Saw this movie as a kid on TV...this is what started me off on the trail of samba, which I still love to this day. Love the story of Orpheus and Euridyce set to the samba beat at Carnival in Brazil. Pure beauty.

I really loved ths movie, it was a great way to look at true love; when the movie first started I didn't think I would like the movie; but I did once I got further along; I was engulfed completely, The movie was beautiful and it was amazing to look at black love of this intensity, I was bothered by Mira the woman who kept throwing herself at Orpheus; when it was obvious he did not love her, he did not desire her, she called herself his fiancee' when she brought her own ring. This movie was very beautiful to me, and it was a refreshing view of "Love", the real love between a man and a woman. Something that most people don't know the meaning of nowadays. I wish the ending hadn't of been so sad, I wish they didn't have to die, I wish Orpheus hadn't of let his emotions take over, because I believe that he would have had her back;if he had listened to the spirit.

this is what real love is about. i loved every minute of this film. it wasnt even a movie it was so real. BRAVO
