Tess of the D'Urbervilles (Patience)

[shersher78]

This version is loads better than the '08 1

[chris276100]

Loved this version. Justine waddell was perfect as Tess. I really enjoyed the 2 leading actors performances as well. Gemma Arterton was very good in 2008 and more as Hardy described Tess physically, but Justine captured her vulnerability, especially in the final scenes, perfectly and I defy anyone not to cry

[BernardProfitendieu]

by far the best matched Tess and Angel

[poofbegone29]

I loved this montage. Thank you so much,

[appyhorsegirl]

ive seen the show just not this year and the guy that plays angel could play a good vampire

[theriddleofthesphynx]

all-time favourite book...a perfect description of my life...without the hanging part

[MellifluousMelodies]

@theriddleofthesphynx That's terrible about your life! I'm sorry to hear it. I was enraptured with this magnificent work of Hardy's as well when I read it.

[pericraig]

Excellent montage!

[pericraig]

VERY well done montage!

[LillybethLilyLeah]

The actor for Angel is so handsome~*

[mariussteaua88]

Read also A pair of blue eyes by Thomas hardy ;)

[TessDesmond]

Could you tell me what it's about without giving away any major details?

[mariussteaua88]

Details about whom?

[TessDesmond]

The book you mentioned "A pair of blue eyes". Can you tell me what its about without giving away anything? Is it anything like Tess of the D'urbervilles or Under the greenwood tree?

Thanks!

[tarquin509]

Yes... please post this movie... looks great!!!! Isn't this song from Sense and Sensibility and Kate Winslet sings it...???

[chalatenango234]

could you upload movie please......

[hamelofca]

I have a DVD.I however don´t know how to upload the film here...what should I do?

[SassoonOwen]

Justine Waddell is amazing in this...an amazing actress and so beautiful.

[stillwaterguy04]

I love Oliver Milburn in this, but I don't care for her.

[IloveRichardArmitage]

Awh this is sooo adorable. I want to see it. What year was this made in by the way? Is this the 1998 version? Oh have you heard BBC have a new miniseries of this out in the Autumn?

[loony29]

This is from the 1998 ITV version, which I think it is fabulous.

I am waiting for the BBC version which will be aired next sunday;)

[IloveRichardArmitage]

Thanks for that. Oh my god it's starting this week. I'm sooo excited. Thought I'd have to wait till October

[samara81989]

Yeah, I want to see both too!! Tess of the D'Urbervilles is such a great, powerful novel, hope to have the chance to watch it soon!!!

[littlebutterflii]

@IloveRichardArmitage I thought this movie would be good too, I really like the actress from Wives and Daughters. There are good scenes but the ending was very disappointing for me, just to warn you. I am guessing you have seen North & South with Richard Armitage? ;) Yeah... this doesn't end like that one... :( It was worse than a tragedy.

[barnabyfraser]

@littlebutterflii Armitage was decent in that one, but i wasnt impressed with the girl from my family, even in the end she was very disappointing. But the Armitage meadow scene when he's picking the yellow flower was supurb.

[obung3]

This book is very moving.

[brontesistersfan]

Es un video precioso, el libro me pareció muy triste y era como si Tess no pudiera hacer nada sino seguir su destino.

[hamelofca]

lovely video with lovely music- this theme from S&S fits very well:)

[Mercedes77789]

i just finished reading the book and i can't wait to see this. thx for posting the video, it was beautiful!

[celestesanmar]

¿Para cuándo unos subs en español de Tess? Me muero de ganar de verla. Ah, y de ¡Daniel Deronda, por favor!

Gracias infinitas por toda tu labor y a tus compañer@s de EscapeStories.

[loony29]

Igual ya lo sabes - estoy contestando con mucho retraso - pero ya existen subtítulos de ambas series. En el foro los encontrarás.

Saludos;)

[phantomwaltz]

They make it seem so romantic........ But he was in the book A CREEP.. both him and Angel were creeps

[KittyStarlight]

Angel wasn't a creep, he just didn't understand. He put her on a pedestal and expected her to be *perfect*...he was too innocent, more innocent than she was by the time they got together (I mean, she wasn't innocent in her mind any more, not just, she wasn't a virgin). Alec is *horrible* in the book AND in this version...but in the book, Tess actually told him right out that she didn't like him! (And if I were in her place, I would probably want to murder him too. But I'd try not to.)

[lovetolive4eva]

Angel wasn't innocent though, that was half the point. He had an affair too, in London with an older women who sedjucied him, its just that he couldn't be judged by it becasue he was a man.

[KittyStarlight]

To lovetolive4eva: I know Angel wasn't "innocent" (virginal) sexually, that isn't what I meant. I meant, he had (at first) sort of high-flown noble ideas of what an "ideal woman" should be, and he didn't really understand that a *real* woman in *real* life can be not like *that* but still *good*. He thought that Tess wasn't the Tess he thought she was when he found out that she wasn't completely "pure". He thought "purity" and goodness were the same thing in women. (To be continued.)

