  Ordinary People (1980) - A Review by David Nusair   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Ordinary People, like the recent In the Bedroom, deals primarily with the breakdown of a common American family.
Though Redford's direction is remarkably self-assured and the script is chock full of familiar truths, it's the performances that make Ordinary People as compelling as it is. Hutton, in particular, is quite good as the conflicted and tortured teenager while Hirsch is equally effective as the psychiatrist who draws him out of his shell.
Ordinary People should be considered a slice of life story; a few weeks in the lives of this common family.

 Ordinary people have to extraordinary work to improve schools
Teachers, in other words, like people in other professions, become teachers for "right" and "wrong" reasons, and for reasons that are neither right nor wrong.
If teachers are ordinary people, and if that means that there are internal, human factors we have to take into account to determine how to spur their professional development, what other barriers must we recognize?
Last year, I was with a group of people visiting an Atlanta middle school, and during a conversation with a very good math teacher, a veteran of 23 years, we learned that she had never been to a national conference.

 Ordinary People Movie Rewind «
Ordinary People is a movie about appearances and feelings, and does much more in the process.
These really are no Ordinary People, but the movie seems to be about how so they really want to be, although the message is, there is no such thing as Ordinary and life gives you plenty of twists and suprises to deal with.
Ordinary People was based on the novel by Judith Guest.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Ordinary People   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Ordinary People is a careful depiction of an upper-middle-class suburban family torn apart by dysfunction and tragedy, no doubt a precursor to the generously lauded — yet cartoony and sensationalistic — American Beauty.
If Ordinary People was cast today, there's no doubt that Judd Hirsch's straight-faced performance as Hutton's psychiatrist Dr. Bennet would be supplanted by a smiling-but-teary-eyed Robin Williams, replacing Hirsch's oak-solid mix of reason and compassion with a geyser of sentimental sap, as he did for his Oscar-winning turn in Good Will Hunting.
The skills on display in Ordinary People are full of promise, with Redford displaying the confident and quiet style he would use to great, refreshing effect in his subsequent films as a director.

 Ordinary People (1980)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
I saw Ordinary People when I was very young and had a very difficult time with the storyline.However, even then I think I knew I was watching something simply remarkable.
I can't imagine viewing this movie without feeling absolutely drained afterwards and I think I may have been a bit to young to fully appreciate it, but I can't imagine giving this anything but a 10, it was absolutely flawless in it's storytelling.
I still know people who cannot sit through this and I understand why but I hope this movie will be viewed by many who can handle it, it's impact is fierce, all the performances are incredible and Mary Tyler Moore's performance is among the best of any female lead ever.

It is, they say, a critique of people who rely on the reputation of the elite schools they attended and not their own merit.
But their lust for adventure made them freaks in the eyes of some students who hid behind conformity and elitism, according to the authors.

 The Flick Filosopher | Ordinary People
Ordinary People, Robert Redford's directorial debut, is a talky drama about people who can't talk to one another.
Characters like Beth have become clichéd in the almost twenty years since Ordinary People, but Moore did it first and best with an understated performance that defines her character by all the things she isn't -- affectionate, warm, "motherly." Also notable is the natural, emotional performance from Hutton.
Exploring in an excruciatingly frank way the one emotion we'd probably all like to avoid -- grief -- Ordinary People is an uncomfortable film, one that leaves you aching for its characters.

 Ordinary People (1980)
The seat of the film is the Jarretts, an upper-middle-class family inhabiting an over-large house with drive, and within that the second-son Conrad (Timothy Hutton).
Without wishing to reveal too much, for Ordinary People takes its time doing just this, it's safe to say that Conrad is disturbed.
His technical acuity positively ensures that Ordinary People traces a great arc of change, that its constructed mood is never shattered by carelessness.
