I really loved this adaptation - I think Elaine Cassidy gives Lucy a lot of depth, Rafe Spall is very sexy and all the other actors are great in their roles - Mr Beebe, for instance, is perfect! Music is so atmospheric (that includes all the pieces Lucy plays on the piano - I loved that they included her playing different things at her heart´s content - it´s an important part of her personality). Thanks very, very much for sharing the series - I´ll probably re-watch it before long! ;-))
I am in love with the book and the old version of this and was really excited when I found there was a 2007 version, especially when I found out who was playing Lucy. But urgh this was so dreadful. The setting was dull, the music wrong and George was just plain creepy. The ending was completely idiotic, and fell miles short of being poignant. None of the jokes were funny, Lucy was far to intense instead of just naive. I could go on for hours. Do not remake a classic that has achieved perfection!
Lol, I've recently read the book, and thought maybe my e-book was missing last pages that I missed dying part. I'll check 1985 version one. Hate sad endings.
The acting in this is terrible and doesn't portray the characters from the novel at all, as well as a horrible ending that serves no good for the rest of this shit adaptation.
I have suffered through this trying to be objective. It has its moments but even Mr. Fox who I think a splendid actor seems all wrong and quite wooden. Only now I am consoled by the other comments I read to know I am not alone. I did watch the original some days ago just for relief and to ascertain whether I was still sane. The original is a work of Art from beginning to end with some of England's finest actors of the time. The photography was appalling. Basta! Grateful for the Posting.
This is an awful adaptation. The music is wrong, the writing is wrong, the ending is wrong. Forster wrote a light comedy and this adaptation makes it into a dark tragedy. C'mon. Watch the 1985 version with Helena Bonham Carter, Julian Sands, and Maggie Smith. Never try to redo perfection.
i'm sorry to say but this was a terrible adaptation...the ending was just wrong! the 1985 one is still my alltime favorite period drama. thanks for uploading it though ;)
How sad and unnecessary! If I'm not mistaken, I think A Room With A View is generally considered to be Forster's most positive novel, and they go and make the ending like that.
@strongerthenlove he doesn't die in the book, but i do recommend picking up a copy of the novel that includes 'a view without a room' it is e.m. forsters' conclusion to the story it is only a chapter long but if your wondering what happens to the characters later on this should suffice
ay no se para que la vi iba muy bien la pelicula y con un final perfecto y de la nada me matan a George ay noo eso no me gusto que tristeee odio las peliculas con final triste, ya la vida real es muy triste para encima verla en peliculas...no la veo mas :(
@youarpa no acaba asi el libro?? y quienes dos quedan juntos? si alteraron el final del libro de esa manera entonces para nada me gusto esta adaptacion :/
@jussym09 NO Que va Lucy Y Gearge quedan juntos y se van a Italia De nuevo a la pension Bertolini, SOlo que su mama se enfado con ella y no la hablaba y los demás allí estaban Jajjaja =) Y lo que yo sepa eso de que se muere en la guerra y se queda con el cochero yo no lo he leido nose si alguien sabe d otra adaptacion pero que yo sepa acaba asi como conte antes.
No puede ser estaba ya tan feliz.... y resulta que el final es desconcertante ..hasta llore.. buena pelicula estuvo entretenida solo el final no me gusto mucho .. gracias por subirla..
Con lo bien que iba y... ¡menudo final de mierrrrrr! Como no recordaba exactamente el libro me puse a buscar y resulta que después de la guerra Forster añadió esto en un apéndice (que mi edición no tiene). Me habría gustado más sin ese añadido, pero supongo que habrán querido hacer algo diferente de la otra peli, ya puestos a hacer una versión nueva cuando la otra era tan buena.
Me ha gustado la versión, pero el final ha sido un alarde moralista del director, esto junto con que nos explican demasiadas cosas, me hace valorar más la versión de Ivory, que además se ajusta más a la intención de Foster (crítica social con una sonrisa)
@GothicTokiota es que este final es innecesario, además que la novela original acaba como la versión de los ochenta, vamos, bien. Esto es un nuevo final inventado y encima para dejarnos mal regusto. :/
uh whhhhat? This is as bad as when Demi Moore was in The Scarlet Letter and they had Dimsdale come at the end with an Indian raid to save Hester....

maybe it's because I've seen Rafe Spall in other films, but it's hard to find his portrayal as creepy, lol
