Excellent Bargain! Two for the Price of One!
I bought this DVD for a colleague of mine who was teaching "Their Eyes Were Watching God" in his class. "Beloved" also happens to a favorite book of his as well. The quality is first rate and you're getting two for the price of one if you think about it. "Beloved" was written by the Nobel Prize Winner Toni Morrison and starring Oprah Winfrey while "Their Eyes Were...

I was really looking forward to watching both of theses movies I purchased. Though, within 15 mintues into "Beloved" it started freezing up on me. This went on until about the last 10 minutes of the movie it stopped. Then when I watched "Thier Eyes Were Watching God", same thing. So I didn't get to enjoy either one of the movies.

This review is from: Beloved/Their Eyes Were Watching God (DVD)
I bought this DVD for a colleague of mine who was teaching "Their Eyes Were Watching God" in his class. "Beloved" also happens to a favorite book of his as well. The quality is first rate and you're getting two for the price of one if you think about it. "Beloved" was written by the Nobel Prize Winner Toni Morrison and starring Oprah Winfrey while "Their Eyes Were Watching God" written by Zora Neale Hurston was long forgotten until Robert Hemenway wrote a book about the queen of the Harlem Renaissance on par with Langston Hughes. Both films are quite an experience. Oprah should have been nominated for an Academy Award in Beloved and Halle Berry was nominated for an Emmy for her performance. They both give brilliant, breathtaking performances in the film with a solid, supporting cast. Both films are first rate in production and are produced by Oprah's film production company. Beloved tries to remain faithful to the novel as does "Their Eyes Were Watching God" in it's adaptation.

The movies were in pristine condition--my son and I have been fans of the movie "Beloved" for years. My god-mom had never seen it but I thought it would be something she would enjoy as well.
As far as th movie "Their Eyes Were Watching God", I myself, had never seen it, but, being a fan of Halle Berry, I thought It would be worth my while to buy it as well. I thoroughly enjoyed both movies and they are definitely a great addition to my DVD collection.

I really enjoyed both of these movies. Oprah should have gotten an award for this movie (Beloved). And as for "There Eyes were Watching God. I give Halle 2 thumbs up.
