Vonnegut Told Well In 'Mother Night'

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: In the days of turning books into movies, some go unnoticed, and they are often the ones most deserving of praise.
Review:
There are two main things to know about the movie 'Mother Night', and just about every review I've been able to find of the movie mentions them enthusiastically (though they don't always give the movie high marks overall). The first is that the...

Keith Gordon's Mother Night: Losing Your Identity For Your Country~

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you like this movie, check out Slaughterhouse-Five and the documentaries The Ground Truth and Sir! No Sir! 4.5 stars.
Review: I ve now watched two Kurt Vonnegut Jr. novels made into movies, that of Slaughterhouse-Five and Mother Night, and the latter one may just be a better transfer. Vonnegut is well-known for his forays into clever satire, which makes for a cinematic...

The Great Pretender: An Evaluation of Mother Night

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: Mother Night is a movie that will teach one lessons about life, and one should watch it when the proper maturity level is reached by the viewer.
Review: The movie Mother Night, produced and directed by Keith Gordon, tells an amazing story of a man, Howard W. Campbell, Jr., who was a playwright and a spy for the Americans in Germany in the 1930s and 40s. This film explores the many different aspects...

Mother Night according to me

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Just watch it!
Review: A stark, gray prison comes into view as Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" plays in the background. This is the first scene in the movie Mother Night, based on the book of the same title by Kurt Vonnegut. As we meet Howard Campbell, he is being...

Mother Night

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: It was a great movie and had a creative artistic viewpoint.
Review: Many movies made from books are heartfelt, sappy, and conclude with happy endings. Mother Night, written by Kurt Vonnegut, was made into a movie directed by Keith Gordon, who broke away from these standards and provided a more faithful artistic...

Mother Night Movie Review

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2002
The Bottom Line: This movie should be viewed by all who likes raw, dramatic movies that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Review: Mother Night is a 1996 film, directed by Keith Gordon, based on the novel of the same name by Kurt Vonnegut. Considered by the New York Times a true artist and praised as one of the best living American writers by Graham Greene, Vonnegut received a...

Thoughtprovoking and not for the average moviegoer

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: Mother Night is a thought-provoking movie but not entertaining for mass audiences. Vonnegut?s story is for the academic, not most moviegoers.
Review: Kurt Vonnegut has written many science-fiction novels and novels depicting the abominations of war, such as Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat s Cradle. Mother Night, a recent World War II movie, is based on Vonnegut s book of the same name. The film...

Have a great Night

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2000
Review: As a critic, I try to do justice to a film. If the film is bad, this is incredibly easy. It is much easier to destroy than to create, to rip than to extol. As I have often mentioned, it is the good reviews that are difficult to write. I have a...

The Things We Pretend

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2002
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes Kurt Vonnegut, thought-provoking movies, or the Holocaust. This movie presents a different side of the typical Holocaust film.
Review: Bing Crosby s White Christmas drifts lazily in the background. Black and white color the screen, with shades of gray. A man is being led through a prison camp. As the chorus of Crosby s song play, the camera pans to the Israeli flag. Opening irony...

"You must be careful about what you pretend to be,

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: This movie asks you to think about the consequences of your actions, and how much responsibility you have for the results.
Review: because in the end you are what you pretend to be.?

Last weekend I rented and watched a very intriguing movie adapted from a Kurt Vonnegut novel and staring Nick Nolte. The movie was ?Mother Night?. I have absolutely no idea what that...
