DVD Reviews of North & South

DVD Review: Be still my beating heart.....
Summary: 5 Stars

This one actually gets better the more you watch it. Every 6 months or so, I pop this one in and swoon. The story is amazing, a bit dark, but not the worse for it. And there are a few scenes which really stick with you. "Look back, look back at me..." Richard Armitage's voice alone is reason to purchase. Hours of enjoyment for those times when you want to escape.

DVD Review: Fantastic...a must in your collection!
Summary: 5 Stars

Buy it, buy it, buy it. I can only praise this video, it's a fantastic adaptation of the book. I read the book first, which I believe is a must to enhance the enjoyment of this movie. Great novel. Richard Armitage was PERFECT as Mr. Thorton. You won't regret it...money well spent.

DVD Review: If you love Pride and Prejudice, you'll love North & South
Summary: 5 Stars

North and South (BBC version) is a great story with a wonderful ending. I originally watched it on NetFlix but bought a copy because I will be watching it from time to time. I also bought the book.

DVD Review: MY FAVORITE PERIOD MOVIE OF ALL TIMES
Summary: 5 Stars

North and south was in my wish list for 2 or 3 years. one day I decided to order it. I never thought that another movie could replace P&P but North and south did! it's like that perfect recipe where nothing else is needed and nothing can be taken away. It is truly a masterpiece.and I own a good sized collection of period drama. I have lost count of how many times Ive seen it.I cannot imagine anyone else playing the leads as Armitage and Denby-ashe have. Amazing.

DVD Review: One of the best period dramas by BBC
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved everything about it and the actors are brilliant. The story is simple but very emotional and that's what kept watching. I have everything wonderful to say about it, that's why I would recommend this to everyone who loves BBC period dramas.

Description of North & South

As the daughter of a middle-class parson Margaret Hale has enjoyed a privileged upbringing in rural southern England. When her father uproots the family to take work in the northern mill town of Milton Margaret is shocked by the dirt the noise and the gruffness of the people but she reserves her highest contempt for the charismatic mill-owner John Thornton.Running Time: 233 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA UPC:?794051245328

North & South is a splendid, four-hour adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's 19th century novel about an unlikely, and somewhat star-crossed, love between a middle-class young woman from England's cultivated south and an intemperate if misunderstood industrialist in a hardscrabble, northern city. Daniela Denby-Ashe plays Margaret Hale, forthright and strong-willed daughter of a former vicar (Tim Pigott-Smith) who relocates his family from a pastoral village outside London to unforgiving, largely illiterate Milton, a factory town where John Thornton (Richard Armitage) and his mother (Sinead Cusack), survivors of poverty, rule their cotton mill with an iron hand. Thornton befriends Margaret's father but incurs her wrath for his severity with his workers. What she doesn't notice is Thornton's core sense of responsibility for his employees' welfare. On the other hand, he misinterprets some of Margaret's own actions and intentions. Equally stubborn, the two drag out their obvious attraction over many painful months and events.

North & South's two leads are both very good, though Armitage's brooding, penetrating performance may very well be considered a classic one day. There are other wonders in the cast: Cusack and Pigott-Smith are superb, and Brendan Coyle is memorable as a firebrand union organizer who ultimately becomes an ally to a softening Thornton. The miniseries script by Sandy Welch is a persuasive mix of historical context and character study. Brian Percival's direction is full of moments that linger in the imagination, such as the winter-dream look of a busy cotton mill, with thousands of snowy fibers floating in the air. --Tom Keogh
