Watch In Love and War For Free

You won't be disappointed!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

In Love and War (1996): Dir: Richard Attenborough / Cast: Chris O'Donnell, Sandra Bullock, MacKenzie Astin, Ingrid Lacey, Alan Bennett: Here is one of the stupider more manipulative war films that is more about somebody attempting to get into someone else's pants. Technically well made yet cheats viewers with its pathetic tearjerker ending. Chris O'Donnell stars as a soldier torn between the love of the nurse and the hate of the war around him. He is shot in the leg during World War 1 and spends the remainder of the film within a boring romance with a nurse until arriving at an ending that should grant every viewer their money back. Directed by Richard Attenborough with realistic yet graphic images of war. He previously made Gandhi and Chaplin so this is a major step down. O'Donnell and Sandra Bullock are hardly convicting because they are used to jerk viewers around with their romantic bullshit as oppose to address real issues regarding the war. In bland supporting roles are MacKenzie Astin and Ingrid Lacey who can only hope that this garbage isn't the end for them in terms of their careers. Had the film concentrated on conditions of victims, hospitals and effects of the war then it might have been convicting but it sidetracks that by turning the concept into romantic drivel in its peep show depravity. As it is it is more war than love. Score: 3 / 10

Love in WarThis is a movie about war and some challenges that people face there. The events unfold in Intaly during World War I. Ernerst Hemingway, the main character, is a young man who serves as a reporter. War is always connected with risk, so one day Ernie appeared in the hospital. Here he mets his love, Agnes von Kurowsky. She is a beautiful and talented nurse who can't stay indifferent for this handsome and charming youth. I can not say that this movie became my favorite one, but I like it. This is a romantic story. However, «In Love and War» touches many issues that are actual even now days.There are a number of positive moments for me. As it was already mentioned, the problems appeared in the movie can be interested for many people. Such topics as friendship, love, bravery, betrayal and pride are reflected in the movie. And now a few words about the way the film was shot. I like the director's work. The movie contains many interesting foreshortening. There are a lot of scenes with nature and we can enjoy different landscapes. The choice of actors is good. The main character, Agnes von Kurowsky, is created by a brilliant actress, Sandra Bullock. She is so aristocratic and realistic in the film that I believe her for 100%. Besides, the ending of the movie is unexpected.Nevertheless, there are some negative moments either. The beginning of the movie is overextended and some scenes seem unnecessary. My strongest disappointment is in the fact that this movie does not cause any strong emotions. Of course, it makes you sympathize with the main characters but you are not immersed in the atmosphere entirely. As a result, the movie won't stay in memory for a long time.Despite of the boring beginning, the film is worth watching. It is a thought-provoking and touching love-story. Moreover, it is based on the real events. So we can get some details about Hemingway's life. If you want to create your own clear impression of this story, I would recommend you to read a book ''A Farewell to Arms'' at first.

Richard Attenborough's "In love and War" is beautifully made, with an intriguing story, believable characters, and authentic locations.It's also a fascinating movie for anyone interested in the real story behind Ernest Hemingway's novel "A Farewell to Arms", and the films made from it, as well as the Nick Adams stories, which were filmed as "Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man". It depicts a pivotal experience that helped shape Hemingway into the writer now hailed as the greatest of his generation.Ernest Hemingway, played by Chris O'Donnell, is a volunteer ambulance driver with the Italian Army facing the Austrians in Northern Italy during WW1. When he is badly wounded, he is sent to an American hospital in Milan. It is here that he meets Agnes von Kurowsky – an American nurse with a Teutonic name. Before long, he is hopelessly in love with her. He is ardent but she is less so, although he slowly wears her down. They have an affair and Hemingway expects to marry her when they return to America.Although Hemingway goes home, Agnes stays, eventually informing Ernest that they are finished romantically. Hemingway is crushed and embittered, so much so, that when Agnes comes to see him back in America, he drives her away although she professes her love for him.The last scene in the movie is a powerful one, although, as a number of reviewers have noted, it didn't happen; Ernest never saw Agnes again after he left Italy, but he certainly was crushed and embittered.Some researchers claim their affair was never consummated. Agnes said as much in a letter to one of the co-authors of the book upon which "In Love and War" is based when she stated, "I wasn't that kind of girl". However, other witnesses claim that it was an affair in every sense of the word. Whatever the depth of the affair, I can't help feeling that the filmmakers should have found a way to end it the way it really happened – but I guess the thought of that final meeting was just too tempting.In reality, Agnes sent a letter citing the age difference as the main factor; she was 7 years older and often referred to Hemingway as 'Kid'; he carried the pain of this rejection throughout his life. One astute observer felt that it explained why Hemingway was always the first to break off his marriages, relationships and friendships – on the principal of get them before they get you.Sandra Bullock's restrained performance is perfect – casting a beautiful Hollywood star in the role does not exaggerate Agnes von Kurowsky's charms – judging from photographs of her online, she was indeed beautiful. Chris O'Donnell is also fine as the brash, over-confident Hemingway whose inexperience with women shows.The film also brings to life an obscure piece of history. Before America's entry into WW1, many American men and women volunteered to be nurses or ambulance drivers in France and Italy. They saw the carnage of war first-hand. In a scene in "Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man", inspired by Hemingway's experiences depicted in "In Love and War", Nick Adam's physician father says to his son after he has naively volunteered to be an ambulance driver, "Do you know what war is Nick? In a surgeon's tent, that's where you find out about war." "In Love and War" honours the altruistic and adventurous spirit of those men and women, and the price many of them paid – including a shattered leg and a broken heart from Hemingway himself.

If it hadn't been about Ernest Hemingway the move would have been a mediocre, quickly digested and forgotten romance. If you know anything about Hemingway the movie is basically unwatchable. Chris O'Donnel's "Hemingway" is nothing but your stereotypical, one dimensional "kid goes off to war" type and seems to bear no relation to Hemingway himself. Sandra Bullock manages to bring a little depth to her character which I am guessing was dead on the page. She earned a little respect from me in that regard.If you want to watch this movie because you are interested in the subject matter, for the love of God skip it. If you just want to watch a mindless romance and you've chosen this one because it's the most available to you at the moment, go ahead I guess, just don't feel like you've learned something from it.
