“A Farewell to Arms” is a 1957 American drama film directed by Charles Vidor, starring Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones. It is the second feature film adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's 1929 semi-autobiographical novel of the same name.The setting of the story is Italy.
Let's pass on to the plot of the film. Frederick Henry was an American ambulance driver,who joined the Italian army during World War I. He was seriously injured at the front and was sent to the hospital in Milan.He met Catherine Barkley, a Red Cross nurse, there and they fell in love with each other. They spent a lot of time together and later Catherine discovered that she was pregnant. After Henry's recovering,he returned to the front.Henry was caught by the Italian police who accused him of treachery leading to the Italian defeat. Knowing he would be executed, Henry jumped into the river and escaped. He found Catherine and they both escaped to Switzerland in a boat. Henry and Catherine lived a quiet life in the mountains, waiting the birth of their child.However, finally both Catherine and the child die. Frederic walks away alone in the rain alone in the world.
Speaking about the actors,I should say that cast of the film is perfect. Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones were wonderful. Rock Hudson was an ideal man,he volunteered on the Italian front,transmitted his disease and injury,wanted to marry his lover and live with her the whole life.He tried to hold his emotions, but the last scene was deeply touching,he couldn't hide his grieve. Jennifer Jones was so devoted to her man,she sacrificed herself. She was so sincere,so tender. Sometimes she was mad,because she was in love.
Besides, I should say, that director of the film made a good job.I can't but mention the realistic atmosphere of war, hospital. There are a lot of moments of war,showing massive, panoramic tableaux, and a line of soldiers trooping through the mountains.The music,used in the film, is beautiful and pertinent.
Moreover, I can't but underline the episode when the priest stayed with patiences in the hospital. He knew that he would die,but couldn't leave them alone and continue to pray.Such behaviour is worth of admiration.
In conclusion, I'd like to say that I enjoy the movie,especially scenes of love. The moments of war were violent, the colors were gray and such moments were boring and unpleasant. All in all, this film is tragedy,but I prefer movies with happy end.
