| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatDeath of a Salesman, directed by Volker Schlondorff, draws out the multiple meanings of this Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Arthur Miller about change, family and fatherhood, work and love. |
| User Revieweddie sOMFG, I'm 36 and this was my first time watching this. So many parallels, my own father is basically Willy. It hit me hard when Biff broke down in his father's arms and said "I'm not a leader of men" I can relate to so much of this movie. |
| User ReviewAmit DIf it's your time, best to have this crisis in mid-life, if you are lucky - not at 63. For me, Kate Reid ("Linda") is the star of the movie, not Hoffman or Malkovich |
| User ReviewMichael CI first met Willy Loman my freshman year in college in an American Literature class. I found it intense then, but now, 35 years and three children later, I find it more intense and even a little disturbing. I understand Willy's character in a whole new way now, though I must concede I've been much more fortunate than Willy. Dustin Hoffman is always a magical actor, bringing just the right touch to every role I've seen him play, and they have been many and varied throughout the years. |
| User ReviewRay JLoved it! Hoffman was truly amazing in this role. |
| User ReviewJingbo Wdustin hoffman is amazing. this is super good and SUPER depressing. |
| User ReviewAna BNunca và la obra de teatro,nunca và otra versión en cine,sólo pudo decir que este viajante maravilloso interpretado por el señor Hoffman me cautivó por completo...adoro esta historia y este film y los compañeros de reparto están geniales. |
| User ReviewNicholas GThis is a faithfully executed, well-acted rendtition of Arthur Miller's classic. |
| User ReviewVictor CA powerful adaptation of the famous Arthur Miller play. Hoffman won an Emmy for his stirring portrayal of Willy Loman, the aging salesman who realizes he's past his prime and tries to come to grips with the life he's wasted and the family he's neglected. Reid also turns in a fine performance as his long-suffering wife. John Malkovich and Stephan Lang also star as the Willy's sons who have bought into his version of the American Dream. a very moving adaptation. |
| User ReviewJepa PWhat a creepy, horrible and realistic movie of a family and it's shared dream. Some family systems really are terrible. |
