Love Field (1992) As far as what we watch in the film, making allowances for Lurene's open mind and understanding about segregation and discrimination, the movie is easy to watch. The film shows how things were in this country in the years where segregation was still enforced in the land. Lurene is kind hearted, but one wonders to what extend would someone in her station in life would have done in a real situation like the director presents in the picture. www.imdb.com /title/tt0104765

Film & TV: Crazy Love (Weekly Alibi . 07-13-98) He allows her to narrate the film with a winking sarcasm (criticizing the audience's film viewing habits, insisting that she is not the kind of bad girl who "grows a heart of gold by the end of the movie" and skipping over the "boring parts" of the story to suit her narrative). On the one hand, independent films allow filmmakers to create their visions in a pure, unadulterated form. The Opposite of Sex is an eccentric and witty rumination on the pains (as opposed to the pleasures) of love and a bold introduction to an innovative new director. weeklywire.com /ww/07-13-98/alibi_film1.html

Filmtracks: Love Field (Jerry Goldsmith) Love Field: (Jerry Goldsmith) Among composer Jerry Goldsmith's more enjoyable, lesser-known scores of the 1990's is for a largely forgotten film about segregation, Love Field. His contribution to Love Field was under thirty minutes, and even at that short length, some of his material was removed from the final version of the film. When you see live piano performances of a piece called "Theme from Love Field" by various artists today, that music represents some of Payne's work for the project. www.filmtracks.com /titles/love_field.html?page=print

Review: Love Field Set at the time of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas, the film dramatizes the growing bond between a poor white woman and an enigmatic black man. As Larene Hallett, a dreamy beautician obsessed with Jackie Kennedy, Pfeiffer confirms her growing range and power. Love Field probably won't prove to be a much happier choice for Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer is further sabotaged by Don Roos's contrived, heavy-handed script, and by Orion's financial troubles, which have kept the film on the shelf for more than a year. movieline.standard8media.com /reviews/lovefield.shtml   (190 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Love Field at Epinions.com When I saw the 1992 film "Love Field" listed on the schedule for the Trio channel a few days ago, I vaguely remembered seeing a preview at the time of its release and expressing an interest in seeing it. "Love Field" is a nicely written story, and I'd recommend you catch it on TV, pay-per-view or at the video store. What follows is a well-written love story involving two ordinary people struggling to make sense of extraordinary times. www.epinions.com /mvie-review-2996-941B88A-38FFDBD0-prod1   (190 words)

:: rogerebert.com :: Love Field "Love Field" depicts the moment of the assassination in a creepy, effective way, by showing the woman driving through the streets of Dallas and realizing that something has gone wrong. Seeing this film for the second time, I was more than ever aware, however, that the essential truth of the characters was being undercut by all the manufactured gimmicks of the plot. And when "Love Field" turns from an odyssey into a chase, it loses its way. rogerebert.suntimes.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19930212/REVIEWS/302120304/1023   (190 words)

The Record - News - 02/14/2005 - Love a field of study at Sage Colleges In another tale, a man's one-sided toxic obsession with the object of his affection warns of the dangers of falling too deeply in love and allowing yourself to believe in the myth that another person, idea or object could be the single thing that fills the void in your heart. "Valentine's Day is big business, it's about candy and the superficial marketing of love," said Soleau. The popular course draws from philosophical, religious, literary, psychological and other sources - including film, art and music - to help students understand the nature and significance of love around the world and within their own relationships. www.troyrecord.com /site/news.cfm?newsid=13952379&BRD=1170&PAG=461&dept_id=7021&rfi=6   (190 words)

Reno News and Review Travel - August 4, 2005 Her travel agent told her that in buying a round trip ticket, because of the Wright Amendment, she would have to land at a distant Texas airport instead of Love Field, which is located inside Dallas. The complicated Love Field regulations discouraged not just travel from Dallas but incoming travel as well, as in Cizauskas's case. Love Field could only be used for passenger service on regular mid-sized and large aircraft to locations within Texas and four nearby states (Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and New Mexico). www.newsreview.com /issues/reno/2005-08-04/travel.asp   (190 words)

LILIES IN THE FIELD + FOR LOVE OF IVY (MGM) - DVDs Crucially, the film's hippie character is a good-for-nothing wretch and the white head of the clan is the only one willing to let go of Ivy, bolstering a traditional power structure that another film would have undermined. By the film's logic, a "noble" black is a totally self-denying one--hardly the last word in racial equality. Both Lilies of the Field and For Love of Ivy are tedious, uncontroversial filmmaking, but they afford an interesting glimpse into the compromised mind of liberal Hollywood when faced with the task of "integrating" its product. www.filmfreakcentral.net /dvdreviews/liliesivy.htm   (190 words)

