Crossing the line.

Carried Away is ultimately a cinematic treatise on the dangers of crossing that line no man should ever cross, but a line that so many tiptoe upon either in reality or imagination. Dennis Hopper's character is an aging, bored teacher in a rural farm community. His life is predictable and the only question that still stirs within it is when he exactly intends on marrying his long-time girlfriend (Amy Irving). Things take a sudden change when a new student arrives in town, brining with her a willingness to seduce her teacher, if only to keep herself entertained while living in the new but overwhelmingly drab town. He, although sheepishly at first, falls prey to her advances and within a short period of time, finds his life is complete and total disarray. A solid film, but the gratuitous nudity was a bit forced. May 30, 2008

the SOUND TRACK REVIEW & NOT THE MOVIE REVIEW

This is the most hauntingly melancholy score that you probably ever will listen to..it is achingly beautiful..while it is minimalist in nature it nonetheless is played full orchestra..regret,opportunities lost and missed,love that is both impulsive and deep-seated,these are some of the emotions that are hinted at by Bruce Broughton's score..perhaps his best work,Broughton is usually associated with more robust scoring,such as his western flavored score for the film"Tombstone",about the gunfight at the OK coral..While many scores suffer as stand-alone entities,this score does not...Indeed,I heard this score BEFORE viewing the film for which it was written...And because I heard this score I found myself saying:What kind of film could this be,to have such an emotional score?So try this album out...You won't be disappointed...

Carried Away

Stay with this movie past what might look to you like "sleaze"- a very plain, middle-aged school teacher has an intense sexual relationship with his 17-year-old student--because it gets really good and becomes an examination of what he has with his equally-middle-aged, widowed, schoolteacher long-time love. What happens between them is the core of the movie. The principals are Dennis Hopper and Amy Irving. Dennis Hopper looks really ugly, and, of course, it's impossible for Amy Irving to look anything but lovely (even though they try here). They really make the movie. They're backed up by Hal Holbrook, Bary Busey, Julie Harris, and Priscilla Pointer. It's very well worth your time. October 3, 2005
