I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

It had that kind of ending you would have expected from Rod Serling. If you were a fan of the Twilight Zone, you would have loved seeing this.For a while as I watched this movie, I wondered if perhaps the story might be of a woman whose life had been ruined by having made a selfish decision in not measuring up to the devotion and willingness to have given her life for her friend as her friend had shown that willingness for her. This movie goes to the heart of the saying that "no greater love for another is the giving of one's life so that others might live." But along with that: what happens to us when we for whatever reason can't live up to that great ideal, that maybe the guilt ridden life we live after might not be worth living. We see all that in this movie. It was a beautiful movie, one that will stay with me.

This film is a beautiful and lyrical meditation of what could have been. What if things would have happened differently? The Life before her Eyes is the second film from director Vadim Perelman, whose first film The House of Sand and Fog brought wide critical praise. It was nominated for three Academy Awards, including best lead actor for Ben Kingsley.The Life Before her Eyes stars Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood playing the same character of Diana. As a teenager (Wood) she is a free spirited girl who is caught in an unthinkable situation. When a boy at school goes on a shooting rampage she and her best friend become trapped in the bathroom with him. The story then flashes forward and we see Diana all grown up with a husband and a young daughter. She is continually haunted by the events of that day and the kind of person she was back then. She tries to protect and nurture her daughter onto a better path but she looks to be failing. Her husband is a professor at a local college and could be having and affair.The plot swaps back a fourth between the young Diana and her best friend Maureen, played by Ava Amurri and the older Diana and her family. It chronicles the building of young girls' friendship and how they have arrived to the point when they are facing down the gunman. While Maureen is religious and chaste, Diana is quite liberal and currently seeing an older man. They are complete opposite personalities, but as friends they were made for each other.The movie is beautifully shot and wonderfully acted. As far as casting goes even though Evan and Uma have similar looking faces, their body types are quite different. The time lines of events for Diana are also a bit sketchy. There is a big twist ending that is a quite debatable and could turn some people against this movie. It could also explain some of the inconsistencies. It deals with some pretty heavy issues to the point of being overstuffed, but it is a good experience overall. The DVD contains many special features including a director's commentary.

The narrative of 'Life Before Her Eyes' switches backwards and forwards between two episodes in the life of Diana McFee. The first is her teenage summer prior to a Colombine-style high school massacre - while the second occurs twenty years later, as her town prepares to remember this tragic event's anniversary. In the high school time-line, Diana (Evan Rachel Wood) hangs out with best friend Maureen (Eva Amurri), alternately discussing future plans and current boyfriends. Their fine performances are captured in radiant dreamlike cinematography which intensifies a sense of foreboding as they approach their fateful encounter with a homicidal armed schoolmate.In the later sequences, a 30-something Diana (Uma Thurman) is embroiled in another crisis, with her marriage under strain and a precocious daughter exhibiting rebellious tendencies similar to Diana's student behavior. Unfortunately these segments are handicapped by a banal story-line and Thurman's lifeless performance. By the end of the film all the loose ends have been neatly resolved, but the climax is ruined by a plot twist which contradicts all the previous character development. Apparently this flawed finale was forced on the producers at Thurman's insistence.

I really have to question whether the people who reviewed this film in a positive way did, in fact, work on the film. It's just so bad and pretentious. And was this film not already made...Gus Van Sant's film, albeit a different point of view?! The script is clearly dreadful and how they ever got Vadim Perelman involved in this mess is beyond me. I don't see any of the directing skill from House of Sand and Fog. The flashbacks are really cheap and the whole film is just full of obvious device. This was a bad script that got some notable talent attached and somehow made it to production. And what a mistake that was. The Life Before Her Eyes should have been killed in development.
