Movie #1057 "Far from the Madding Crowd" was movie one on the plane coming home, and to me it was a winner. Beautiful landscape, good acting, moving story, strong major female character based on a very good book --- I very much got engrossed in the travails of this Bathsheba Everdene played by Carey Mulligan. I guess I liked the landscape, the love story and the richness of detail in the characters the most. We rarely see that in films these days, unless they are based on rich characters to begin with, and for sure Thomas Hardy provided a lot of the details presented here in these characters. I recommend it, on a plane or not.
2015PG-13Rated PG-13119 mins
In this period drama based on Thomas Hardy's classic novel, winsome Bathsheba Everdene wins the hearts of three disparate men: sheep farmer Gabriel Oak, dashing soldier Frank Troy and William Boldwood, a moneyed older man.
