As you say, I wasn't convinced of the accuracy of some of Bathsheba's costuming, but they certainly suited her character and the movie as a whole. The book is well worth reading, as they always have to cut material for a movie.

I've been meaning to rewatch the 1998 miniseries, so I can compare the two, but as of right now this one is my favorite!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-86922369579829101032016-02-04T14:39:32.046-05:002016-02-04T14:39:32.046-05:00Good review!

It's a very good adaptation I think, and I even like it better than the book. It was a little romanticized, or rather, the romantic moments were tweaked to be more modernly romantic. The book in some way was more romantic. The only I really missed when re-watching the movie after reading was Gabriel's character, which we get to know much more in the book, but the film focused more on Bathsheba.

The book itself isn't steamy, but it definitely has those undercurrents and I was pretty sure I knew where they'd go with them. :P Aargh. Ah well. Maybe someday! Thank you so much for being so exact so I'd definitely easily know where to skip! :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-78046488207653388412016-02-04T08:58:11.146-05:002016-02-04T08:58:11.146-05:00Oh oh, oh my! Where shall I begin? This is my al...Oh oh, oh my! Where shall I begin? This is my all time favourite film, and I loved it so much I just had to buy it for my very own! Once I had seen the film - which is was a bit wary about seeing considering the story line - I started reading the book and have even more admiration for this film adaption as it is quite 'by the book', happily! The music...ah, yes! That folk song is indeed catchy, and I have only just learnt it after practicing it for weeks! Carey has such a beautiful voice! I saw her in Bleak House and liked her very much...I thought she played this role perfectly...in the book, Bathsheba has jet black hair, which is pretty much the only real difference between the characters... And Oak - he is my all time favourite literary heroine as he is even kinder and more gentleman like in the book and the most wonderful man for Bathsheba to lean on...<br />I do feel that this beautiful film is a must-see for all, especially as it takes you through Bathsheba's various romances and I think there is much about choices to be learnt through it... Thank you for a lovely review, Miss Laurie!Kelly-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439145629751304862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-19559651132202524852016-02-04T08:31:39.153-05:002016-02-04T08:31:39.153-05:00Thank you for your review!

I was so unsure though how appropriate it would be so it's nice to be able to get a better idea of that. I'll definitely have to watch it sometime. :) Lois Tinúvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01113667315479652015noreply@blogger.com
