SEVENTH HEAVEN

The movie Seventh Heaven is about a girl who is abused by her sister who thinks that her life is over but with the hep of a very kind swage worker she finds that life is good and all that. I am not going to give the full summary cause I don't want to ruin anything, but I will give a short summary. 

The movie starts with a conversation between Chico, the sewage worker and his friend (who's name I forgot). During this conversation, Chico reveals that he wishes that he was street cleaner instead of being a sewage worker. Meanwhile, two sisters are having a more physical conversation in their small apartment home. There is a good sister, played by Janet Gaynor and an evil sister, played by Gladys Brockwell. A bunch of stuff happens and eventually the good sister, Diane, ends up looking dead in the street and Chico finds her and tells the police that Diane is his wife. The police tells Chico that he is going to be checking in on Chico to make sure that he isn't lying about being married. So... Diane comes up with the idea to stay with Chico until the police come to his house and then she will leave and Chico agrees. A whole lot happens, including Chico going to war and all that. It is a very exciting movie, kind of, and it has one of the best endings of any movie i've ever seen. 

So, if you don't hate romantic movies, and are looking for a good story and a touching ending... than watch this movie! 

There are two versions of this movie... one made in 1927, which is the version that I have been talking about, and another version made in 1937 with Simone Simon as Diane and James Stewart as Chico. I personally think that the 1927 version was much better than the 1937 version. I thought the acting was better and really just everything was better in the 1927 version. But, I suppose both movies tell the same story. If you really want the whole experience, watch the 1927 version.  If you aren't comfortable or whatever with silent movies, and you aren't so serious about this movie, than you can always watch the 1937 version. 

Now, I will give you some pictures...

I feel like if I give any other pictures I may spoil some of the good parts of this movie. If you want to see any more pictures... just search google, but!!!!!! before you do that, I recommend just taking the time to watch the movie. Either one... but the 1927 version is more... sophisticated I think. 
The 1927 version is rated 100% on rotten tomatoes, and the 1937 version is rated 55% on rotten tomatoes. I don't really understand what rotten tomato is really... but I know it rates movies and 100% is the best and 0% is the worst. Even though the second was only rated 55% it really doesn't mean everybody won't like it. 

Okay, watch this movie if you ever have the time. And leave a comment saying what you thought of the movie.
