Could have been more interesting.......2007-05-09

I'm a fan of what Anthony Robbins does - trying to teach people to better themselves. If we had learned this stuff at school we would all be much happier as adults. This doco is low format, made for TV and could have been much more insightful with decent journalism. The thing I remember most is Anthony's Mum's BIG Hair:)

Excellent for a Documentary.......2007-04-11

I loved this DVD. A&E chronicles Tony Robbins rise to the top from childhood to high school and to a few years ago. You will see the secret of his success if you pay attention. The serious student of Tony Robbins will love this DVD. This is only a 45 minute DVD, it can't cover absolutely everything.

I couldnt believe the guy from Success Magazine who called Tony's seminar Nazi like or something to that effect.

I hate to be harsh but............2007-03-24

His dvd is not what i expected, It was far from it actually.
It is not about the secret of his succes, although it does have some insights into where he has come from and why he has done what he has.
I would only recommend you buy this dvd i'd you are a serious Tony Robbins fan, or if you are doing a project on this man otherwise I would say save my money for his books and cd's because there is more of a valueable insight in them than there is this dvd.

Inspiring!.......2006-03-05

This is the only source of biographical information about Tony Robbins that I have ever seen, and it chronicles the remarkable rise of a remarkable person. I have played this DVD over and over, just for the motivation!

A Secret Delight No Longer.......2007-01-10

A beautifully wrought story of love and acceptance across many of the lines that divide society. I felt uplifted by the warm hearted nature of this film which simultaneously completely avoids sappy sentimentality. The film is full of surprises and it builds to the final scene so subtly that I have now watched it four times, each time seeing more of what the director layered into the film that brought me to the scene on the terrace. This is well worth purchasing and it also shows the growth of the director over his earlier efforts.

Our Families Are the People Who Love Us.......2006-12-31

Antonia is a physician married to Massimo in what she thinks is a good marriage. When he is suddenly killed, she discovers quite by accident that he has had a male lover for seven years-- well, initially she assumes that the lover is female. She sets out to solve the mystery of her husband's betrayal and discovers his other nontraditional family consisting of Michele and an assorted group of other individuals, a transexual, a lesbian and other gay men et al. Antonia becomes friends with Michele and toys with having an affair with his friend Emir.

The film makes a beautiful statement on the meaning of family, particularly for those who live outside the traditional dad-mom-and-baby-makes-three definition. Michele takes care of his sick friend Ernesto who has AIDS and is living with him. This entire family supports each other in ways any family should and manages to have a lot of good times in living every day.

Margherita Buy as Antonia and Stefano Accorsi as Michele are well cast. The supporting actors give good performances as well.

Be sure and watch this one on a big screen or the subtitles (the film is in Italian) will get in the way of the visuals.

Beauty and love .......2006-07-05

"His Secret Life" tells the story of the wife of a bisexual man, who discovers his other life for the first time after his sudden death in a traffic accident, and she befriends his lover and the Gay family of which he had been a part, secretly. Margherita Buy is lovely as the widow, and handles her role with grace, beauty and sensitivity that binds the film together, effortlessly. Stefano Accorsi plays the lover, who is jealous and resentful of her at first, but ultimately finds himself attracted to her, probably for many of the same reasons that her husband loved her so.

While the family consists of those who might be considered societal misfits by many people, love and caring bind them together and attract the widow to the group. By understanding them, and what her husband found so special in them, she comes to understand him more fully, and her love for him and his memory deepens. Her anger at his death, and her anger with respect to the lie that his death foist upon her, lessen and finally disappear as she appreciates and accepts the choices that he made in life, putting her first in actuality.

Also, it is the story of two people, the widow and her husband, who bridge the Gay and straight worlds and find beauty and love in both.

Don't judge this film by its stereotypical cover.......2006-03-27

Like any discerningly skeptical blue /porn film custumer, I would usually SKIP a flick with a stereotypical flesh-baring cover like this. But a friend recommended it so I quickly watched it and finally had to let my judgement down - the story feels as good as you watch it twice.

The character of Antonia, the widow who discovered her late husband's 7-year affair with a man, is a remarkable growing spirit and it takes a tour de force for Margherita Buy to play out her guts.

GREAT MOVIE.......2006-02-04

THE STORY IS PERHAPS A LITTLE PREDICTIBLE, BUT IT IS SET IN ITALY, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFERENT FOR THE AMERICAN AUDIENCE.
GENERALLY THE FIL DEALS WITH TOLERANCE, WITH HAVING A CHOSEN FAMILY, AND WITH ACCEPTANCE.- UNDERSTANDING THE STRAIGHT WORLD AND THE GAY WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF A WOMAN AND A MAN WHO SHARED THE SAME MAN.
THE STORY OF BEING THE OTHER WOMAN-AS BOTH CHARACTERS WERE "THE OTHER WOMAN", AND THE ROLLS THEY TAKE AND ASSUME GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
