Hulu - Jude - Watch the full feature film now.

Thank you Sadiqa, It not too often you find someone in these forums with some insight. I also thought it was a marvelous portrayal of the harsh realities of life. Too many movies try to portray some fantastical version of life and that is what the vast majority of the people in this forum are looking for. Unfortunately life can be very cruel yet we as people survive it, sometimes making it even harder through our own torment. It would have been wonderful if Sue and Jude could have picked up the pieces and started anew. However, Sue’s mourning became too great and both their lives paid dearly.

On a lighter note, I saw The Doctor did you?!?
“Doctor Who” of course, but he only made a short appearance and then he must have jumped into his Tardis and flown away… he must have had his calculations wrong or else me might have been able to prevent this whole bloody disaster!
Maybe that’s what you were implying when you said “ahead of their time”… me thinks you know the workings of The Doctor!
;-)

I really don't understand why people make movies like this....

That is the whole point of the novel and the move Jude the Obscure or Jude.
Jude is a sensitive, romantic sort who believes that he can achieve all his
life's dreams through hard work(attending University) or desire(being married to sue).

The reality is he lives in a world where class and convention rule and any attempt to overcome them are brutally crushed. The reality is, his true love doesn't nearly flaunt convention as boldly as she imagines she does, and when it comes down to it, her mind is very parochial, never mind that she is of a changeable nature to start.

All that this means for Jude is that his dearest hopes and dreams of upward mobility and personal happiness are mercilessly denied by an uncaring world. This is symbolized most tragically by what happens to his children in the film.

Truly, some souls were not meant for this world. Or at least in Jude's case, some souls are tragically ahead of their time.

Yes, the acting was fine, and I thought the mannerisms were very well set in the time period. But through it all, there never seemed to be any point to it.

I'm thinking there was a lot of story in the book that never made it to the screen. Makes me want to read the book, now.

Well the positive side of this movie that the acting is very well done. However, I'm just not sure if I can draw anything from this movie, maybe besides getting married to someone you don't love is a bad idea. And that having sexual relations with your cousin is even a dumber idea. But, what gets me the most is what point of view is this film portraying? Living with no moral ideals, just letting life do what it will, even if that leads you to going off and sleeping with cousins...clearly did not work out. One thing I will take from this movie is if your going to get married make sure its the right one and don't just up and run off and destroy an entire family, or in this case two. That poor kid had no clue...mommy ran away from dad, mommy gives son back to dad to live with his new mother who also happens to be his aunt. Don't watch this movie, its a waste of space.

Another great movie based on a Thomas Hardy masterpiece! Life is already absurd, but human folly makes it even more so. When will humans finally learn that all rules are meant to be broken.
