Movie Reviews of Middlemarch
Movie Review: Now an all-time favorite of mine.
Summary: 5 Stars
Have watched this mini-series twice since I received it and I can sum it up in one word ... WOW! The character development, sub-plots, relationships and conversation in this, George Elliot's best work, are a feast for any BBC production devotee. The complexity of the theme(s) in the book as well as the intricate relationships are well portrayed.
This mini-series is must viewing that satisfies the intellect as well as all the other senses involved in entertainment. Be prepared for a long sitting as you won't be able to tear yourself away once you begin the first disc.
Movie Review: A brilliant production
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful journey! This was required reading for High School Literature and though I have not read the book since then, this movie brought it all back - capturing so many of the nuances of the time and subtleties of the characters that I was completely drawn into the period again. I commend the producers on the superb cast selection. I felt afresh the agony of both Dorothea's and Lydgate's unfortunate marriages and the thinly veiled passion of Ladislaw's character. A long but thoroughly enjoyable ride. It is with pride that I add this DVD to my collection of period movies.Movie Review: Middlemarch
Summary: 5 Stars
'Middlemarch' is a wonderful book and the BBC did a terrific job in producing this for the small screen. It is tragic that this kind of television does not have a wider audience - but then how can this compete with the money that the television channels make from advertising when they poison society's mind with the horrors of 'Ultimate Fighting' and wrestling - thought, gentlity and good dialogue can not compare to a smash, albeit pretence, on the head with a metal chair. And we wonder why our society is 'dumbing down'.Movie Review: Very well done
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a highly faithful adaptation of George Eliot's "Middlemarch." Others have outlined the plot, so I won't do it here. The only major thing that is left out is how Mr. Bulstrode is connected to Will Ladislaw. It was very well cast, although I imagined Ladislaw to be more handsome. Rosamond was just as annoying as she was in the book--she's a character I love to hate. For those concerned with content, there is mild swearing and a brief scene between two married people, but nothing is explicit.
Movie Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
Separated into episodes. Before each episode, the film goes through the same introductory song and video. At the end of each episode are the credits. Since it's two sided, you can't watch all the episodes straight through. This is a very good film adaptation of the novel. The casting is ideal and includes some very good acting. Everyone looks almost exactly as you might imagine from their discriptions in the novel. This is a very good story...I recommend you read the book though--it's too good not to.
