Although I am sure John and Margaret will be very happy together, their marriage will have a couple of problems to sort through. John's mother and sister don't really accept or like Margaret and considering that Thornton is a bit of a mama's boy, this could lead to quite a few sparks flying. It's nothing that can't be dealt with though, and both of them are definitely capable of working it out. :)
Love the way he gives her that piercing gaze at 5:45 when he says, "Here in the North, we value our independence." Sent shivers through my spine, it did. :)
If you read the book by Gaskell, you will understand the charactor of Mr. Thornton much better. Of one side he is a tough brute and other side he is so caring and affectionate. Richard Armitage is perfect. This series does not entirely follow the novel.
@fdtk77 he says he would like to, but he doesn't-- he doesnt dictate what they do with their money or in their spare time. It's a redeeming quality, which highlights that though he is strict and stern in the area of work, he does not overstep his boundaries. He also imagines that ms hale thinks he would be an overbearinh master and it's a turn of phrase where he says he's sorry to disappoint her.
i don't understanwhy he says "i would like to play the overbearing master". english is my second language so I'm probably missing the point there. i've looked for the meaning it's something like domineering or authoritative master and it really doesn't make sense, except that it sounds really thrilling when Mr. Thornton says it(:
I love so very much the way she says "your mother has given me the number of her dr." then he asked in the most intoxicating worried voice I've ever heard "are you ill?!?" love it!!
Alright the man has a commanding presence, most arrogantly so, I'd say from his features, but come on, melting, fainting, knees buckling etc?
He seems like the type of person you could only enjoy quarreling and bickering with. He looks like a cynic, and trust me, cynics are otherwise not uplifting company.
And before the attacks start, I've drawn as much insubstantial conclusions as you have, based merely on his looks and role in the show, so let the discussion be in the spirit of fun.
@marybarton2011 no doubt. and I'm first in line for that, but if the only sweetness is to be found in sparing and he's just an inflexible hardened cynic after that? would you want that?
@mysterychemistry Being a huge cynic myself, I have to say I really would like it. I read the book, Thornton is actually as much of an idealist as Margaret, it kind of shows in his treatment of children in this series. I think he's the bigger softie of the two :)
@marybarton2011 well, even if he wanted to be his cynical self, the writer wouldn't let him. wait, are you telling me that you are charmed by the actor because you identify him with the character he plays? now, I understand all the swooning going on in here. :D
@mysterychemistry RA is perfect as Thornton because he matches Gaskell's physical description of the character. But in this case, I was thinking about Thornton's cynical personality. I do think RA is beautiful but I am saying that Thornton, the character, as Gaskell made him is a softie. Really. The book will convince you. Thornton is like Darcy, a little more expressive.
Wow i thought it would be boring to watch this a second time but it's suprisingly nice. And yes it's so cute when he says: are you ill? Damn this man is fine oeff!!
I love how he's looking at her like he's so surprised to see her converse with the workers unlike fanny and all them uppity females. He's so mesmerized by this woman. Out of all the woman in milton, he's in love with her. yes.
I love the scene @ 1:30 because to me you see a little more of Mrs Thornton's character. She's stern b/c of a lifetime of hardship but she values the love mothers have for their children. It's shown in this little action and the way she tries fiercely protect her son. That's why this movie is so good... subtle character development for every character, not just margret and thornton.
@goddessofmanga Have you ever worn a corset made especially for you? You might be surprised how comfortable one can be. I can fetch my dropped items off the floor with no problem. No reason to tho, if a willing gentleman is around. :D (But don't tightlace. That takes practice and time.)
@movieluvr69 Yes! But how could they cast him as a dwarf, of all things? And his voice is so much like Sean Bean's (the guy who played Boromir in LOTR). I can't wait to see what they do with Richard!
@movieluvr69 I'm actually excited. I live in America and I'm a huge fan of Richard Armitage. I think him being in this film will give him the well-deserved exposure he needs in the states!
Gosh, this Richard Armitage is a great actor. I can't believe I've never heard of him, or this miniseries before. He doesn't have to say much, you can see everything in his face. I agree, we don't see this kind of actors in America. I think the difference is a lot of British actors actually went to drama school, and not got into acting just because a pretty face.
@boya307 Right. That used to be the case with most American actors; the great ones of the past studied for the stage and screen. I wish that would be the trend again. I also wish Hollywood could stop being cheap and let the best writers come forward instead of living on remakes and comic books.
When he says that he "would like to play the overbearing master", is it my imagination, or does he have kind of a mischievous little smile? As if he was thinking about another way of "playing" with Margaret...
There are a few little scenes missing from this version of North and South which are on my DVD. After Mrs Thornton tells the mother she can keep her place if she can get another child there in an hour, Mr Thornton tells Mrs Thornton she knows how to run the mill as well as he does.
@xxAmyyy Yeah! I've been noticing scenes missing throughout! I haven't purchased this DVD yet - which DVD did you purchase? I want to be sure I get the full version.
@salhaj100 Oh but it already has started! Hee hee. Just look how concerned he is when he thinks she might be ill. It's understated, but still there....
I love the BBC period dramas and discovered this one on a recommendation from Netflix so decided to give it a try. Wow! This quickly became my favorite since the Colin Firth version of P&P. Oh, and since everyone is commenting on the music, I love it too! The music is similar throughout except during the final moments of the series. Wait and see - you'll love it too :-)
At 5:27 Margaret asks Mr T about how workers spend their money and their moral duty. What is she getting at? I don't get it? Why should an employer care how workers spend their money? I'm confused.....
She is a member of the lower gentry from the south of England, which traditionally had been very involved in social welfare efforts toward the poorer members of their parishes, etc. At the beginning she states she visits families in her father's parish, etc. Southern landowners worried about the morals of their tenants, farmers, etc.
i found this show whilst listening to a music video by Amanda Marshal - Beautiful Goodbye, now I am hooked..line.. and sinker.... have to go and buy the series now.... thanks for uploading it.. I really enjoy these period dramas.... and Thornton being so devilishly handsome... well, that just makes it more enjoyable....;-)
There is some reason for the way the mom talks to Margaret. Margaret is a snob. She puts on airs and thinks she knows everything. She has no idea how business and commerce work. If she knew anything, she would get what is going on.
i agree. Margaret is kind-hearted, but she is disregarding the business side of things... She waltz in like she knows everything. I do appreciate her considerations to the workers though, but before she can solve the problems, she need to hear from both sides and not so quick to judge on who's right and who's wrong. But Margaret is not perfect and i think that's why she's a likeable character cuz everyone has faults no matter how seemingly perfect they are on the outside.
Ok I have to say..I come back to this part for the music when I feel sad. Anyway, I read on wikipedia that BBC expected this to fail and it was one of their biggest series to date. That'll show em!
@Bufurzone i think they didn`t really care about the health, you know. i don`t think they saw them as other human being. the thinking of equals and stuff is modern. and i don`t know how far they know about how the dust was killing the workers
@1dumbbird Because America has yet to figure out that true romance doesnt need teeny bop music, sex, and boobs lol. All we need is a good plot, a blossoming love, and some BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!
Some of us in America have realized it! I am an American down to the core, but I absolutely love BBC period dramas and such. I get so sick of the cliche "teeny bop" chick flicks!!
I am a huge fan of Austen, Dickens, and Gaskell!
Thank you BBC for making this and you lindamas1 for posting it!
@icesk8ergal1123 I completely agree....I'm American through and through but I love BBC Drama's...my mom and I both. They are so much more entertaining and well written than a lot of shows......thank you Dickens, Gaskell and Austen!
@talidina2 AGREED. men always look handsome dressed up like that and us girls always look better dressed up to!! and you just descibed everyones feelings for that man's hotness XD
@MmeLucySnowe Men still dress like that it called a suit of clothes and if a man does not own a suit of clothes these days he is not a man. No purple, orange or yellow but a simple western Brooks Brothers style suit of clothes. PERIOD!!!!!!

