Great movie! Feb 10, 2010
Man from Snowy River is one of the best movies ever made. This one was sent to a family member who had never seen it. I know she will love it as much as we do.
One of those Give-it-all-you-got and Throw-caution-to-the-wind kind of stories Dec 01, 2009
THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER has earned its place as a unique and inspiring Western. It was the first Western I ever saw at the cinema (I was about 7 years old at the time), and I saw it at a time in my life when all I was interested in were spaceships and lightsabers.
I recently watched it again for the first time in many, many years. Once again, the mystically poetic music captured my attention as did the beautiful Australian scenery. But also for the first time, I noticed one of the strong core themes of this movie: stay focused on the goal and keep going. That's what the hero, Jim Craig, does all throughout the film. Even in times of hardship, unfairness, and heartbreak, he always keeps his virtue and courage fully intact. My favorite--and probably everyone else's favorite--scene is where he keeps chasing the horses (or "Brumbies") down the steep mountainside even after the older and more experiences horsemen gave up. Given the kind of determination and rigid focus that Jim Craig had, I think he would have ridden down that mountain even if it were on fire!
This is one of many things that make this film great. And once again, I will add that the music is wonderful. "Jessica's Sonata" has now become one of the most recognizable piano pieces, even though many people would not know where it originated from. It's the kind of music that stays with you long after you've seen the movie.
A GREAT OLD WESTERN MOVIE Sep 17, 2009
This was a good movie for all that love the good old days, ranch life and old school romance. I plan on getting, RETURND TO SNOWY RIVER. Can't wait to see what's in store for young couple.
Man From Snowy River DVD May 03, 2009
This was a well told story of a mountain boy's journey to manhood. The plot of the story is not be out-done by the breath-taking views of the Australian mountain regions. The first movie was very well done that I hear a sequel has already been completed. If you want to watch a movie that will take you away from your everyday problems, this one is definitely the one to watch.
A Family Favorite Mar 19, 2009
I just love this movie! So when my VHS copy got ruined, I replaced it with a DVD. The movie is clean...great for all ages. I look forward to watching it with my grandkids someday.
