When her father uproots the family to take work in the northern mill town of Milton, Margaret is shocked by the dirt, the noise and the gruffness of the people, but she reserves her highest contempt for the charismatic mill-owner John Thornton.Bonus Content:Audio Commentary: Commentary on Episodes 1 and 4 by producer Kate Bartlett, director Brian Percival and writer Sandy Welch Biographies: Cast bios Interviews: Specially recorded interview with Richard Armitage Review: A love story set during the industrial revolution - Note: spoilers ahead. This is one of my favorite movies. It is based on Elizabeth Gaskell's book of the same name, abd stays (relatively) true to the 1850s book. It follows Margaret Hale, a genteel young woman raised in the South, as she adapts to life in a cold, polluted mill town of the industrial north (Manchester, renamed to Milton). Margaret has strong disilke at first sight to a mill owner, who vecomes her fathers pupil. The two are diametrically opposed in their points of view about all major aspects of life. However, both soften their views and fall in love over time. There are some changes compared to the novel. First, the screenwriters needed a reason for Margaret's dislike of the mill owner, John Thorton, which would resonate with contemporary viewers. In the novel her reason for dislike is her own cladsism and snobbery. He is not "from money" or from a genteel but impoverished family like herself. He us "in trade", that is he has earned his money through business, not inherited it. In the 1850s people who made their own fortune were looked down upon by the upper classes. That's funny, because today, most of us admire those who have earned their way. In the film, Margaret's initial dislike of John is because he beats a millworker who us smoking in the mill, and who is putting the mill in grave danger of fire. Margaret is shocked and appalled at John's behavior. The other way the adaptation differs from the book is that the adaptation has been sanitized of almost all references to religion, or God. Elizabeth Gaskell was the daughter of a unitarian minister, and thought that any worship of God was a good thing. Several characters in the book bring up religious themes. Not so for the adaptatiom. The father is a former minister of Church of England, but the adaptation doesn't really get into the doubts about church doctrine that cause him to leave his position and uproot his family. Nor does the adaptation discuss the ruminations of Margaret's dying friend on heaven. I guess the screenwriters thought that would make a contemporary audience uncomfortable. Nonetheless the adaptation is lovely and is one of my three favorite historical dramas. I highly recommend it. Review: Fantastic Series - Fantastic series. I enjoyed every episode and I’m very happy with this DVD collection ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B012EOHIFE | | Actors | Various | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,070 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #482 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,582) | | Item model number | 35226293 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | DVD, NTSC | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 3.2 ounces | | Release date | March 1, 2016 | | Run time | 3 hours and 53 minutes | | Studio | BBC Studios | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Various - **Format:** DVD, NTSC - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 2 ## Images ![North and South (DVD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kYeBuVYcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A love story set during the industrial revolution *by A***R on December 16, 2023* Note: spoilers ahead.
