Rating:  - Babs is a great actress
These scenes are so well written - credit to the genius of arthur laurents - that any one of them could be taken out of context and make a great scene for an acting student.
The movie is shot beautifully and the score is a classic. (If a little repetitive at times)
The main reason to see this movie is for the great acting of Streisand and Redford. They are incredible.
Barbara has so many great moments in this - probably the "phone scene" is her best but so hard to choose. She is just great in this movie.
Redford is perfect - saying much more when he is silent than any actor does with dialogue.
The ending scene is a classic of american cinema - so sad and perfect. The most classic goodbye scene since CASABLANCA.
The documentary on this DVD is awesome. The interviews with Barbra, Pollack, the Bergmans, Hamlisch are great. The only disapointment is no Redford. The deleted scenes in this documentary are great and worth seeing.
I highly recommend this DVD.
Rating:  - Amazing acting- though a bit of a shaky plot!
I have seen aq lot of Barbra Streisand"s movies, and I can clearly say, this is one of the most touching. I can't believe she didn't win an oscar on this one because no scene has ever touched me as much as the tewlephone scene in this movie. The chemistry between her and Robert Redford is electrifying, and their acting and the music are both flawlewss.
However, this movie gets four stars for three reasons:
1. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE WRITERS CONCENTRATED MORE ON THE DIALOGUE AND CHARACTERS RATHER THAN THE ACTUAL PLOT. I MEAN, WE DON'T SEE THAT THEY GET MARRIED UNTIL SHE TELLS HIM,. IT DOES GET A LITTLE AWKWARD IN THE MIDDLE
2. IF YOU DO WATCH THE GREAT DOCUMENTARY YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE TWO SCENES WERE EDITTED OUT. ONE OF THOSE HAS KATIE DRIVE BY A SCHOOL AND SEE A GIRL LIKE SHE USED TO BE. IF THAT SCENE HAD NOT BEEN CUT OUT, IT WOULD HAVE MADE MUCH MORE SENSE, AND THE MOVIE WOULD HAVE GONE SMOOTHER
3. THE POLITICAL PART OF THE PLOT IS VERY VAGUE, I PERSONALLY COULD NOT FOLLOW IT AT ALL. IF THEY HAD JUST PUT IN ONE OR TWO MORE SCENES EXPLAINING WHY KATIE WAS THE WAY SHE WAS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CLEARER AND SMOOTHER.
In general, an almost perfect movie, with a few small flaws that although a bit important do not mask the great movie that is The Way We Were
Rating: - Brilliant film
It was a brilliant film I couldnt stop watching it I think
Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford are wonderful I am a very big star of Babra Streisand and all my friends make fun of that but I don't care.
My favourite part in the film is when Hubbel finaly realises he really likes Katy.
And when Katy and Hubbel say goodbye for the last time at the end it made me feel like crying.
Rating: - Very truly a classic movie
Barbara Streisand is sweet and naughtily impulsive. Robert Redford is at his charming best. The story is simple, but full of frivolous love and events. The ending is very touching. This was, is and will always be one of my all time favourite movies. Even the music is amazing. The DVD is so clear it does not look like a movie from 1973, it is a very good transfer. I would surely recommend the purchase of this very wonderful DVD. Thank you.
Rating: - The Way We Were-right!
I was there. It was the late 1960's and it was the best time to fall in love. Many of the scene's, especially the ones on campus, Schenectady's Union College bring back the best memories.
This movie is great and made these two wonderful stars even more
wonderful. I wish they could do a movie where they are rejoined
in this same format.
Watch it often, you will get a sense of real love and devotion from them to you.
