As the title of the novel suggests, Bathsheba yearns for the object of desire is never three men, three different men can not do without the same hidden object, a farm far away from the hustle and bustle.

The farm is the best farm in a radius of several miles. In the movie, we see all kinds of pleasures on the farm. At the long table with strong rural atmosphere, the hostess and the hired workers have dinner together; on the farm, the hostess and the workers The cooperative labor; the joyous scene of the hostess and the shepherd washing the sheep's wool; the municipal exchange, the lively trading scene around the grain stall farmers; all this is the pleasure of the farm hostess, Bathsheba, who is unwilling to leave and unwilling to exchange. source. But the question is, how can the beautiful and independent heroine have such a constant connection with the suddenly-advented farm.

The relationship between the three men and the hostess is also inseparable from the farm. Gabrieal lost his farm and can only live in the hostess's farm. What he gained from the hostess was his loyalty to her farm and his management of the farm. Skills; officers and farms are incompatible. Although they began to win the love of the heroine with their wildness, they were uncomfortable with the farm and could not do proper farm work, which made them increasingly alienated; the neighbors were from nobles, and the modern-style house finally failed to accommodate the heroine. . There is also the question, isn't a woman trying to conquer a man? Why does this woman want to conquer the farm?

    Saw it yesterday on the plane back to DC from San Francisco. Well enough. Mainly, the soundtrack is good, and the male and female protagonists are quite eye-catching. The 19th century English countryside scenery is also enjoyable to watch. As for the plot itself, it's a little too dramatic for me. In particular, the heroine fell in love with and married that soldier, which is simply a model of self-inflicted sin. . .

    I don't understand why Winterberg had to adapt a classic of English literature. The pictures and music are beautiful, and even Mulligan is also beautiful. I still found a sense of substitution inexplicably... [Look again, I like it better, I still love Winterberg]
