Negative Positive
Title: Great Adaptation
Review: I've seen this movie 3 times on A&E, and I loved it. The Mayor of Casterbidge is about a man named Michael Henchard, who sold his wife and baby daughter to a sailor at a county fair after he had had too much to drink. He regets this the next morning, and swears not to "drink anything stronger than tea" for the next 21 years. 19 years later his wife and her daughter come searching for him, and find him the mayor and respected citizen of a town called Casterbridge. The rest of the story is filled with complications, secrets and everything in between. This is the story of the rise and fall of Michael Henchard. All of the main charactures are wonderfully played by Ciaran Hinds, Jodhi May, James Purefoy, Juliet Aubry and Polly Walker, the supporting cast is great as well. The script stays close to the book, the story is beautiful and bitter sweet, and the sceenery is breathtaking. All in all this is a great movie, and I highly recomend it!
