kaykim333 resent is most important. I agree with him 100%, but as everyone knows well, to know is different from to do. However I really want to enjoy my real life and share happiness with others. When I watched this movie, I was so happy and able to enjoy the present while I was watching it.Some people don't like romantic movies, they said the situations are ridiculous and acting is so exaggerated, but this movie is my cup of tea. I like a warm-hearted and make believe story about the power of love because in the real world there are a lot of sad things and scary news. I don't want to listen to these things any more. Even though movies are not real, I hope to feel the beauty of the nature and persons.This movie is about love story. Ex-football star Mike Gambril (Warren Beatty) meets Terry McKay (Annette Bening) on a flight, and then they are forced to land because of a weather condition. Both are engaged to others, but they fall in love each other. They promise that they will meet again in New York few months later. I don't want to spoil this movie, so you should watch this if you want to know the ending.This movie's setting is a beautiful island and New York. When they went to Mike's Aunt's house, the setting is very beautiful and refined. Even though it's just picture, I could feel that I am there. I can feel the wind and heavy rain in this movie. I can see the camera director's effort to take a photograph of the beauty of the nature.Especially I like the music and scenery most. This film's music is so beautiful and wonderful, for example "Love Affair Piano Solo" by Ennio Morricone, "I Will" by Beatles, "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" by Ray Charles. Even if you missed a chance to see this movie I strongly recommend to listen to this film's music . Most of all in the last scene while Mike is saying "If anything had to happen to one of us, why did it have to be you?", 'Love Affair Piano Solo' makes this scene the most beautiful and graceful. During watching this movie, actually I'm interested in the movie music and their dialogues. The lines from this movies are very simple, and poetic. The most famous line is "I like watching you move".In addition Terry's styling is the best!! I can't take away my eyes from her styling from the beginning to the end of this movie. Her white long dress and her beautiful scarf make this movie one of the great art pictures.One of the impressive things is that Warren Beatty and Annette Bening fell in love during a making this movie. Their feeling in this movie is not acting, but it's close to reality. I think this is the big reason why this movie could be so romantic.If you enjoy watching a romantic story, please watch this movie with a glass of wine on Friday night! It is the best choice for you.

Haynoosh Whenever I want to watch a film in which Warren Beatty's name appears,I know that there must be a damn good reason that has made him contribute to this film.He doesn't have that many films,and there is hardly a film of his that doesn't have a strong statement to make.When I sat down to watch "Love Affair",I didn't know that it was a re-make of the 1939's "Love Affair" and 1957's "An Affair to Remember".I was so marveled with the boyish charm of Warren Beatty when he was trying to hook up the main female character of the film,his real life wife,Annette Bening as Terry McKay,and it was after Mike(Warren's character)and Terry's visit to his aunt,superbly portrayed by Katharine Hepburn,that I noticed the similarities.By the sheer appearance of Hepburn as Mike's aunt on the scene,even before she had noticed the arrival of her nephew,when she was chatting with the docks,she established her presence so rapidly and strongly that made me forget about the other characters.However strong was Hepburn's performance,how much it overshadowed the performance of Beatty and Bening,it was justified.One could sense their admiration towards her, not only as the characters of the film,but as co-workers as well.And that's exactly what gives truthfulness to the point of documentary,to this scene.When Beatty was listening and watching the two women perform the song ,it was obvious that it was not just Mike looking at his aunt,but also Warren Beatty,stoned in awe of the sensitivity and artistry of a Legend.The same goes for Annette Benning.In her conversations with the aunt, and while she was accompanying her by humming,while she was playing the piano,it was again Annette Bening dazzled by her aura.At that point, both us,the viewers,and Beatty and Bening became one,we all were viewers.They were all swans,both the couple dressed in white and in total peace and harmony with themselves and the nature,and the old and wise aunt,Katharine Hepburn,making her unforgettable performance as her swan song.If there is a reason for this film to exist, is that scene.The scenes following their arrival in New York do not have the saying and drive of the first half of the film.Even the scene with Ray Charles which is the living proof of the victory of love and dedication over any misfortune,is not able to prevent the spectator from feeling sorry for the lovers,instead of celebrating their re-union.The scene with the aunt was so honest, so profound,that I was expecting something new,something breathtaking as that scene itself.And I kept telling to myself that this is a Warren Beatty film,it is eventually going to take another turn, unravel another aspect of the story,it isn't going to end like that.But to my surprise it did.The "Love Affair" which began in the sky ended on a not strong enough land.But it made us the witnesses of one of cinema's most cherishable moments,the getting together of the guru and her apostles.

cjg9-1 I have watched Love Story numerous times, and every time it touches my heart. This is my favorite movie of all time! Annette Benning and Warren Beatty are outstanding. Katherine Hepburn adds a touch of whimsy to the story. It is just a delightful movie and warms my heart. I always wonder if this movie was made during the beginning of their (Annette and Warren's)love story. I was amazed to see that this movie was listed as not successful on the movie charts. I couldn't believe that since it is such a warm, delightful, moving story. It has been on television both yesterday and today and I found myself watching it both days. I couldn't stay away from this wonderful movie and the charming work of both these really fine actors.

lacarmencita Indeed people should generally not wait for the same thing if it comes, say, from Hollywood or Europe. In the case of "Love Affair" people should watch opera rather than this genre -- I highly recommend "Carmen" with Julia Miguenes-Johnson and Placido Domingo (1984) -- the epitome of a love affair as immortal as always! Titles chosen by the movie industry have -- alas! -- transcended good taste, and with it, semantic borders: maybe simply by following the pattern of our modern lives where the element of surprise has been discarded and replaced by circadian and pecuniary worries. Comparing Cary Grant to Warren Beatty (in terms of this being a remake) is like putting Berlioz next to Madonna!
