They made Boldwood more likable in this adaptation. In the novel, although he is essentially a good man at first, he goes through a mental degradation that makes his obsession with Bathsheba frightening; he tries to manipulate her emotionally several times when she is vulnerable and seems to treat her like a trophy that he needs to win. On the other hand, this adaptation got It right with Gabriel, his personality is very faithful to the book.
I still get the impression in this movie. Haven’t read the book or seen any other adaptations. I didn’t like his character. He was way to pushy. He took advantage of her when she was in need. Basically forcing her to marry him.
Yeah his character in the book was scary... possessive. Especially reading about how he had gifts wrapped up in his closet with “Mrs. Boldwood” tags on them...
Boldwood deserved so much better. The man was jilted, stayed away from meeting any other girl, and when he finally fell in love again he was rejected. TWICE. FOR TROY.
In the book he was much worse. He wanted to own Bathsheba, was obsessive, and he was 20 years older than her. Gabriel is the only good man in the book. He loved her for who she was.
These are the kind of emotional scenes that break my heart. Not the full-on screaming performance, but the don't-let-it-slip-how-broken-you-really-are moments when the actor's voice breaks.
Their performance and emotional deliver by both of them is just perfect especially Michael Sheen . I don't know most of american movies I see sometimes make people heartless without emotions like I rarely see such emotions in them portrayed this perfectly and evidently dunno may be I am wrong :(
great scene 🎬 Thanks for posting 🙏 ...thing about love is it's so broken n'self sacrificing ...n'still, the satisfaction one gets from it, whether it's between two lovers or many, or even none at all,... ...can be the most transcendent and spiritually moving things anyone can ever be a part of// In movies anyway... ha🎥
Brilliant brilliant acting from Sheen, so poignant, and dare I say so much deeper and more moving than Peter Finch in the 1968 version. Sheen just makes you feel his agony.
Closest thing to a villain in the film is the third love interest, Sergeant Troy. But he too is far too human and in some ways redeemable to be an unambiguous villain.
What Boldwood didn't realise was that Gabriel was feeling just as hurt as he was himself. Remarkable acting
I think Boldwood did know. "We understand each other."

Was this scene in the book?
@@user-ze3nt1kb5v Yes! In the chapter 38: Rain - One solitary meets another.
@@evelinmenezes9313 thank you I'm currently on chapter 35😅

I think we've all felt like Mr. Boldwood at some point in our lives.
Brilliant acting..Michael Sheen is amazing in this scene. So heartbreaking 💔 😢 and Matthias as Gabriel is a treat to watch.
What a handsome man. Love Michael Sheen here. He was so touching.
I liked Boldwood, he was a good guy.
Uhhh, yeah until he snapped!🤪
@@rosebookfan7677 He was defending Bathsheba!
@@JosephDutra for the sake of claiming her as his own! Troy’s a creep, yeah, but Boldwood is just as possessive of Bathsheba as Troy was.
In the book he was much worse. He wanted to own Bathsheba, was obsessive, and he was 20 years older than her. Gabriel is the only good man in the book. He loved her for who she was.
Gosh...mah heart. Both of them are so good in this scene
I'll give you anything, Boldwood. Here's my heart.

Micheal Sheen is so good in this scene
Michael Sheen make me cry 😢👏
both are good men, what I don't understand is why she chose that mustache guy/soldier over them.
For lust and sex..Gabriel won in the end. He was loyal and steadfast and she realized that she really loved him.

Often felt this way myself to tell the truth. I’m not sure if it’s better acting or the British just being more open and authentic
Poor Boldwood... :(
Poor Gabriel too :(
one of the best scene in the movie.
God, this is a beautiful scene.
Mr. Boldwood was such a gentleman, we need to protect him.
Poor guy - we've all been there (great acting)
We have, and yes amazing acting
Don't cry my angel 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Michael Sheen - what skill! Amazing.
This is one of my favorite novels and this is a wonderful adaptation. One of the reasons I enjoy this work is I identify with Mr. Boldwood.
Both of them gentlemen.
What a beautiful scene
Love this 😢
great scene 🎬
Thanks for posting 🙏

In movies anyway... ha🎥
Great scene😭❤️
This hits too close to home.😪
Your heart will heal. Time heals. Take care.

Damn mr. Boldwood, I know how you feel
This is exactly how I felt about my love, what a disaster
I haven't read the book and i haven't watched the movie yet; I had a feeling that Mr. Boldwood is the villian in the story but I feel so sorry for him
He s not a villain... he's a wonderfully lonely romantic.

Bathsheba is the villain.
@@rosea2350kind of but not evil, just she doesn’t know what she truly wants.
I was so sad for him. She hurt him, on purpose, just because he ignored her. 😞
❤️
😢😥😓❤️📖
when did this happen in the book? Which chapter
Chapter 38: Rain - One solitary meets another.
Bathsheba was awful and Gabriel deserved better.
Awful adaptation, with the notable exception of Michael Sheen as Boldwood.
My favourite will always be the Julie Christie one but I thought this version was shot beautifully. Wonderful music too and Michael Sheen was A+.
very frankly speaking,, for a long time, I have not watched such a stupid film,.. I have lost for almost two hours from my life :-(((
Michael sheen is in it it can’t be that bad
