Title: A Heartfelt Coming-of-Age Gem
Review: "The Man in the Moon" is a beautifully crafted coming-of-age film that tugs at your heartstrings and stays with you long after the credits roll. Directed by Robert Mulligan, this poignant story features a young Reese Witherspoon in her first film role, and she delivers a performance that is both captivating and memorable.Set in the rural South during the 1950s, the film follows the story of Dani Trant, a spirited 14-year-old girl navigating the complexities of growing up, family dynamics, and first love. Reese Witherspoon shines in the role of Dani, bringing an infectious energy and authenticity to the character. Her portrayal is full of emotion, capturing the innocence and intensity of adolescence with remarkable depth.The chemistry between Witherspoon and Jason London, who plays her love interest Court Foster, is genuine and touching. Their on-screen relationship is beautifully developed, depicting the sweet and sometimes painful journey of young love. The supporting cast, including Sam Waterston and Tess Harper as Dani's parents, adds layers of warmth and realism to the film.The relationship between the Trant sisters, Dani and Maureen, is beautifully portrayed as a central element of the film. Dani and Maureen share a bond that is both tender and complex. Despite their differences—Dani's tomboyish spirit contrasting with Maureen's mature grace—their sisterly connection is deeply affectionate and supportive. As they navigate the challenges of adolescence and family life, their relationship is tested, particularly when they both develop feelings for the same boy. This rivalry, however, only serves to highlight the depth of their love for each other, as they ultimately come to understand and support one another through heartache and growth, showcasing the enduring strength of sisterly love.The screenplay is well-written, balancing moments of joy and sorrow with a natural ease. It explores themes of family, loss, and personal growth in a way that feels both relatable and profound. The film's pacing allows the story to unfold gracefully, giving the characters room to develop and the audience time to connect with them. "The Man in the Moon" is a heartfelt and beautifully told story that captures the bittersweet essence of growing up and leaves a lasting impression.

Title: Dani is the real catch
Review: I have loved this movie since I was little, and have always wanted to point out: Court would still be alive had he not been reaching for a hat that he only put up while messing around with Maureen, an older sister who knowingly and secretly messes around with her little sister Dani's first love. I know it's just a movie, but I always hoped Maureen's actions haunted her, and in no way was she "hurting" more than Dani. Dani is only overlooked by everyone because of her age, but she has more a pioneer's spirit than every character combined.

Title: Withersparrow
Review: Reece Withersparrow is awesome, but let's talk about the story. So, spoon is really into this dude but dude isn't that into her, more interested in her older sister. They start to quarrel and dude and old girl start getting it on while mum is in hospital. Now, when they get back, homegirl is unaware, but dude and old girl are getting it on in the bushes behind her back. Homegirl suspects something is afoot, while him and old girl are mounting each other in the bush. Now when they're finished, old girl runs back home, meanwhile dude, on cloud nine from the naked sex, attempts a dope stunt off the tractor to grab his hat, fails, and gets ground up like a meat sausage. Homegirl finds the body of her deceased boyfriend and erupts in anger at her sister from the naked sex and the consequences that followed. It ends with homegirl and old girl settling their differences meanwhile the love smothered dude lays rotting in a grave with no face.

Review: I believe that this was Reese Witherspoon's first major movie, and it just demonstrates why she went on and became the terrific actress that she now is.Casting directors have their work cut out to get it right and this movie shows just how right they got it for The Man In The Moon; and while the star was undoubtedly Ms Witherspoon, all roles were played superbly.The storyline, as old as the hills, a teeneger's first love, was portrayed brilliantly by Witherspoon, and I could feel the wrangling and confusion in her mind as her feelings got on top of her where, briefly at times, her emotions totally excluded all around her, sibling sister, parents and all - myself to a tee when I was 13 years of age!The heartache at the end was tough to take, but this is one film that will be watched over and over. Highly recommended.

Review: 10年前にこの映画を偶然テレビで観た時の衝撃といったら!1.こんな大感動作が日本で劇場未公開なんて信じられない。2.主演のリース・ウィザースプーンはただ者ではないぞ。3.映画の舞台となったアメリカ南部の夏の美しさとけだるい暑さが映画を観ている者にも伝わってくるこの不思議な感覚は何だろう?4.こんなに美しいファースト・キスシーンは観た事がない。5.そして10年経った今でもあの感動は少しも薄らいでいない。 1957年、ルイジアナ州のある田舎町にエルビスが大好きなお転婆娘ダニー(リース)と才色兼備の姉モリーン(エミリー・ワーフィールド)は何でも話せる大の仲良し姉妹。ある日、母親の親友一家が近所に引っ越してきた。長男のコート(ジェイソン・ロンドン)はハンサムな青年に成長していた。そんな彼に恋するダニー。一方コートはダニーの姉モリーンと惹かれ合う。恋人を取られたため姉を許せないダニーだが、ある日悲劇が起こり、それをきっかけに2人は仲直りをする。 一見どこにでもある青春映画のように聞こえるかもしれないが、この映画は違う。この映画は人生について語っているのだ。家族愛(親子、夫婦、きょうだい)、初恋、生と死、将来についての不安などの要素がぎっしりと詰まっている。 そしてこの映画をより一層魅力的にしているキャスト陣。特に主演のリース・ウィザースプーンには圧巻だ。当初エキストラで出演予定だったリースを監督が気に入り、主演に抜擢したのは大正解だ。表情豊かな演技はもちろん、体全体でダニーを演じている(彼女は劇中ほとんど走っている)リースはとてもチャーミングだ。私はこの映画を観てリースの大ファンになったが去年公開された「キューティー・ブロンド」や今年公開される「メラニーは行く!」で確実にハリウッド・スターとしての地位を獲得し、日本でもようやく知られるようになった彼女。どんどん有名になって彼女の素晴らしさが知れ渡るのはうれしいことだが、ただのラブコメ女優ではないリースの魅力の原点を私はこの映画「マン・イン・ザ・ムーン」に見出すことができる。 物語もとても感動的なので老若男女、すべての人にこの映画を観ることを勧める。欲を言えばビデオ、DVD、サントラを手頃な値段で日本で販売して欲しいという事だけだ。
