The Bodyguard
Director: Mick Jackson
Year: 1992
I know this is probably hard to believe but this is the first time I have ever seen the movie The Bodyguard. So far, this is the best movie I have seen made in the year 1992. It was definitely my kind of movie. I loved that the legendary Whitney Houston played pretty much herself and her bodyguard who is played by Kevin Costner who is an amazing actor that fall in love. With previous knowledge that this was Houston’s first movie, I was surprised that Whitney Houston was such a good actress she was. I love that the movie has lots of twists and turns and that the plot really engages the audience. I love that this the character Frank is supposed to be this badass but you still see his soft side in his infatuation with Rachel. Throughout the movie the viewer can notice that Frank would do anything, even if that meant endangering himself, to keep Rachel away from harm. My favorite scene is probably the most iconic scenes in the entire film, is the final scene when Rachel is saying goodbye to Frank at the airport and as she is boarding the plane, I will always love you begins to play. I cannot lie, I cried. It was just such a heart wrenching moment.
The film uses many different shots, which makes the movie flow very nicely and brings it all together. The acting and the music is the best part about this movie. There is seriously something so special about Whitney’s voice and the director did a great job of making her music a priority throughout the film. There was a definite chemistry on screen between Houston and Costner, their love for each other was believable and they both did a great job showing that. I think what the director and cast wanted to get across to their viewers is that you can fall in love, but it is not always going to be easy, that love is hard. It was an amazing movie and I absolutely loved it. I would recommend this film to anyone.
