Though I have not watched all of this movie yet, I can tell right away the classic nature and the interesting plot development that lies ahead. I cannot say words that bring justice to this piece, and only say: If you're really interested, watch it yourself and decide!

Full review to come.

I like this movie a lot, it is exciting and so interesting. Psychologically is a good movie for observing the defense mechanisms. I could appreciate how bad is denying some past events of our lives.

I'm a little late, but I just finished watching Prince of Tides, not to be confused with The Fisher King, for the first time yesterday. I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. For a film directed by and starring outrageously liberal Barbra Streisand, you'd think the whole film would be about abortions and homosexuality! Well, homosexuality does play a factor so I guess I'm not that surprised, but even with a Bush in the White House at the time it was made, every other sentence wasn't about a war for oil! Could it be true, were liberals at one time actually able to separate their ideology from their art?!

In this film, Tom and his 2 siblings grew up on an island in the South where their father owned a shrimping business. He was abusive and temperamental, and the mother was lying and manipulative, so in short they were your average family. His sister, Savanna grew up to be a suicidal poet, think Sylvia Plath, and his bro tried to stage a one-man coup and didn't succeed, think Al Gore. After Savannah's most recent attempt to knock herself off, Tom is summoned by her psychiatrist Dr. Lowenstein. In order to help her cure his sister, he has to delve into the family's past and reveal some troubling family secrets.

George Carlin was given the opportunity to play himself for once in the role of Savannah's flaming neighbor. I'm pleased he came out of the closet and became honest with himself about his sexuality, if even for this one role.

Dr. Lowenstein is played by Babs Streisand and I have to admit when she's acting like a lady and not screaming about George Bush she's actually...cute?...feminine? I actually found myself rooting for Tom when he was trying to make his moves on her.

What I don't understand is how Tom revealing every embarrassing detail about his family is crucial to Savannah's recovery: she spends the whole film in a coma! Only near the end does she snap out of it, she must have sensed Tom's spilling the beans about their "dark secret" and awoke like Lady Lazarus. As the story of their childhood unfolds, Tom and Lowenstein start to fall in love with each other, and since they have such an awful marriage they decide to take a crack at an affair, but this happens much later. Certain subplots include Tom coaching Lowenstein's son in football and Tom visits his parents(now separated).

I think the ending drug a little to be honest, but not too bad. It just seems like Tom should have revealed the deep dark family secret closer to the end, instead it's like we got a premature climax here and afterwards Tom and Babs romp in a field for half an hour. The ending also could have packed a little more punch, like at the train station when Tom says "I got something for you!" and pulls a football out of his Macy's bag, it would have been so much more extreme if he'd pulled out an assault rifle and opened fire on the crowd, then firing his gun in the air ala Rambo while screaming "LOWENSTEIN! LOWENSTEIN!" Now that would have been a truly epic ending.

Great acting with a script that is half-effort and very negative viewpoints with no positive conclusions. I had to stop watching this film I hated it so much.
