Movie Reviews of Middlemarch
Movie Review: The best of George Eliot
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very, very good movie of her best writings, from our view. We first watched it, and purchased a VHS copy for our home in England. The last paragraph of the book sums it up well, and has been a theme of many of my speaches. It made me want to be a better person. As with most period movies, Americans must understand England and the British to appreciate it. Highly recommended reading, and the movie is as good as any could be from such an incredible book.Movie Review: great movie; engrossing; DVD needs program insert
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic British production, with great performances working a wonderful literary effort.
As for the DVD, there was no program insert, which would have helped "navigation" tremendously. The DVD is two-sided, meaning the side identification is in tiny, tiny lettering around the circumference of the center core. Without a program insert, it took us a while to determine if we'd seen only one episode, or an entire first side. Frustrating.
Movie Review: Fabulous, moving, worthy....
Summary: 5 Stars
I read Middlemarch 5 times in college, and did a thesis thereon. This dvd was a humbling experience, for it showed that, while I grasped the thought of this masterpiece, the beauty of it entirely passed me by (ah well, that was 40 years ago...so perhaps absolution is possible). One misses only Eliot's elegant sentences but, surely, for that one must return to hard copy which, all these decades later, I certainly plan to do.Movie Review: New George Eliot Fan!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a huge Jane Austen Fan and now am a Huge George Eliot fan!
This movie takes place in the 19th century England and will have you pulled in right away. You will not be able to stop watching the movie until you have watched it all the way through, from beginning to end.
This is a must see!!! I give this movie 5 stars for it's fun plots and twists, and the talented acting and extreme talent behind the scenes!
Movie Review: Thumbs up!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderfully produced and acted presentation of the novel. I was not able to see the entire series, but what I saw was amazing. The pacing is wonderful, the characters are so well-portrayed, and the novel's text itself, as presented here, is fascinating. It has a kind of wisdom that is well worth taking in. I was happy to have taken the time to watch what I could of this presentation.
