this movie. Anthony Hopkins has got to be one of the (if not THE) greatest actor living! But I must confess, I didn't like Debra Winger in this.
Watched this film over and over again - and always sob my eyes out at this clip. Truly Beautiful Love Story - He always thought Love was not for him - until he met the Love of his Life.
go on amazon, but look very good, you can buy it for 8 Euro. In Amazon, there is one site, whre the DVD cost among 189 (!) -euro. I was stunnes by that price.
Watched this film over and over again - love this scene where she is preparing him for her death - she is so worldly/emotionaly wise in comparison to him. It was wonderful to watch such a highly intelligent academic such as C S Lewis fall hopelessly in love. Awesome!!!
A wonderful film. When Douglas bangs his hands on the back of the wardrobe and finds no Narnia awaiting, we are aware the inevitable loss of childhood innocence. He must face his mothers illness and share in the knowledge that life is so fragile. Earlier in the film Lewis says 'what a dangerous world we live in' - how true he was.
A truly engaging love story, portrayed by superb actors. To understand the emotion the phrase THE PAIN THEN IS PART OF THE HAPPINESS NOW generates, you have got to live the experience.
I was at the farm where this scene was filmed, in English Bicknor, near the Wye river in the Cotswolds. Just down the road from Eastbach Farm House. And yes, it really is that beautiful there.
every godly christian man will need to experience this moment in time either with their wife and children when they got through pain/suffering/grief which is part of the joy we experience here in earth which one day will be perfected in Heaven with God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Christians who believe they are better or morally superiour, who are not genuinely honest, not kind but vindictive and spiteful, like most Christians out there, then they're not paying attention to their credo. And athiests who do not critique the reasons for thier own beliefs as much as they do Christian beliefs, they almost always do not care as much about truth, be it God or not, as they would like everyone to think.
If agnostic's ever have a Heaven, C.S. Lewis will surely be invited in. If only every Christian was as wise, as kind, as creative, and as honest as this Oxford gentleman was.
Incidentally, I've read C S Lewis's biography and the play this film is based on is not factually accurate (Joy had two sons Douglas and David who were much older than Douglas is portrayed here), but it's a good story nonetheless, and a lot of the dialogue is straight out of Lewis's essay "A Grief Observed"
This is one of my favourite films of all time. I've no doubt it would have won all the oscars it was nominated for if it had come out in any other year than that of Schindler's List. I've not seen the BBC version but it's on my must see list.
Through a friend, I just got introduced to Fenton's AMAZING soundscore to this movie. Amazingly beautiful, and not i see that Mr. Hopkins is in the movie.
Wow this is a very touching scene..can't wait to see it. Hopkins is just so amazing. I recall wathcing Meet Joe Black, whenever this man talked to his daughter or shared some wisdom, it was pretty hard not to keep them tears back!
Comments below aside, I would like to once again recommend that people see the BBC version with Joss Acklund. I have recently watched both versions again, and stand firm in my opinion that Anthony Hopkins just ran mechanically through the part, and had no real sympathy with C.S. Lewis at all. Is there no one else in agreement? Joss Acklund, in contrast, delivers a very heart-touching and sincere performance.
incidentally the last moments in thay beautiful valley is the wye valley *from the paintings) this is on the welsh / english borders a stunning area where they hold the legendary woodstock of the mind book festival with bill clinton and co
the movie must be one of the most under rated masterpieces of all time
hopkins and debra winger make an amazing pair
CS Lewis was the irish/welsh genius behind narnia and it was amazing to see the take on his character. deeply religious learned man who needed a straight talking american gal. beautiful
I remembered your comment about the BBC version and ordered it. I have an interest in all things Lewis. I must disagree however. I thought Attenboroughs version and Hopkins portrayal conveyed a more vulnerable and engaging personality. I would could have a pint with that fellow. Thanks for the suggestion though,I have it my collection!
Definitely one of the most poignant moments of "Shadowlands"- a beautiful movie of C.S. Lewis' and Joy Gresham's marriage...I really love this movie and the music so much- C.S. Lewis's writings and life inspires me to continue to strive to know Christ more fully :-)
