![Oppenheimer [DVD]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81aHeuJ0CGL._AC_UL165_SR165,165_.jpg)
Come on. Made in the 90s. Strong story. FIne talent. Kevin and Whitney (if I can't have him, I'd vote for Whitney to take my place and Kevin is hiding all of his feelings on screen and off screen--they should have been married. At that time America's favourite people. Great music. Sexy.
It could have been sexier if the stuck up Americans that we have to share with the romantic and beautiful side. The best about this Special Edition are the personal interviews between the two and how Kevin waited for Whitney to do this movie. He did not want anyone else.
It was interesting that back inn the 70s that Diana Ross and Steve McQueen were originally chosen to act in this film. The thing is, McQueen did not want to do it and I dropped watching McQueen's movies after he was so adamant in NOT playing opposite Diana Ross and the project was cancelled.
Even Anthony Perkins was man enough to play in a poorly directed version opposite Diana Ross. They even allowed him to be obsessed over Ross and "psycho" in this version (Mahogany--of course).
It only needed a better director to pull this off. "Psycho" alone made Perkins an A lister and more popular than Mc Queen. He even Outlived McQueen and produced a remake of" Psycho" in colour. Tell me that Perkins doesn't have the "You-know whats" or not?
I would have liked to watch that version and how they would have played it out. McQueen was a pussy for not acting in this performance. It said a LOT about him in that time. It was the 70s for Pete's sake. So much more little tid bits about the films covered in this special edition.
I wish that they did explore them doing you know what's. Now it's the 90s and America could not allow more. Europe would have been a block buster if they should a little bit more. I could not believe that the pussy cat Warner Brothers who LOVE showing more violence, but not erotic sex? Come on peeps. I would have shown them truly sweating and Kevin howling at the moon (but he probably did this during private practising at his secret hideaway home). He didn't want Michelle Pfifer or Barbra Streisand to play the role as Warner Brothers desired, Kevin said (in many interviews) he wanted Whitney and we know why and in many ways why. Say yes to breaking that colour barrier. I would not have seen this if they placed any one else BUT Houston.
Whitney's gorgeous and I don't care if she had her troubles. She gave us her talent and she should be rewarded for that. It would have been Terrible if "Brandi or some other Gen Y singer played opposite Costner.
These two made it work and the interviews and behind the scenes were very nicely added if you want more.
Great to have in your DVD library.
