Had to admit that before watching it I was a bit skeptical, I thought it would be just one of those boring hyper-romantic films but Finally when I got the chance to watch it I was breathtaken! This film is simply a masterpiece of a time that, unfortunately, is long gone. A time where love could last a lifetime and still be beautiful at the end of life.
How many of those films are made today in this hasty divorce filled time? Not many I'd say! It was such a beautiful experience to watch this film and in a strange way it made me also sad. Mainly because today's world isn't like that anymore for how many people can stay in love and care for eachother after 50 years?
The theme of everlasting love, knowing eachothers habits through a whole life is really something very very special. The roles as the elderly couple were also played with such an honesty that it was amazing and the music plus the landscape and the actual calmness of the film makes it into a film that won't ever be forgotten; at least it shouldn't be!
Jan 28, Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn's farewell to the screen that provided so many wonderful memories is a jewel. A story of bonding through previous coldness. It is magnificent. John B Super Reviewer. Oct 08, An aging couple cares for their estranged daughter's stepson. This is probably the nicest, sweetest, most wholesome film about death ever.
The primary conflict, Norman's fear of death and his unfinished business, is treated with such a light-heartedness that the film takes on a dreamy pastoral quality. By itself, the film could be charming, able to deliver insight about going into the night with a smirk rather than a frown, but the film's conflict is complicated with the entrance of Norman's daughter.
I understand that the conflict between Henry and Jane Fonda informs the film's contemporary interpretation, but as it plays today, there needs to be more setup than Chelsea's weeping into her mother's arms about Norman's placidity. The film's highlights are the performances. Even Jane Fonda is exceptional, and Katharine Hepburn plays the ideal, strong-willed grandmother, a woman all of us should want guiding our lives.
Henry Fonda's Oscar win was deserved. Overall, it's hard to imagine so many ducks and landscape shots in a film about the inevitability of death, but at times, not often, On Golden Pond pulls it off. Jim H Super Reviewer. Jun 15, The main reason to watch it is because Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn are both quite amazing in their portrayal of an aging couple. Both are so strong and perceptive and there's such an undeniable chemistry between them.
