	Review: The Bridges of Madison County
		The Bridges of Madison County is a beautiful film, not only in the way it was photographed, but for the manner through which the characters are revealed to us.
		Besides The Bridges of Madison County, the only other one (thus far) this year is Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise.
		In The Bridges of Madison County, we know the conclusion before we learn the beginning (the story is presented through flashbacks), and this lends an air of poignancy to the proceedings.

		Clint Eastwood's "The Bridges of Madison County" is not about love and not about sex, but about an idea.
		The two of them construct their performances not out of grand gestures, but out of countless subtle little moments of growing love; a time comes when they are solemn in the presence of the joy that has come to them.
		"The Bridges of Madison County" is about two people who find the promise of perfect personal happiness, and understand, with sadness and acceptance, that the most important things in life are not always about making yourself happy.

	The Bridges of Madison County
		It is just that The Bridges Of Madison County is primarily a film that is aimed at the psyche of women and which would strike a chord in the minds, hopes and dreams of repressed women all over the world.
		Kincaid asks directions to a local bridge and, as Francesca's husband and children are away at the Wisconsin State Fair, she offers to show him the way personally.
		The pace of The Bridges Of Madison County is extremely slow, and one almost wishes that Eastwood would give it an injection of pace to speed things along, because at times the story moves along at such a languid crawl it is enough to provoke yawns.

	The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
		As the axis of The Bridges of Madison County Francesca, and the credibility of her emotional turmoil, is of critical importance.
		It is her story that is shocking Michael and Caroline, it is her life that is forever altered by a chance encounter and it is her foresight that forever consigns their hidden love to a locket.
		As long as you surrender to the emotion, both films bring a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye - the tragedy of unobtainable love is familiar to all.

	THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY
		In "Bridges", Francesca has forgotten what it was to be alive and appreciated for herself and not just the role she plays in her family's lives.
		Eastwood is warm and funny as the wandering photographer sent to rural Iowa to take pictures of covered bridges who finds more than he ever could have imagined among the cornfields of America.
		The best parts of the film are the conversations they have over dinner, where they reveal themselves slowly with trepidation and shyness, both knowing that once they start there is no turning back.
