Eventually, I'm planning to do a review of both the book and the '04 version so I'll expand on some of the differences then :-), but I think the two films are different enough from each other that you can like both in different ways. I would say that the '04 actually comes much closer to the tone of the book-in terms of what is and is not said-but (among other things) this one is very interesting in its different take on the story and as a refresher in seeing again just how different Thornton and Margaret were from each other. :-)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-79820579606122192032014-03-24T07:21:11.712-07:002014-03-24T07:21:11.712-07:00I've not seen this version!

As you might be able to tell, they're some of my all-time favorites. :-) <br /><br />Eventually I'd like to do a review of the '04 here and several posts on different aspects of the story itself. It's one that really invites you to think...sticking with you. I don't know if you've read it, but it's written in a different style from Gaskell's other work so it's a little different reading experience. There are a lot of underlying tensions and moments where Gaskell highlights how words simply don't go far enough sometimes. They bring that aspect out more in the '04, so before watching that one particularly it would probably be helpful to have read the book. (Though you might want to read it before watching either adaptation.)<br /><br />Anyhow, I'm sure there will be more appearing here on the N&S theme in the future. ;-) And if you're able to watch them I'd love to hear what you think!!! :-)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-14394636504525159892013-12-12T07:48:07.017-08:002013-12-12T07:48:07.017-08:00You know... shockingly North and South is one of t...You know... shockingly North and South is one of those period dramas that I always mean to see, but have never seen. I've seen every possible Jane Austen book to movie adaptation (including some outright horrible ones that left me aghast!), love Wives and Daughters, and so on, but this one.... for some odd reason, has never been watched. Either adaptation, actually. This one or the '04. I need to remedy this, at some point, it sounds like. I keep having it recommended, and I keep putting it off. :PKaitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384882548814012985noreply@blogger.com