Love Field: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack The movie itself is more of a love story with the time period and JFK's assassination serving as a mere backdrop to the developing romance between the film's main characters. The film tackles a tough subject, racism in the U.S., using the JFK assasination as a flashpoint. This is one of those scores that works a little better in the actual film than by itself as a CD recording. 909060.onlinesportdiscount.com /3436373937302d312d4230303030303354454b.html   (190 words)

Love, With `Boys on the Side' / Breakthrough women's film As a film about women, ``Boys on the Side'' feels as authentic as ``Thelma and Louise,'' so it comes as a surprise to find that it was written and directed by men. Sometimes the most important breakthrough films are the ones that don't make a fuss, that slide things by in ways most people won't notice. But if I ever had doubts, they've been erased in ``Boys on the Side.'' Her performance is so full, invested and heartfelt that there is never any doubt that Jane is completely in love, and that only her dignity and a middle-aged understanding of the world are keeping her from spilling over. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/1995/02/03/DD57029.DTL&type=printable   (190 words)

SCREEN IT! ARTISTIC REVIEW: LOVE AND BASKETBALL Supporting performances are solid and range from Dennis Haysbert ("Random Hearts," "Love Field") as Quincy's flawed father to Alfre Woodard ("Mumford," "Down in the Delta") as Monica's stay at home mom and include Debbie Morgan (TV's "All My Children") and Harry J. Lennix ("Titus") as their respective spouses. In addition, this is thankfully yet another film that portrays African-American characters as real people instead of falling prey to the "normal" black stereotypes usually found in the dumb, urban sex comedies and/or "gang-banger" films. A well-acted and, for the most part, solidly constructed if not particularly spectacular tale, the film is appropriately presented in four quarters, starting with the dual protagonists' first meeting as competitive youngsters through the beginning of their late high school romance that closes out the first half. www.screenit.com /ourtake/2000/love_and_basketball.html   (190 words)

Unimaginative Love Field never rises above mediocrity Although it is far from being a bad film, it never becomes a truly good one, and it ultimately seems like a movie which has been sitting on a shelf for 10 times longer than it actually has been. In the film, Michelle Pfieffer plays Laurene, a Dallas beautician who is obsessed with the lives of the current president, John Kennedy, and his wife, Jackie. This is a problem that all films which deal with the bigotry of the past deal with. www-tech.mit.edu /V113/N6/love-field.06a.html   (190 words)

Movie Database - [TV Guide Online] Though LOVE FIELD is a more serious film, Pfeiffer's performance demonstrates that she could just have easily played either Thelma or Louise, of which Lurene is a strange melding. The film opens on the day of Kennedy's assassination, when Lurene just misses shaking the first lady's hand at Love Field because she's gone to retrieve a friend's (Peggy Rea) dropped purse. Precisely the kind of oddball-hybrid for which Orion Pictures was once famous, LOVE FIELD was the studio's first release following its declaration of bankruptcy and subsequent restructuring in 1992. online.tvguide.com /movies/database/showmovie.asp?MI=34997   (190 words)

Goldsmith: Love Field A surprisingly good film from director Jonathan Kaplan, Love Field deals with prejudice on several levels as a Texan woman, dismissed as white trailer trash, and a black man travel across America against the backdrop of the Kennedy assassination (she is going to Washington DC to attend the president's funeral). Love Field is not a score for all; it is low-key and subtle music, but ultimately rewarding. Sadly, and inexplicably, many of its finest moments weren't even featured in the film, being dialled out in favour of very similar, but considerably worse, music by another composer, but all of Goldsmith's score for the film (running to only 29 minutes in total) is featured on this disc. www.moviewave.net /titles/love_field.html   (190 words)

FORBIDDEN PASSIONS: DAMAGE, INDOCHINE, LOVE FIELD These scenes were on their way towards earning the film an NC-17, until they were recut slightly for an R. Malle takes a matter-of-fact approach, but the consequence is the Stephen-Anna scenes don't come off as two people in the throes of passion, but of two animals doing what comes naturally. Love stories can be presented to us in all kinds of ways, and have been. Even as Martyn and Anna fall in love and become engaged, with the slight disapproval of Ingrid and the hearty approval of Ingrid's father (Ian Bannen), the two continue their affair, even though Anna insists she won't give up Martyn. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/movies_90s/100008   (190 words)

