5.0 out of 5 stars
Poignant scientific and emotional genius,
By
This review is from: Powder [DVD] [1997] (DVD)
This film is absolutely beautiful. It's highly intelligent, and hugely emotional. The story centres around Powder, a 17 year old boy with alabaster skin, red eyes and childlike innocence. He's also human electrolysis and evolved way beyond our comprehension.
The film is filled with angry people who vent their self-loathing and psychological malaise on Powder - but these people only serve to highlight the warmth and loveliness of three adults who take Powder under their wings, primarily Jeff Goldblum, who is a revelation. An air of tragedy follows Powder around like a shadow, and Mary Steenburgen's character says it best with: "I don't know if there's a place in this world for someone as beautiful as you..." There are scenes in Powder that will make you desperately sad, and you may question your own reactions to people, but it's an incredible film. In terms of emotional impact, and general plot-line (in a very round about sort of way), it's vaguely similar to The Green Mile. The final scene is so powerful, it straddles the line between uplifting and heart-breaking and it's hard to know which way to fall. How much you get from this film really depends on how comfortable you are with psychological and emotional depth, but there's no denying its power and ability to provoke introspection and thought.

A brilliant and powerful masterpiece of cinematography,
By denzilk2001@btinernet.com (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Powder [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie takes the viewer on a roller-coaster of emotions from the barely believable to the totally acceptable. The star performances are held up by a wonderful newcomer in the title role and equalled only by the powerful film score of Jerry Goldsmith. This is a must see movie for any persom who has ever spent any amount of time being different from those around him/her.

A truely beautiful and thought provoking film,
By A Customer
This review is from: Powder [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This film really makes you think hard about yourself and then how humans have become. Everyone should be made to watch this amazing film to realise that although we're advancing fast maybe we're losing the really important part of ourselves that makes us human. Powder lifts you in a sad way -watch it to see what I mean. Once watched , never forgotten!!
