Angels in America: HBO drama is a soaring study of hope and despair
If there were any power left in the overworked word "awesome," it would make good shorthand to describe "Angels in America," HBO's six-hour adaptation of an acclaimed play about America in the '80s. It's also thought-provoking, mind-blowing and, at times, breathtaking.
tonight I watched the golden globes and seen 'angels' receive many awards and then seen it was on again on HBO, reminded me how moved I was by this movie adaptation of the tony award winning play.

has any one else seen this truly inspiring mini-series?

Hi

Angels airs 2nite in the UK, and has been getting alot of hype. So, I am expecting to be completely drawn in and completely mesmerised!

Anyone out there seen it? What did you think? Let me know!

Is it worth all the attention its been getting?

yeah..it is really deep,kinda the sort of movie that makes you ask serious questions about the world and people in it, I felt it was enlightening..I also made a thread about it after I watched it..I hope you like it as much as I did!

oh one more thing the dialog between Al pacino and Jeffrey Wright is my favorite..beyond intelligent and powerful..honestly this one of my all time favorite movies now..I can wait till they release it on dvd!

TA , for replying will let you know what I think about first half torrow. I've got a feeling it will be right up my street.

I like surreal!

yes please come back and let me know..I don't know anyone who has gotten to see this, Id love to hear your thoughts!

I am watching it right now!!!

I want to be watching it right now.

Saw first half and thought it was excellent. You are right about the dialogue between Jeffrey Wright and Al Pacino. It was, without trying to sound corny - breathtaking. This is definately one to buy on DVD, so you can watch it again, and again! Can't wait for second half tonight!

I also loved the "ghosts" of the prewalters coming back to haunt, just all of it really. People kept calling me whilst I was watching it, in the end I sent a stroppy text telling them to leave me alone!

It drew me in totally....off to look around see if I can find out when its out on DVD.....bet its ages

I am glad to hear it captured you as well! it just gets better too! the second half is what really got me thinking about the big scope of the movie..can't wait to hear your second review!

yeah I bet your right though it will along time before it's out on dvd..I am gonna make everyone I know watch it once I get my hands on it

I can't seem to stay away from this thread I just checked my hbo here to see (praying) that 'angels' was on..and it is!(later tonight) but how are they playing it there is it divided up in 3hr halfs? here they have tonight a hour and a half of it the only time I got to catch all 6hrs was when they played it all in one day.

I loved that when they put it on Channel 4... although watching it for three hours solid was surprisingly tiring... has it been brought out onto DVD or anything, I'd like to own it (:
