Product Description
Winter's Tale (DVD) Academy Award®--winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) writes, produces and makes his directorial debut with this timeless supernatural love story based on Mark Helprin's acclaimed novel. Set in a mythic New York City and spanning more than a century, WINTER'S TALE is about miracles, crossed destinies, and the age-old battle between good and evil. Peter Lake (Colin Farrell -- Saving Mr. Banks) is a master thief, who never expected to have his own heart stolen by the beautiful Beverly Penn (Jessica Brown Findlay – Downton Abbey). But their love is star-crossed: she burns with a deadly form of consumption, and Peter has been marked for a much more violent death by his one-time mentor, the demonic Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe).

soft tones of voice and dialogue - make this movie an engaging, emotionally worthwhile journey.
The gorgeous cinematography, the atmospheric settings, the striking characters and circumstances,
the evocative, spine-tingling score ~ all combine to make a lyrical and haunting film.
In viewing, it might serve you well to be something of a romantic. Able to let yourself be
swept away into an imaginative premise and picturesque settings. If you know the Mark Helprin book,
don't let internal comparisons distract, seeking that unachievable perfection-in-translation.
Just let the movie simply be what it is. Consider both have something meaningful to offer.
This is magical realism, a from-the-heart type of film. Akiva Goldsman's admitted "wink and a nod" to
those who know what it is to have loved and lost and continued on. For as anyone knows who has been there
~ or imagined being there: There's no such thing as feeling you've lost once you have truly, deeply loved.
You carry such abiding love with you every day of your life ~ into eternity if there be one.
Love begins for Beverly Penn and Peter Lake at first sight. Though from separate worlds in upbringing,
their mutual need for something true ~ and amazement at it finally arriving just as all else threatens ~
puts them immediately on equal terms where wonder and desire are concerned. Even as dark forces
conspire to destroy them, they dare to take what joy is there to be had.
Keep in mind, this film is predominantly about Love. Capital L. Love in the highest sense of the word.
Not only the romance that occurs between the two leading characters.
There's more than meets the eye if you look closer.
Nothing is without meaning.
Some films may be read like poetry - the smallest nuance being as vital to the whole
as what's blazing on the surface. This one has "layers" of stories within the story.
Some are obvious: the slips and bends of time, the impact of historic places, crossed destinies,
good versus evil, mystery over certainty, the universal longing for love in a world where death
should not triumph. Other aspects are far more secretive and delicate, better left to
individual interpretation.
Jessica Brown Findlay's lovely, ethereal voice is divinely suited for Beverly's occasional
heavenly narrative. Her beauty at once innocent yet alluring, luminous and naturally elegant
~ perfect for love-at-first-sight.
Colin Farrell is impossibly captivating with unbelievably emotive eyes. His moving portrayal
of Peter Lake's undying love and profound grief is heart-rending and physically palpable.
The two together give the story a believable sincerity and make the movie
infinitely re-watchable and worthy of owning on DVD.
The A-list supporting cast - Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Eva Marie Saint,
William Hurt and the rest, all shine equally as bright.
A person biased against poetry will miss the treasure of the most exquisite poem.
The fault-finding critic will relentlessly find something to pick apart, be it in movie or book.
The particular audience this movie appeals to, the open-hearted viewer, will find
the light and beauty within ~ no matter what anyone else says or doesn't say.
A touching, deeply memorable film.
P.S. Two items critics complained about that might matter to some:
1. The fantasy elements. They are there. These are vital even in the book they also
complained the movie didn't fully do justice to. It does perfect justice by the
essence of the story, not by replicating every detail and character of the novel.
Remember - it's a tale, a parable of sorts, given to metaphor and visual imagery.
2. It used well-known actors in cameo roles. A glimpse and then they are gone. Once again,
this is a tale. As in a dream, some visions and characters don't last as long as you wish
they would. They are there for a singular purpose and then they vanish. Even shorter scenes
are important to the whole. Actors in those roles just as stellar and worthy of appreciation.
Thankfully, true actors know this even when some critics do not.
The character Colin Farrell plays "Peter Lake" appears to be completely overwhelmed by time, circumstance, and a mysterious red-haired woman he’s destined to save, yet not the one he falls hopelessly in love with, but a small child nearly 100 years later when Jennifer Connelly and said red-haired girl appear to just walk into his life as he's furiously drawing a picture of a red-haired woman in on the sidewalks in Manhattan's Central Park. Its unclear whether he time travels or just has a penchant for not aging.
Appearances by Russell Crowe and Will Smith as the forces of evil, which for reasons unknown are perpetually out for Peter Lake and his female counterpart fail to make a lot of sense of their Where Pegasus comes into play in the grand scheme of things makes about as much sense as dropping Tarzan into an Ironman film. Great role by the trained horse, but what "Horse's" connection is to Peter Lake is sort of an enigma, but it an interesting addition to the film, a flying horse that capable of saving Peter Lake from the clutches of the villains cast as black derby wearing thugs that work for Russell Crowe. I would encourage everyone to watch this movie, in particular the romantics like myself who believe that love conquers all and that it is timeless, regardless of a poorly developed film script, an absence of plot or miscast characters and a "winged horse" like Pegasus in mythology.