Ok I have to say..I come back to this part for the music when I feel sad. Anyway, I read on wikipedia that BBC expected this to fail and it was one of their biggest series to date. That'll show em!

"I would like to play the overbearing master" whhhhyyy did I put that statement in the gutter?
I consider myself well educated, but when he said that with the little twinkle in his eye. My mind went right to a sexual fantasy! Ashamed...

@Bufurzone i think they didn`t really care about the health, you know. i don`t think they saw them as other human being. the thinking of equals and stuff is modern. and i don`t know how far they know about how the dust was killing the workers

it was written by Martin Phipps especially. He's the BBC equivalent to John Williams.

Thank you for posting this. We don't get these kinds of films in America. (No boobs? No explosions?) Art is dead in Hollywood.

@1dumbbird I know this is so different from american movies..

@1dumbbird Because America has yet to figure out that true romance doesnt need teeny bop music, sex, and boobs lol. All we need is a good plot, a blossoming love, and some BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!

Some of us in America have realized it! I am an American down to the core, but I absolutely love BBC period dramas and such. I get so sick of the cliche "teeny bop" chick flicks!!
I am a huge fan of Austen, Dickens, and Gaskell!
Thank you BBC for making this and you lindamas1 for posting it!

@MmeLucySnowe Men still dress like that it called a suit of clothes and if a man does not own a suit of clothes these days he is not a man. No purple, orange or yellow but a simple western Brooks Brothers style suit of clothes. PERIOD!!!!!!