[KittyStarlight]

(Continued) I mean, Angel thought the way he did about "purity" and goodness and innocence because he believed too much in certain kinds of innocent ideals, *and* because of the prejudices of the time period, *not* because he himself was just a jerk or a d*** or something as some people keep implying (no offense to them, they are entitled to their opinion too! ^_^). He wasn't just being petty. He had an ideal image of his perfect Tess, and it hurt to have his image tarnished.

[punjabitouch89]

You know I could understand where Angel was coming from and how he felt he was cheated and all but the thing that vexed me was the part (in the book) where he asks Izzy to go to Brazil with him. It made me soooo mad and I had to hate him becuase not only was he being disloyal to Tess but was also going to use Izzy's "purity" to forget about Tess...

[pericraig]

You need to think about the context of the book historically .... it was a typical morality play. She is somehow "wrong" for having ben victimized, and so she loses out on true happiness, just as Angel does.

[KittyStarlight]

I understand how Angel felt...he just didn't realize at first that his *lack* of understanding of Tess had really hurt *her*...*more* than his first sudden shock of finding out that she wasn't totally "pure" had hurt him. But I do understand. On his wedding night, he finds out that his bride isn't really as "pure" as he thought she was? That had to hurt. Particularly if he'd been assuming that all good women were automatically "pure". Men have feelings too, after all. ^_^

[KittyStarlight]

Tess: "No, it can't be worse, because it's just the same..." (her sin can't be worse than his, because it's the same sin) (and yes, it is, if they were both seduced!). Tess *knew* she wasn't "pure as the driven snow" or whatever, that's exactly *why* she didn't think she could marry Angel at first. She presumably believed that she was supposed to be "pure" and all that *too*. It was the custom at the time, people tended to just think that it was what to expect (for women, anyway).

[sinbin55671]

KittyStarlight, I agree with everything you said, you analyze the book very well.

[Muirmaiden]

I heard the BBC has produced their own version, to air in the fall. Hans Matheson is to play Alec d'Urberville, I don't recognize the names of the actors to play Tess and Angel.

[KittyStarlight]

To Muirmaiden (lovely name ^_^):

That would be nice to see...but of course

it probably won't air in America until at least

*next* year...sigh.

=^___^=

[Muirmaiden]

Thanks, KittyStarlight, your name is lovely too. And unfortunately, I do think you're right regarding that the BBC version probably won't air in North America until next year - seems to be the way it goes.

[deedeedmr]

hans will make a nice and creepy alec.

[literarygenius09]

nicely edited. great film and top acting.

[Kynos1]

I like the book. It shows you the hypocrisy of Victorian morality.

[MidnighWolf]

Man what a sad story.

Thomas Hardys origional novel, the play, the film, none of them ever fail to make me cry, but hey, I aint about to admit that out-loud lol.

Doing the play in a few months but our director wont let me write a happy ending for it lol.

Tess, Angel, what went wrong?!?

Alec is a barstard! (He's also my character.)

[Emse123]

I really love it! does anyone know where you watch it?

[LittlebunnyakaPygmy]

I LOVE this movie !! I recently borrowed it from the library i really really want to make a music video for it !!

[barney606]

Ooh I love it. I have not seen this movie but I will be looking for it now...

[loony29]

Hello everyone, thanks for your comments. I'm so glad you like the video. I know it's a sad movie, but the happy moments between Tess and Angel are beautiful.

[brandnewnoviciate]

I haven't seen this version ,as I tend to avoid sad films but your video is very beautiful,Koniczyncal sent it to me 5/5 gone to faves Y.

[koniczynkaL]

This is so lovely... Favs and 5* It touched my heart :-)

[amy5172003]

I love the book and the movie looks good too, although that is not the picture of Tess I had in my mind.

[jannag1]

I saw this movie, and It was wonderful, very touching and sad story, and all actors were great. But it was so sad, that Im afraid to see it again.

[dorritclennam]

Wonderful video, thank you - do you have anymore?

[bulakaiser]

Great tribute to a great adaptation of an equally great book! Thank you! Do you have the music from the ITV production?

[thomascarrieau]

love it love it...i love the whole video clip...

and i love justine waddell too.

[loony29]

Thanks for your comments;)

[Cosmad85]

Do you have this film? I have seen it only once and I would like to see it again but I cannot afford buying so your video made me really happy. Thanks for posting it!

[parabellem]

This story is a touchstone of linguistic enchantment, visual art, and an exhibition that redemption is the crown of labor if you can forgive yourself. Sadly, Tess fell prey to deeply to despair. Although guiltless, she was not forlorn, but the spell, the deviltry of her past was to overwhelming. As the poets say " The broken lilly lies, the storm is overpast."

[pankybarbera91]

I love this book so much! but i've never seen either of the movies, and your video has convinced me to buy it :) It's beautiful! Great job!

[amybutterfly]
