Hey my British (and UK) Buddies, you all need to see the new version of Far From The Maddening Crowd. On the movie side, I posted some of my impressions of this movie. It is well-done, and it should be seen on the big screen. (And a lovely music score.)
Here I want to write about the visual feast of this movie. I have never seen such MAGNFICENT, GORGEOUS, varied scenery. The places where this movie was filmed are the loveliest I’ve ever seen in a movie. Yep, filmed in England. According to the IMDB, the film’s locations were as follows.
Claydon House, Middle Claydon, Buckinghamshire, England, UK
(William Boldwood's mansion)
Mapperton, Beaminster, Dorset, England, UK
(Bathsheba Everdene's farm)
Sherborne, Dorset, England, UK
(Casterbridge market)
West Bay, Dorset, England, UK
(coastline)
Eype, Dorset, England, UK
(Oak's sheep driven over the cliffs)
Durdle Door, Dorset, England, UK
(coastline)
Bicester, Oxfordshire, England, UK
Forde Abbey, Chard, Somerset, England, UK
(Corn Exchange)
The names are a bit strange to my ears. So have some of you been to these places? Impressions?
So Brit Buddies, band together and send me a round-trip first class ticket to England. I assume you’d chauffer me around to all of these places and pay for my 5 star lodging. I’ll buy my own food and treat you all to a drink now and then.
I am being serious about the exquisite landscapes. Amazing and breath-taking. See the movie.

Joan, how you have disappointed me.
I offered you a first-class tour of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, complete with visits to every corner hot dog stand in the City, and you turned me down.
Oh, me….

'Good to know this is a good flick.
I've been reluctant, since I remember the Stamp/Christie/Bates/Finch/Schlesinger version with the Rodney-Bennett score, and like to keep that one in memory. It's very beautiful too.
So I'll blame Joan if this one doesn't match up ...

Come on, Bill. Go see the movie based upon a Thomas Hardy novel. This will show that you are elite, posh, and classy.
had enough with that christie woman version. Couldnt help thinking she always loved herself a little too much and it came out in everything she did.
I may be wrong but she was always a bit too smug.

My oldest friends live in Buckinghamshire (in fact quite near Bicester), it is lovely around there. They live in a thatch house that's over three hundred old, it's kept them poor in the last thirty years, fixing & doing it up, but now they've retired & have bugger-all money, they're just letting it gently fall apart around them. My mother & sister now live in Dorset, & the coastline looks stunning, but...a lot of England looks stunning, Sussex, & that's before we go up t'north. So now you know where to come for your holidays
