Far and Away

While watching this movie you get the sense of what Irish life was like during the late 1800's. with the tenants and landlords who ruled the lands. The first part lets you see the living conditions that the the Irish lived. There is also a sense of what the landlord dealt with. During the second half you see the move made to America and how life was lived through those times. All may not be accurate but it gives the sense of what it was like. While many believe the streets were paved with gold this may not have been true for many. The acting was OK not great while these actors were still making there marks in the industry they were the stars at the time. This was good enough to sit with the family on a movie night and an interesting look of what was one was and how the American scenery changed throughout that time. with the help of other cultures.
