Let No Man Steal Your Thyme - Carey Mulligan, Michael Sheen

[@cassandra6199]

You know a good actor by how his face can say so much and he's not even moving his lips.

[@andrea-floralingua]

I think this is such a brilliant scene! Among the many points of brilliance is the subtle class distinction between Boldwood and Gabriel Oak. Boldwood, a man of Bathsheba's own station, is the only person in the room secure enough to interject into her solo like that. She smiles and welcomes it, of course, which helps, but still, in essence it is an interruption. I can't imagine Gabriel doing the same thing - partly because he is humble and wants to see her shine rather than himself, but also because according to the class structure he doesn't have the "right" to speak up/sing up. And I so love their expressions here. Gabriel looks at her with a deep sense of appreciation and affection; Boldwood looks at her as if hypnotized. I liked Boldwood in the book and in this particular version, but I don't think he understood Bathesheba as a person that well. Dazzled by her beauty and charm, he didn't see her flaws (or personal strengths, like determination, etc.) like Gabriel did. Anyway, all around, such a cool scene!

Wonderful character analysis 😊❤ I loved it.

[@andrea-floralingua]

@@sandavijithminirathnayake7033 Thank you!

[@andrea-floralingua]

@Amy Lougheed Thank you for your comment! I agree with you about Boldwood eventually recognizing that Gabriel is a rival. Even though there were some things I wasn't crazy about in regard to this movie (Bathsheba's costumes seemed anachronistic at times and there were nuances in the book that I thought could have been indicated better) the casting is definitely a highlight. And anyway, one can enjoy both the book and the movie and get an even better picture of the story as a whole, considering that some aspects work better on film and some work better on paper (for example, I'm not sure film can capture the kind of surreal quality of the fire Gabriel fights at the beginning of the book, but you'd never get this wonderful meld of music and acting from words on a page!).

[@cpegg5840]

I like how there was never animosity between Oak and Boldwood...jealousy on Oak's part of course but he was gentlemanly about that. Boldwood definitely seemed to respect Oak. Just goes to show rivals don't necessarily despise each other.

[@mitchyoung9484]

That's the white man's way.

[@LeMonsieurBanane]

C Pegg is it jealousy? Or a reminder of how she is out of his league - and a match more fit for a gentleman?

[@mensahcarrelle]

Uh...Oak is clearly jealous . Maybe not "OJ Simpson jealous" , but he's clearly jealous enough.

[@linettelow]

Well said :) Blessed Easter.

[@mariapopovici4467]

@TK Wallace What an excellent analysis of Boldwood and Oak you give. Yes, even though Boldwood was not meant for Bathsheba, he has a refinement of character, an important sense of self that Oak does not have. Oak is not a doormat of course, an honorable and self made man in his own right, but it is not in Oak's character to rise to a position of public prominence like it seems natural for Boldwood to do. Boldwood was made to be the face of respected status whereas Oak does not seek that type of notoriety. He is content to rise and accomplish what it is in his nature to accomplish -- to work with his hands, to honor the commitment to himself and others, but he is not one to want to openly boast about them. That is Boldwood. And that' s not a negative judgment on Boldwood. It's simply right for a man who is Boldwood.

[@stephendouglas4870]

@@laurids2007 It's a very old traditional song, passed down the generations, and so no one probably knows who wrote it. A number of folk artists have covered it, e.g., Scottish folk singer, Shelagh McDonald (find on KZbin).

Although musical style is very simple, I'm hardly trying to find a pdf scores with the "original version" but it's very very difficult. All the researches lead to "Far from the madding crowd" version.. As music student, I'd like to find the original... Or I'll write a personal version 😅

Am I the only one who’d chose mr boldwood ina heartbeat?

[@lauriebriggs9705]

She was 18 and he was old enough to be her father. Boldwood really did not understand Bathsheba. He wanted to lavish jewels and clothing and a big house on her but she really didn’t want that. In the novel Boldwood was jealous and obsessive. Gabriel, however, knew her and her faults and still loved her. He stood by her even after she rejected him and never harassed her or asked her again. He accepted her answer which is so respectful. He worked beside her and taught her what she needed to know and supported her dream of running a successful farm. He tried to warn her of how her actions hurt Boldwood and also not to trust the soldier. When she finally reached her goal he was willing to step aside and then go forward with his own life. She is lucky that Gabriel accepted her as a wife after all she put him through. Gabriel Oak is an honorable and loyal character like Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird.
