5.0 out of 5 stars The Thorn Birds, 9 Aug 2002

By	Shannon O'Brien (Long Island New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Thornbirds [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Thorn Birds is a must see to true romantics. If you love a tortured romance you'll love this film. From Colleen McCullough's best selling novel, the Thorn Birds is the story of a young priest, Father Ralph de Bricassart, (Richard Chamberlain) Who is torn between his ambition and the love of a woman. The Thorn Birds spands three generations. The raw Australian outback is the perfect backdrop for this timeless love story. Rachel Ward gives an outstanding performance, as Meggie Cleary, the object of Ralph's desires. Also not to be missed are the wonderful performances given by, Barbra Stanwyck, Christopher Plummer, Gene Simmons, and Brian Brown. A love so unatainable, forbidden, forever. The Thorn Birds.
This movie is an all time epic if there ever was one. The love story pulls you in and never lets you go. The Thorn Birds is one of my all time favorite films. Please give this remarkable film a chance to capture your heart, the way it's captured mine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!, 8 Feb 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Thorn Birds - Vol. 1 [1983] [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After greatly enjoying reading the book i decided to invest in the first video of the series. I bought it not realising that it was only a third of the book which was a shame, but all in all it made very enjoyable watching, if not a little dated! i would definately recommend this to anyone, and advise reading the book first! x

5.0 out of 5 stars A Film for all romantics, 24 Aug 2004

By	"jxm94" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Thorn Birds [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

Through several generations this film is still the best romatic, heart wrenching ever. I have watched this film all my life as my mother and grandmother love it. The woman who created this love story really understands how cruel life can be and i would love to meet her. Its about a little girl call Maggie, who meets a priest when her family move. From the moment she meet him till the day he died she was in love with him. She spent her whole life crying for a man she could never had, as he always choose god before her. But secretly he is also in love with her. She marries another man as means to try and forget about him. But he could never be the man she wants him to be so she could truely love him. Then she steals a part of him that god has no use for-he's son!! She never tells him that he has a son with her untill he tragically drowns.
I'm not going to say anymore as i don't want to spoil it. But if you really want a good crying session, buy this film. I promise you, you will want to watch it time and time again.
