Far from the Madding Crowd

Michael Sheen in a suit and vest... Michael Sheen singing... Michael Sheen on the verge of tears... Michael Sheen asking for her hand in marriage... Micheal Sheen saying she would protect her... Michael Sheen, the man that you are... On a real note, I actually, surprisingly, enjoyed this movie outside of Michael Sheen, who, admitted, I chose to watch it for in the first place. I liked Bathsheba overall, although at some points I did find myself being annoyed by the decisions she makes and not really understanding them but I would blame that more on the fact that I haven't read the book, not planning on it either, and apparently some context was lost between the book and the film. Otherwise, the film was most enjoyable, even though I burned with rage towards Frank and was glad when he was shot honestly, although I was extremely shocked when William pulled and fired a gun on him with no question asked but he was manhandling his own wife so deserved. Now, if you couldn't tell from the start of this review, which would be surprising, I would have obviously chosen Mr. Boldwood if like... same-sex marriage was allowed back then because, oh my god, that "middle-aged man" is the finest I've ever seen.
