Editorial Reviews

The brief, illicit love affair between an Iowa housewife and a post-middle-age free-lance photographer is chronicled in this powerful romance based on the best-selling novella by Robert James Waller. The story begins as globetrotting National Geographic photographer Robert Kincaid journeys to Madison County in 1965 to film its lovely covered bridges. Upon his arrival, he stops by an old farmhouse to ask directions. There he encounters housewife, Francesca Johnson, whose spouse and two children are out of town. Thus begins their four-day affair, a liaison that fundamentally changes them both. Later Francesca chronicles the affair in a diary which her flabbergasted grown children read; never would they have expected their mother to be capable of the passion she experienced with Kincaid.

March 30, 2009: "Bridges..." is one of my favorite movies, but I have to remember it will make me cry. The acting is spot on, never giving away that Clint Eastwood and Meryl Street are actors instead of the actual individuals living this short, exquisite time together, while the photographer is on assignment. The story line succeeds at making your heart bleed along with the main characters as they long for each other but can't succumb to their mutual wants for a shared lifetime. In just a few days, they become completely enraptured with one another and a strong bond develops rapidly. Reality, though, pulls them apart and they realize their lives must go on as before. This movie is a wonderful example of how reality must be the winner if one has integrity. It is highly recommended, but do have a box of Kleenex nearby!

December 30, 2005: I believe this movie should invite everyone, but particularly women, to explore Martyrdom that is inbedded in the social contructs of the patriarchal system. Given that we are all heart broken from this story, one should only conclude that we should not make sacrifices of this magnitude. Streeps character lived in a time when it was more depressive on women. But we should all be moved by the power of thier love and say, no man, husband, nor child, should want to chain someone to them for thier own selfish reasons, concealed in the notion of resposibilities. One should not be soley responsible for a spouse if one no longer loves them. Who would want that? I sure would not want someone to stay with me if they loved another. And certainly, financial and parental responsibilities can be met independently of a seperation. The movie was powerful in underscoring how pathetic and surpresive womans lives were and continue to be even today. I would hope that the viewers learn not to make the sacrifices that Streep made. It was tradgic to the end.
