Download Free Marvin's Room

Marvin's room is by far one of the greatest tearjerkers of all time. I
basically cried through the entire thing. Fantastic performances from all
the actors, including Leonardo DiCaprio who I despised in every movie of
his
I'd seen (take into consideration I have yet to see What's Eating Gilbert
Grape, which I hear is also fantastic). Meryl Streep blew me away as she
always does, but this movie gets a no-doubt-about-it 10 out of
10..

nice.

pretty cool not so great.

Great movie, I can\t stop watching it.

Estranged since their father's first stroke some 17 years earlier, Lee and Bessie lead separate lives in separate states. Lee's son, Hank, finds himself committed to a mental institution after setting fire to his mother's house. His younger brother, Charlie, seems unfazed by his brother's eccentricities or his mother's seeming disinterest. When Lee comes to the asylum to spring Hank for a week in Florida so that he can be tested as a possible bone marrow donor for Bessie, Hank is incredulous. "I didn't even know you had a sister," he says. "Remember, every Christmas, when I used to say 'Well, looks like Aunt Bessie didn't send us a card again this year?'" "Oh yeah," Hank says. Meanwhile, Marvin, the two women's bedridden father, has "been dying for the past twenty years." "He's doing it real slow so I don't miss anything," Bessie tells Dr. Wally. In Bessie's regular doctor's absence, it has fallen to Dr. Wally to inform Bessie that she has leukemia and will die without a bone marrow transplant. This precipitates the two sisters uneasy reunion. In Marvin's room, Bessie cares for her father's every need. In Lee's eyes, the sacrifice Bessie has made is too great and realizing the old man's welfare will fall to her if Bessie dies, Lee's first instinct is to look for a nursing home. "In a few month's, I'll have my cosmotology degree," she says. "My life is just coming together; I'm not going to give it all up, now!" As first Lee is tested and then the boys for the compatibility of their marrow with Bessie's, the women take stock of their lives and rediscover the meaning of "family." .

blood diamond is also one of leos best films.

Again, I have just signed up tonight and have not had a chance to view and review any movies yet..

Its seems good .

well indeed very shocking.

Neurotic, selfish chain-smoker Meryl Streep goes to visit estranged
sister Diane Keaton--currently the caretaker of their dying father--and
all their old grudges come to the fore. Comedy-drama about sad sacks
leans heavily on its sentimental trappings, with each character
learning a thing or two about 'the bonds of family'. Despite the fact
she obviously doesn't smoke, Meryl Streep is very amusing; Robert De
Niro has an incredibly benign role as a befuddled doctor; Diane Keaton
is convincing as a smudgy drudge who stops fussing every now and then
to beam with life; Leonardo DiCaprio is good as a sullen teenager (who
also gets an education); but Hume Cronyn has an insulting role as a
stroke-victim (a gratuitously-injected character who seems an
after-thought of the screenwriter). This is the kind of
toothache-tearjerker that hasn't gone away since the 1930s; sloppy,
simplistic, it nevertheless has its strengths, not the least of which
is a truly talented cast. Not a bad film, just a routine one. **1/2
from ****.
