Very interesting and thought provoking movie. I always glance at the comments first, so I knew something shocking was coming, but I was still shocked. I don't think in real life an 8 year old could do something like this though. It's not very realistic no matter what the time period is.
I see other people have taken the religious view and comment. I see a man who has gone through life wanting and touching things but at the same time destroying what he touches. Kind of the opposite of the Midas touch. Some people are really like that, they are never happy because nothing goes right or for long periods of time. It seems that some people are born to live in dispair and they bring others into their world. This is one story of those kind of people; Jude Flim is one of those people in dispair, not really happy or content.
what a horrid, depressing movie. all the way through i wanted to shake that woman to realize her pride was putting the kids in danger. when the little boy heard there werre "too many" and they sent him to sleep, i saw this ending coming without the killing of the other kids though. too bad they didn't. only a story i guess.
Enjoyed the movie, but it was such a pity that it didn't go on to track the last few months of poor Jude's life. The clue was there in his cough towards the end. It missed out how both Sue and he returned to their 'real' spouses and how finally Jude gave up on life, yet before he left he took one last visit to her. Sue here in the movie seems altogether colder and more indifferent than she was in the novel.
I didn't find anything that had to do with GOD here or Christianity for that fact, except a woman trying to grasp at any guilty reasoning for why her children died. She told the child they were too many & then told Jude she couldn't live with him because his child killed her children & she is being punished. Sue finally gives in to societies morale pressure of the day. GOD or Christianity had nothing to do with it, when you consider that England in the period of 1886 had more women working as prostitutes to take care of their children, as the life expectancy for a man was between 36-42 & women couldn't work except in servitude to the wealthy, which were few. Society carries out the devil's work.
It's a Dr Who fest! Well, not really, but it does feature Christopher Eccleston all the way through and one very brief appearance of David Tennant.
I quite fancy this one ! Engaging story ,very well acted & Kate Winslet is easy on the eyes , as usual . ( :
Well this is depressing

Next to "Galaxina," the worst movie I ever sat through. It simply had no redeeming quality whatsoever. Worse than bad.
Not good to see the use of animals like that little pig. I hope that more laws will regulate this. It's a shame!
pls upload INCENDIARY michell williams thanks
Is it just me or fondant covered cakes were popular back then?

this movie or whatever you call it is just nuts. ridiculous absurd. the people who produced this should be jailed for life.

Amazing! Always loved Hardy. I look forward to rereading the novel.
