Every Time We Say Goodbye (1986)

Excellent movie and one of the better love stories I have seen. What made the movie so engaging was the terrific acting of the two leads. Tom Hanks and the lovely Spanish actress Cristina Marsillach. There was real chemistry between the two actor/actress and their passionate love affair overcame everything in the end. Even though its set in WW2 we don't see anything of the fighting of WW2. Except a story about a strong love affair by two people in a time of war. To make this a very enjoyable movie to watch. A forgotten gem from the 1980s, which I first came across back in the 1990s. Definitely 2 hours well spent if anything just for watching Tom Hanks and Christina Marsillach at their best on screen.

Every Time We Say Goodbye takes on very significant historical, cultural, and family issues regarding the burden of History on individuals who are attempting to for personal relationships, Cultural conflicts that evolved from the violent history and the "Existential" plight that results from all of these influences deeply affecting individuals who attempting to create personal relationships.While Every Tine We Say Goodbye has some problems with smoothness in terms of the screen play, its content probes the very deep sources of hatred, prejudice and conflict that are threatening civilization three decades later.

This is a gem that was obviously made on a low budget, nothing spent on anything, no well-known actors, at the time, yet the story is of such a special nature with a magic of inexplicable charm that I can say it is one of my favorite little movies of all time. You don't know me. My reviews hold no unusual weight. My opinions garner no undue attention, but if you trust anything I ever say then get this one and to any age group, personality type, or of any type of relationship to you, show it to them. They will smile the rest of the day at the thought of the movie and that you were so perceptive in offering it to them. Few people can agree on the type of movie they like. This one is universally accepted as a little known pearl of great value.

I want to watch it again, I thought Tom Hanks really played the scenes very well and when they were in his room the first time I felt my heart skipping beats along with his breathing. The family of the girl played it all out true to life right down to the clothing taken away. The girl Sara was a bit hard to read sometimes with her facial expressions and body language was a bit stiff and acted, but over all she made it ass believable as she most likely could. I liked it a lot and am looking forward to watching it again soon. Tom Hanks Ruled!! Looking forward to seeing Christina(Sara) in the movie OPERA. Looks like a good Thriller and she is the lead actress too I think. SHe Reminds me a lot of Isabella Rosalinie.
