2.0 out of 5 stars Hmm..., December 16, 2010

This review is from: Eva (DVD)

I watched this on Hulu on a night that I was exhausted and just vegging out. Too lazy to even get up and turn it off. I give it 2 stars because the countryside scenery was good and I liked her different hairdos and the period costumes. Shortly into the movie I was like hmmmm? when this 1930's family let the 16 yr old daughter bunk up with her older lover inside the house. Then she was on trial and there was a baron, but I didn't know where he came from. He was just there all of a sudden. He was an idiot to put up with her shenanigans and give her gobs of money. And this woman was an idiot to have the hots for this secret agent spy who left all the time without an explanation. The worst thing about this movie was the editing. I wondered if I had fallen asleep and missed chunks of the movie that left me trying to figure out what was going on. I was relieved when it was all over...zzzz.

Dear director/writer Popovici, have you even read the novel 'The Prodigal Son' by Radu Tudoran which you claimed you used in making this movie? Did you bother to understand it? All I can say is that you succeeded in taking a brilliant masterpiece (with reminiscences of another masterpiece 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' by Thomas Hardy) and turned it into garbage! What a waste! I have read the book many times so far and I was waiting for a movie and when it finally came ...what a disappointment! You totally missed the point of this book, you didn't understand at all Eva's inner struggles, her eternal heartbroken state, her LOVE. And why should you? After all you are just one more poor man out there incapable of seeing/sensing the depth of a woman's soul. You dared to give him a name (by the way, 'Tudor' sounds awful in English), when he had no name in the book: it is the only thing she knows and has from him (name which could very well be yet another lie of his) and since she does not has him, she does not want to share his name with anyone. Their first meeting is electrifying, he lays down her destiny in front of her eyes and she simply follows it. This will remain however in her diary as the unhappiest day of her life! And what about his prophetic words 'I'm watching you grow'? Yes, indeed,she grows up only for him, loving him helplessly, hopelessly. The color of her hair changes as she grows, it is a wonderful symbol not only of her painful maturity but also of those unstable, terrifying war times. She is poor, she must work for a living. And the only time Eva is truly alive is when she is with him, the rest is/means nothing to her! And Eva is childless, I urge you to go and read the book and maybe this time you will be able to at least understand if not feel her infinite pain about not being able to have kids (however, in your movie, you proved to be a cruel, heartless man by presenting her as having a miscarriage, and this is because you luck the artistic ability to present the fullness of her pain, so you went for this cheap and cowardly way out!). Her husband, the boy met in Constanta (Liviu) and the family doctor (who is in fact her boss and takes on a paternal role in her life, their friendship built upon their love for music being so dear to Eva) are the only support she has and the war takes all of them away. And finally, THE KEY! When she finally realizes that he will go again, when he is on the train she asks for the key to her apartment back. This key is her freedom! He looks like is going to return the key but then the bombardment begins and everything turns into chaos and death. And Eva remains for the rest of her life the prisoner of her love for him, because she did not get that key, her life, back! She cannot leave Bucharest for America as you suggest in the move (why in the whole world would she be afraid of that outside world that she doesn't even care about and in fact hopes that will finally claim her life one day, when her biggest enemy is her own sick love for him?), she has to stay there and wait for his return ...forever! I hope that one day some other writer and director will pick up this glorious book and make it justice since you, Mr.Popovici, failed miserably.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a waste, September 24, 2010

This review is from: Eva (DVD)

This movie is going into my ever growing list of completely worthless, mentally frustrating movies to watch. No offense to the main actors, as I believe a failed drama is often the fault of the director/producers/writers -- those people whose faces you may never see. I feel sorry for those who wasted their time in producing this. The story was severely disjointed, and the acting was nauseating at times and laughable at others. I had so many moments of, Huh? Say what? and You've got to be kidding me, while watching this. Not worth the couple of hours I will never get back. If only I would learn to make this judgment at the beginning and not convince myself to sit through the whole thing, hoping desperately that the miserable story and acting at some obscure and never atainable point will be redeemed. Blech.
