Customer Reviews of Daniel Deronda
Wonderful portrayal of George Eliot's novel I finished reading Daniel Deronda last weekend, so I would be prepared to compare it to Masterpiece Theatre's movie version. I love the book, despite it being about 80% prose and 724 pages long! The movie is very accurate to the book, the characters perfectly cast, the scenery, costumes and music giving it the lush feel of a Merchant-Ivory film. What mostly catches one's attention are the lines, being taken straight out of the novel, making it such a wonderful portrayal of George Eliot's last novel. My only regret is that I wish it were longer, both the book and the movie, because you want to know more about these intriguing characters and the lives they live after the story! Another fantastic job by BBC! Now...if only they would put Felix Holt out in movie version! Enjoy!
Extraordinary Story, Rich Drama, Great Acting!
The story is about searching, searching for true identity, searching for love, and searching for destiny.
Charming and sensitive young man Daniel Deronda, who was the adopted son of an aristocratic Englishman, was at the threshold of a new life period when he met the beautiful but self-centered Gwendolen Harleth, and saved the life of a tender and angel-voiced Jewish girl, Mirah. In helping Mirah to find her families, Daniel walked into the Jewish society, astounded and, almost immediately, attached. The story moves in and out of the drama around young beauty Gwendolen gambling her life and Daniel searching for his true life. When the conventional Victorian life and the Jewish living at the margins of the society are combined and contrasted, with exquisite craft, it adds great intensity and range to the drama. The great camera work has captured the grandeurs and subtleties with equal sensitivity. The music, in which the gloriousness of the opera singing echoes the sereneness of the Jewish chanting, is enchantingly beautiful.
Hugh Dancy has lived, rather than just acted, Daniel Deronda. He is a fine actor with a deep understanding of the character. He has such vivid expressions in his eyes that you can see Daniel's complexity and perplexity simply through his eyes. Gwendolen would be less truthful if not for the certain level of vulnerability and sincerity in Romala Garai's portrayal, which also has somewhat smoothes out character's vulgarity. Mirah, although not a very big role, has an essential importance to the entire story. Jodhi May's heartfelt and natural acting is exactly what we would expect from this loving character.
This BBC miniseries is brilliant in every aspect. It's an exceptional work with a finely balanced artifice and raw drama.
Absolutely beautiful film
Extraordinary acting and captivating story! The character Daniel Deronda possesses that blend of sensitivity and ability to see right into others' souls that is so rare. Hopefully I'm not stepping over the boundary in saying that every girl dreams of a DD coming into her life. I know I do!
