Product Description

Product Description

As the only U.S. president re-elected three times, he brilliantly led America through the Great Depression and World War II. But the toughest challenge Franklin Delano Roosevelt ever faced was one the country never saw. Kenneth Branagh stars in this stirring true story of Roosevelt's battle after being left a paraplegic by polio in 1921. Cynthia Nixon plays his dedicated wife Eleanor, who took up the mantle of the public FDR while her husband sought out a "miracle" cure in a rural Georgia health spa. Also with Kathy Bates and David Paymer. Directed by Joseph Sargent (HBO's Something the Lord Made).

Warm Springs is a riveting, deeply moving film about a lesser-known chapter in the life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the American president who saw his country through the dark, terrible times of the Great Depression and most of World War II. Before those epochal events, however, Roosevelt spent time in a political wilderness, groomed for high office but struck down by polio at age 39. Warm Springs is the fascinating story of Roosevelt's painful journey from despair back to wisdom and leadership. Kenneth Branagh gives an emotionally raw, courageous performance as FDR, estranged from his wife, Eleanor (a near-luminous Cynthia Nixon), and his political guru (David Paymer) while ambivalently seeking rehabilitation at Warm Springs, a broken-down spa in the backwoods of Georgia. Mired in misery, misanthropy, and drink, Roosevelt is coaxed back to civilized behavior and a glimmer of altruism by the spa's ailing, folksy manager, Tom Loyless (a remarkable Tim Blake Nelson), and the ministrations of a progressive-minded, physical therapist (solid work by Kathy Bates). Word of Roosevelt's improvement in the buoyant, mineral-rich waters of Warm Springs draws other polio victims--some of whom endure terrible discrimination and misery while traveling—to the spa. In time, these hopeful, all-ages paraplegics form a community that inspires a sense of mission in Roosevelt, setting the stage for his return to the political arena. Surehanded, 80-year-old veteran director Joseph Sargent (on a roll following his lovely, 2004 cable movie Something the Lord Made) has made a pitch-perfect and intimate, historical drama one never wants to see end. --Tom Keogh

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Story of Courage and Compassion
    Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This story wasn't at all what I expected. I thought it would be about the relationship between FDR and Eleanor's social secretary. Part of the reason I thought that was the picture. It is supposed to be Eleanor, but Eleanor Roosevelt neither looked nor spoke the way she was portrayed in this film. Her spirit, however, was evident.

    While the series "Franklin and Eleanor" was more about Eleanor, this one is more about Franklin and his struggle with polio. Eleanor, having been humiliated by Franklin, who only decided to stay with her because otherwise he would lose his trust fund, stays with him faithfully. When he is diagnosed with polio, she honorably steps in to support, encourage, and finally to stand in for Franklin when he was discouraged, depressed, and too ill to even consider politics. They learned from each other. He, a spoiled, privileged, mama's boy used to getting anything and everything he wanted learned compassion and sensitivity from what he saw around him as he battled polio. He traveled to Warm Springs, Georgia where he got to know and love people who were so poor they couldn't put food on the table at times. Those who were afflicted with polio as he was couldn't afford medical treatment. The story takes place as his eyes are opened to real pain and poverty and has to fight to get them the help they needed.

    Franklin is depressed, feeling sorry for himself until the physical therapist, masterfully portrayed by Kathy Bates, puts things in perspective for him. That scene is worthy of an award, where she explains to him he has had a marriage, a wife, children, a successful career. Some of the other patients never have had those things and never will.

    After recognizing the terrible situation and making a commitment to help, he fought to use his own personal trust, sold valuable artwork and other possessions at a time when there were few buyers, and then discovered his most powerful weapon and intellectual equal, Eleanor, to convince the medical community of the value of treatment centers such as Warm Springs. There was one scene that brought me to tears when I hadn't really thought this would be an emotional movie. It related to other polio victims struggling to walk. In another scene, the medical community will have nothing to do with Franklin. He asks to speak at their convention and they refuse him. When Eleanor visits Warm Springs and sees what he's up against, she suggests they crash the convention. With Eleanor at his side and in his corner, the rest is history. What an amazing story!

    All actors did an excellent job in their portrayal of the characters. Kenneth Branagh brought a real quality of work especially in portraying the former president in the anguish he endured. This is an fantastic real life movie worth repeat watching. Closed captioning was appreciated and although very few swear words were uttered, it was nice to be able to use the closed caption filter box we have on hand for viewing questionable content.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's Our Story
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    That this story about THE pivotal period in the life of a famous and privileged man turns out to be the story of an ordinary individual confronting difficult circumstances faced by other ordinary individuals, and finding a path forward, is what is so impressive about both the film and the man. Let's not mince words: Warm Springs is the story of an ordinary man's recovery from depression and the example he sets for others to follow. These biographical dramas always have a tough road to hoe and usually bite off too much, relying on formulas in an effort to tell too much story in too little time. Warm Springs strictly avoids that mistake and instead focuses on a fulcrum period in FDR's evolution into the man the world would come to know--simultaneously vulnerable and masterful. It's fortunate that most people will never know the depth of despair that often comes with a premature loss of health, physical vitality, and sexual vigor. Roosevelt may have come from the ranks of the elite, but he wasn't immune to that despair. And though he finds himself deep in a black hole (what friend and fellow depressive Winston Churchill called his own "Black Dog"), he eventually--slowly, gradually, incrementally, as it is for most people--pulls himself out. Sargent's film draws us into that slow and gradual process but always maintains our attention with a poignant, intelligent screenplay and stand-out performances, particularly Branagh's. "So," you might ask, "If FDR had such a great recovery example to set for the rest of us, why didn't he write a 'self-help' book!!?" Well, he did. Check out You Learn By Living and other works by Eleanor Roosevelt. Historians have only occasionally documented this period of FDR's life, and I don't believe any of that work is as compelling and visceral as this film. Viktor Frankl wrote in Man's Search For Meaning that a person finds happiness by doing something he likes, loving someone, and learning to deal with suffering. In Georgia, FDR finds a new community of people and an egalitarianism he becomes personally committed to. Though he spends much of this period apart from his wife, the endurance of their marriage seems to grow into something central to each spouse's identity. And it is in Georgia that he deals painstakingly with his suffering--the reckoning, the recovery, the personal growth--and is enriched by the transformative power of that pain. This healing is not just his story. It's ours.

    Good quality original dvd which arrived on time.
    Interesting story line which shows how people work.
    ie, it was very fortunate that the future president of America got hit with polio and went looking for help to combat it or the other people in his situation at the time would never have received the help he was eventually able to give with the influence and power of his position, or they would have waited a lot longer for someone else to help them out.
