The Way We Were 1973 123movies

Watch: The Way We Were 1973 123movies, Full Movie Online – The often unlikely joint lives of Katie Morosky and Hubbell Gardiner from the late 1930s to the late 1950s is presented, over which time, they are, in no particular order, strangers, acquaintances, friends, best friends, lovers and adversaries. The unlikely nature of their relationship is due to their fundamental differences, where she is Jewish and passionate about her political activism both in political freedoms and Marxism to an extreme where she takes life a little too seriously, while he is the golden boy WASP, being afforded the privileges in life because of his background but who on the most part is able to capitalize on those privileges. Their lives are shown in four general time periods, in chronological order when they attend the same college, their time in New York City during WWII, his life as a Hollywood screenwriter post-war, and his life as a writer for a New York based live television show. It is during college that Hubbell finds his voice in life as a writer, and that Katie sees beyond his good looks to find a person with substance who realizes his position in a life as something that does not give him an inherent right to those opportunities. External world events, such as the Spanish Civil War, WWII and the House Un-American Activities investigation, do affect their lives directly, but it is how they deal with these effects personally, largely in relation to personal relationships – such as with Hubbell’s long term friends J.J. and Carol Ann, the latter his college girlfriend – that may dictate if Katie and Hubbell are able to make it in the long term as a couple..
Plot: Two desperate people have a wonderful romance, but their political views and convictions drive them apart.

Hollywood schmaltz or deeply felt love story?
Actually, “The Way We Were” is both, and happily so. It’s a classy romantic period drama about a 1940s wallflower in New York who blooms in love with her ex-jock boyfriend (an old acquaintance from their college days), and the movie overflows with star-power. None of today’s celebrities have the kind of chemistry Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford bring to the screen, and Streisand in particular is so deeply into this character that the herky-jerky editing and breathless writing don’t harm her or get in the way (the faults can easily be overlooked). When writer Redford adapts his novel into a screenplay and the couple marries and moves to Hollywood in the McCarthy-Blacklist era, her passion for politics gets them both in hot water; that’s where this script hits a snag, with increasingly melodramatic plotting (Redford’s affair with a former flame) and confusion in the character motivations (this primarily due to hasty, eleventh-hour editing). Still, it is a handsomely-produced movie with a great tearjerker ending and two fine stars who plow right through the nonsense and bumpy continuity. They transcend the make-believe surroundings, turning the picture into something really special, something to remember. ***1/2 from ****

When Stars Align
The confluence of great direction (Sydney Pollack), a great script (Arthur Laurents), great acting, and great music (score and song) must necessarily result in a singular film, and “The Way We Were” is not just one of the best romances of all time. It is one of the best films of all time.

Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford play two people from different worlds, different strata of society, different classes. The film covers their relationship over the years between the late 1930s and the late 1950s. They negotiate dramatic world changes and dramatic personal changes. Through it all, the question is whether or not love alone is enough to sustain a relationship. No other film answers that fundamental question better than “The Way We Were”.

This film contains some of my favorite cinematic lines and some of my favorite scenes. And a few of those memorable moments that make cinema such a transcendent medium.

I you love a good romance–one that contains multiple levels of subtext in every scene and every look–this is the film to see.
