This review is from: This Is the Sea [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"This is the Sea" is one of those wonders that come along once in a lifetime. I was sitting around late one night, searching for a movie when the came on HBO..after viewing it, I immediately ordered it and owned it. It is incredible: terrific acting, great music by Mike Scott and the Waterboys, Richard Harris and Gabriel Bryne give good, albeit unnoticed superb performances. And the young actors Ross McDade and Samantha Morton, if you want a story that fully shows the "troubles" of Northern Ireland,well i say this is it for, "this is the sea". Enjoy it....I watch it over and over again.

This review is from: This Is the Sea [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is the Sea is a breath of fresh air that moves away from the sterotypical violent potryal of life in N.Ireland.It reflects the thoughts and feelings of the younger generation in Ireland as a whole. A good story combined with a stiring sound track make this a entertaining film.

This review is from: This Is the Sea [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"This is the Sea" was an unexpected surprise. Although the movie is a romance, the real drive is the ongoing fighting in Northern Ireland. The film is a little choppy in a couple of places probably due to editing, but otherwise it moves along nicely telling the story from both a Catholic family and a Protestant family, and the portrayals are not what one might expect. The real gems of the film are the two young lovers, Ross McDade and Samantha Morton. McDade is truly awesome and it's hard not to fall in love with his character, Malachay, and Morton is right on target as the sheltered Hazel. This is a good film worth watching.
