Tess of the D'Urbervilles (2008) - dance scene - HD

[CollaborationSeries]

I loved the part from the '98 version when Angel was perusing all the girls when choosing a partner. I'm sad they cut that out.... :-( Plus, he DID sort of dance with Tess here, but he's not supposed to at all. Boo! Stick with the '98 version!

the one with Justine Waddell had a better dance scene.

I love the soundtrack to this version of Tess

[eurasianGirl12]

this scene is so heartbreaking when you know what happens :(

Hmm...isn't that a bit too idealistic? Women are no different from men, they can be aggressive, rude and condescending... equal rights and all that.

[bengusandlex]

I would give all my possesions and work like a dog for the rest of my days to secure any of these pure women as a wife in the circled dance scene. When women were real women and not the aggressive, rude, condescending and disgusting article that we see so frequently today.

[bex9101]

@bengusandlex what you mean is when women were still the property of men and couldn't express their opinion or have any life of their own without suffering the same fate as Tess, whilst men could go around doing whatever they liked without having to suffer any of the consequences. That's really quite a sexist view you know...

[barnabyfraser]

@bex9101 No, no. What is meant is an old fashioned girl is much, much more favourable and lovelier than many of the loutettes you see around you today. And i dont mean the property of men, but a better and cleaner life of love and romance, sharing everything with each other and not been corrupted by the bad greedy choices of today. Tess of the Durbervilles is not a good example though.

(And there's still no equality as such in this day, there's still wrongdoings to women in places.)

@bengusandlex

that is because women did not have much rights back then :) now they do but i understand that still doesn't give them the excuse to be disrespectful :( neither for men :(

@bengusandlex

Rejected much?

[blueIbeauty]

@bengusandlex That is incredibly misogynistic.

[maryellen21]

anyone know the name of the song playing at the end of this video? it's played at different times in the film and I think it's beautiful. Anyone help?

[Jamesapplejuice]

@maryellen21 Did you ever find out? I've been trying to find it for hours.

[loesje91]

I love how they stayed true to the book and gave some girls dresses from a different era, how they looked at the details. It is a very pretty scene!

[ThnkHppyThghts]

@loesje91 Well..ALMOST. They forgot the red ribbon in Tess' hair ;) lol

[AjoseRow]

@loesje91 yeah they fucked this one up, at least they remembered there was a dance in it...

[Alienapiano]

Is Angel older or smaller than his brothers?

[Alienapiano]

Excuse me, I meant "younger" instead "smaller"... I'm not an English speaker and sometimes make some mistake (how embarrasing, haha) :)

[UntitledFairy]

I do believe he's supposed to be younger :)

[hazzer777]

does anybody know who composers ofthe music were

[Hippodameia]

Heehee.

[Goldhelmriel]

I love this version of the May Dance better than in the other films/t.v versions.