Love Field - DVD Love Field is about a woman obsessed with Jackie Kennedy and she has to meet her when she and JFK arrive at the Dallas airport. Comment: Call me sentimental, I don't care, but I loved this film. There have been hundreds of films with racism at their heart, PINKY, THE DEFIANT ONES, THE COLOR PURPLE, MISSISSIPPI BURNING, THE SEARCHERS etc, etc but LOVE FIELD is up with the best and this is due mainly to the masterly direction of Mr Kaplan. www.wensstyle.com /product/B000053VB1.html   (190 words)

Review: Love Field Unfortunately, Love Field starts and ends so shakily that the better parts of the film are sandwiched by a mediocrity that they cannot entirely overcome. The issues raised by Love Field are not unique, nor is their presentation new, but they are important and timely. Films such as JFK and Ruby examine the assassination from the inside, presenting theories of how and why things happened as they did. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/l/love_field.html   (190 words)

CNN - Newfound film shows JFK before assassination - Nov. 21, 1996 The film of events during Kennedy's trip to Dallas on November 21 and 22, 1963, was made by his aide, Dave Powers. The film was released by the Assassination Records Review Board, which is mandated by federal law to identify, secure and make available all records related to Kennedy's assassination. Powers, who was riding in a U.S. Secret Service car directly behind the presidential limousine during the Dallas motorcade, ran out of film before the motorcade entered Dealey Plaza, where the deadly shots were fired. www.cnn.com /US/9611/21/kennedy.lost.film   (190 words)

Needcoffee.com In light of the recent information about Coldplay's latest album and their DRM bullshit therein (which I previously nodded at here), Groklaw has posted a lovely look at what would happen if the same restrictions were applied to pizza. In essence, this series is the sort that people will either love or hate, and you really just have to see it for yourself to be sure. Other Thursdays in January will be showing other great films such as Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds, Castle in the Sky, and My Neighbor Totoro. www.needcoffee.com /updates   (1420 words)

Media Life - Letters to the Editor I am Italian and I love the show because I am smart enough to figure out that I am not stupid enough to believe that we are all like that, or would consider a life like that. Nonetheless, indie film producers like Astoria Films have no luck trying to raise money to produce 'Paisan,' a film about the paradox of Italian-American GIs fighting in Italy against Italians while their parents back home (like Joe Dimaggio's fisherman parents in San Francisco) faced internment camps, Draconian restrictions and ruined business. After some 800 Hollywood films and now Sopranos...Italian-Americans have every right to protest this blatant stereotyping that continues on despite the fact that FBI stats show that we commit ONLY two tenths of one percent of crime. www.medialifemagazine.com /features/letters2001.html   (10900 words)

"Enduring Love" After his impressive work on THE MOTHER (another British film that received less than its fair share of attention), Michell again proves himself the master of the emotional screen space, dramatising what is essentially an internal narrative using architectural framing intelligently, and letting the pictures speak for themselves. Claire, in particular, sees something in the man she almost married that she realizes was merely latent before the balloon's appearance: a guy terrified of love and smugly disengaged from emotion, an intellectual male control freak whose fundamental terror of real intimacy has been yanked into daylight by those same ropes. ENDURING LOVE offers an opportunity for heart-stopping filmmaking, a remarkable five minutes of cinematography by Haris Zambarloukos and editing by Nicolas Gaster that is only prelude to the subtle, graceful, even minimalist storytelling to come. www.bluematia.com /enduring_love.htm   (10900 words)

Amazon.com: Books: From Love Field: Our Final Hours with President John F. Kennedy While Lubin (art, Wake Forest Univ.) also makes some interesting comments about the Zapruder film, which he calls "a political thriller," his book offers only cursory comments about the assassination itself. President, you certainly can't say Dallas doesn't love you!" Connally, Texas's first lady, had just said these words to President John Kennedy as they rode in their open black Lincoln when shots rang out on Nov. 22, 1963, killing the president and wounding the author's husband, Texas governor John Connally. This history of the 26-second Zapruder film and its role in the criminal investigation argues forcefully that Kennedy was shot by more than one person, none of whom was Lee Harvey Oswald. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590710142?v=glance   (10900 words)

‘Love Field’ (PG-13) What happens that day in Dallas and in the days following is the subject of Jonathan Kaplan's honorable but lumpy new film, "Love Field." Michelle Pfeiffer plays Lurene, a misunderstood bottle blonde who lives mostly in a world of her own, primarily because she has never found a comfortable place in the real world. And so in November 1963, when the president and Jackie come to her hometown of Dallas, Lurene heads for Love Field to meet their plane, determined to make personal contact with the couple of her dreams. But she doesn't, and soon the dream is gone forever -- for Lurene and the rest of the country as well. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/lovefieldpg13hinson_a0a7e8.htm   (10900 words)
