ProduktrezensionenRestoration (DVD, 1999)

Truly a Restoration of the leading man and his immediate world seamlessly done.

Great casting and a true historical background of the plague and the London fire all well documented by Samuel Pips (Pyps) diary at the time. Nothing like a great fiction and history sandwich for a real treat of a movie.

Having been a movie fan since 6 and a fair critic ever since I could spend 2500 words on this film and it's characters. Enjoy it!Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Great period movie and Doctor's (Downey) med insight A+

Not only is the history interesting, but the very archaic medical practices were leading into a opening in the first real understanding of human needs.. hope! Where "madness" of that era was labeled upon people who actually many were just suffering the depression or despair of their life's situations which had happened to them to take away that joy of life..interesting theory for the time. Would do much good to have insensitive doctors realize that in these days rather than killing people with so many antidepressants (which are actually sometimes needed, but do also make matters worse than JUST understanding). Robert Downey Jr. did a fantastic acting job in showing his, close to real foolish side, and almost lost the talent he was born with.. so close to his life as it were. Thankfully he now, as in the movie, came to himself and I think anyone who misses this movie and the deep thoughts in it has given up a good watch.Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Restoration DVD

This is the first time I have been asked to write a review, so here we go! I am a big fan of historical fiction, particularly 17th century English history. I recalled seeing this movie many years ago and after seeing The Libertine, my memory was refreshed that this was the same period of time. Of course, finding older DVDs in the marketplace is difficult so I came to eBay for my purchase.
Well crafted story about a young doctor who is brought to the court of King Charles II during the restoration period in England. After a period of time in the favor of King Charles II, he falls out of grace and the story is primarily the one of his way back, so to speak, to Restoration. Cast is great, particularly Robert Downey, Jr. Opulent set decoration, good story although it slows down a bit in the middle. I highly recommend this DVD to those who enjoy period pieces!Vollständige Rezension lesen...

Restoration

A stunningly beautiful costumed movie about the restoration of King Charles 11 to his English throne and a young Doctor who gets caught up in the decadence of the age. Sam Neil (Jurassic Park) plays King Charles perfectly always surrounded with beautiful women and his 18 beloved Spaniels. Robert Downey jr is the Doctor with very advanced views on medicine which he uses during the great plague in London. A joy to watch as a King teaches a young Doctor what is most important in lifeVollständige Rezension lesen...

A real classic

This is the best flicker show that either Robert Downey or Meg Ryan were ever in. Very, very good movie and there ain't many that are these days.

Awesome Movie!

I've always loved this movie because it is about one man's journey through life, and how he not only loses his self, but also restores his position in the world. It's an inspiring story with an awesome cast, beautiful score, and visually stunning costumes/sets.Vollständige Rezension lesen...
