Always (1989)

An American romance directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter and John Goodman.
A man flies an airplane to put out forest fires, but his girlfriend wants him to become a flight instructor. He crashes his plane, dies and is assigned to be inspiration for his ex's new boyfriend.
Stupid, terrible and vapid. The audio sounded like modern films: the fire scenes sounded like they were happening in my room and the dialogue was a few blocks away. In a dialogue-driven plot (even what little there was of it), the dialogue needs to at least be audible. The characters were all shallow and lacked back-story. The audience never finds out what any of them were doing before the first scene of the movie. When all of this is piled on top of me not liking romance films, it does not end well. At the ending, when the woman sunk her plane, I was saying "drown, bitch, drown!" at the screen. I rate this bad. Do not watch!
