Advantages: Great dialogue, cinematography and acting Disadvantages: Can be too quaint to be taken seriously by modern audiences.
...is equally valid really, but Brief Encounter’s method just feels more sophisticated and respectful to the audience, somehow, although in reality it’s hugely manipulative.
The narrative also runs in a massively interesting fashion. We don’t understand exactly what’s happening between this curiously intense couple on the opening scene, and that’s because we’ve arrive halfway through. All the smouldering glances and clipped lines are gradually explained ... ...she’s an adulterous tramp.
Brief Encounter, for all its occasional quaintness, is a deeply engaging character study as well as a doomed romance.

Advantages: A masterpiece of a Mini-Series Disadvantages: Nearly 10 hours long and thats without the DVD extras
Shaka Zulu is an epic tale of an unwanted son. Who took a minor South African tribe and forged them into a vast empire, through military conquest and fear.

Advantages: Orson Wells, Great Music, Great Story Disadvantages: it ends!
I had heard about the music, the zither music, and was really skeptical that this would work. It does, and it's amazing. It sets, keeps, and moves along the mood of the movie perfectly and is definitely an enhancement to the movie. In fact, the movie is worth watching just to see and hear how the music coordinates with the action. Orson Wells makes a powerful and compelling performance. Actually, everybody in the movie is interesting and turns in ... ...don't want to give away the plot, but be prepared for deep and intense betrayal. Sometimes finding out the truth doesn't set anybody free...
The imagery in the movie, the light and shadows, are done beautifully. Everything works together to keep you glued to it to see what will happen next and how everybody will react to what will happen next. Even if you know the plot, watching how all the characters react and interact is a treat. I'm trying to ...
