Still very excited~

It has been ten years since I saw the hardcover English version of bronzing fine lines at my cousin's house in the second year of junior high school. During the period, I have watched it countless times and recommended it to several people, but very few people really liked it as much as myself. At least in love fiction, this is an absolute masterpiece.
I thought there was a movie version of Thorn birds a long time ago, but I was extremely disappointed with Ralph after seeing the stills. How can Richard Chamberlain's big long cake face compare with the delicate and ecstatic sketches in the text. Recently, I was finally itching to see what happened.
Looking at Richard Chamberlain again, it's really interesting that he can't think of anyone who can replace him. If Rachel Ward is not a little sweet, she has the shadow of an older generation of Hollywood actresses, but when you think about it, she looks like Maggie, cute and pitiful. Favorite is Fei. Ah if I had a daughter, the name would be noble Fiona. I figured it out.
After all, miniseries pay attention to the simplicity and completeness of visual effects and stories, and there are many adaptations and deletions. For example, the growth and death of Little Howl, Ralph's painful contrast after Dane's death from polite shirk to knowing the truth. For some of the emotional scenes between the two protagonists that should have been subtle, most of them turned into dry wood and fire. In terms of casting, I secretly thought that Zhu Siting was surly enough and lacked aura. The looks of Dane and Ralph are still a little different, so it can't be called a more perfect version of him...
Anyway, it's still very good. Ralph's black coat, Maggie's forever Ash Rose, no matter how faithful you are to the original, mini can still get a glimpse of the legend of Drogheda. Finally, I want to say that people who switch from TV series to originals and people who switch from originals to TV series will definitely have different evaluations. So I bought the original English version and continued to read it, looking forward to new feelings.

The Thorn Birds quotes

  • Dane O'Neill: Mom, is this you? Oh, you were beautiful.

    Meggie Cleary: Were? Oh the cruelty of youth.

    Fiona 'Fee' Cleary: It was a lovely dress. Blue wasn't it?

    Meggie Cleary: No, Mum, yours was blue.

    Ralph de Bricassart: Meggie's dress was rose. "Ashes of Roses", it was called. And in it, she was the most beautiful thing any of us had ever seen.

  • Ralph de Bricassart: How will we live without him?

    Meggie Cleary: We will. Your God gathers in the good ones... and leaves the living to those of us whom fail. Your greedy God! There *is* no peace with him!
