This film is a wonderful tale of hope, failure and fulfillment. Unpopular with critics and snobs, it captures history in a rare and rewarding way, that recognizes the trials and travails of the Irish. The Gaels like so many other displaced ethnicities realized their full potential in America.
Then-husband and wife Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman headlined this 1992 Ron Howard release. Joseph Donnelly (Cruise) is the headstrong brother of a family of tenant farmers, who finds himself on the boat to America after he originally went to his landlord's mannor to avenge his father's death.
Donnelly does not initially realize that Mr. Christie is actually a likeable (if absent minded) fellow, and it is his family associates who are responsible for the murder and the home burning. These Protestants look down upon the Catholic Donnellys (among many other families) as being beneath them.
While there, he meets their daughter Shannon, a firebrand self-described modern woman who would do ANYTHING to avoid ending up like her mother's stuffy Victorian friends. From ridding fast to wearing free clothes, Shannon wants much more out of life than what she originally had. When she teams up with Joseph, she gets it.
After her spoons are convieniently stolen upon arrival in America, Shannon comes to the painful realization that she does not know what to do. She is now in the position of having to learn survival skills from Joseph (who poses as her brother) if she is going to make it out to Oklahoma.
Sure, improbabilities abound in this film (Cruise hangs out with brothel girls in an age before the ready availability of condoms, but never gets venereal disease, Shannon and her family are magically reunited in Boston even after she wanted nothing to do with them and did not appear to know their new address, and Mr. Christie himself has no problems pulling his own weight in America while the rest of his family had not known how to do these things).
Cruise and Kidman's off-screen romance is by now a distant memory, but this film will keep your own passions burning brightly.
But watching Far and Away, you forget all about that and get pulled completely into the film. This is a beautiful story, a wonderful film romance, and a great epic adventure. It's the absolute definition of a classic movie.
描述19世纪末爱尔兰佃农青年约瑟夫为报父仇向地主挑战，虽然徒劳无功，却因此认识地主的女儿夏兰。娇生惯养的夏兰一心向往新大陆，乃邀希望拥有自己土地的约瑟夫远渡重洋到美国，经历重重波折之后终于在广阔的西部新天地建立了家园。这部如史诗般的西部移民电影，与人梦境成真的震撼美感，摄影与配乐均杰出，一场为土地奔驰的戏就此展开。
