Description

Madonna and Adriano Giannini star in director/screenwriter Guy Ritchie's contemporary adaptation of Lina Wertmuller's 1974 romantic comedy, "Swept Away," a story of love, sex and too much money - all set against the backdrop of a spectacular Mediterranean island paradise. A rich, spoiled socialite (Madonna) and a handsome Italian fisherman (Giannini) find themselves stranded on a deserted island where matters of material wealth and class disparity are meaningless. And in their struggle to survive and coexist in their paradise found, they soon discover that their dramatic differences are suddenly the source of a fierce, passionate and sometimes hilarious animal attraction.

    I was prepared to not like this film 🎥 After all, Big Media can’t be wrong 😑 right? Well I’m happy to say that they are as flawed desperate and corrupt as two criminals fighting on a seedy city 🌃 street. Madonna starts off as unflattering and unsympathetic but soon warms and melts hearts as the film progresses. It’s a very beautiful 🤩 film that must be seen to be believed. It also has great touches of comedy and features a gorgeous island 🏝 scene featuring Fade Into U by Mazzy Star 🌟 Bravo 👏 Madonna, Guy Ritchie & Company!!!

    I love this movie. It presents the shifting dynamics of the haves and have nots; r/t a shift of power brought on by a shift in atmosphere.

    This is a tough one. As an unabashed Madonna loyalist, I am compelled to hold this film in highest regard and to speak of it with nothing but superlatives of the highest order. Even in the face of overwhelming empirical evidence to the contrary, which would lead any rational person to form a very different opinion. Thus, the very essence of my being is consumed with angst by the conflicting viewpoints struggling within me. But in the end, it is clear which force wields more power. My ultimate verdict? Swept Away is without a doubt the most awe-inspiring cinematic masterpiece mankind has ever been graced to witness.

    Being a long time Madonna fan I may be as biased as the next one, however, when this movie came out I had heard so much negative buzz about it that I was really worried that it was going to be an embarrassment. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I finally saw it, and even if I was not the Madonna fan that I am, I believe I would still enjoy it nonetheless. There are some parts which are better than others, but that's true for any film. I especially love the scene where you can fully see the change in Madonna's character after catching her own octopus. There is very little dialogue but you can tell that her character is about to bust from pride and excitement and Madonna is completely convincing. Other moments which shine are the "Come-On-A-My-House" dream scene and the utterly heartbreaking ending, which I would never change. I think the film is great. Unfortunately, Madonna's acting is always going to be criticized because her audience can't ever seem to get past the fact that they're watching Madonna in a film. My point is: when Renee Zellweger plays Bridgette Jones, you watch and think of her as Bridgette Jones, but if Madonna plays anyone or anything, she remains Madonna and not the character she's trying to portray... and though that may be her fault as much as the viewers, I think it's unfair to rule her out as a bad actress when she's not as bad as the critics make her out to be.
