Moll Flanders [DVD]

I enjoyed this movie very much I think others would enjoy it too

there was a mix up and I got charged for 2 of these and received both bit if I return it I have to pay shipping to get it there and it would be like flushing money down the toilet. had a big order using the prime I paid for a year. I placed an order and the money was on my other card and the next day I came in to fix it because i got an email saying the order had been cancelled I went to put the right info so i clicked the email link and clicked buy again since they cancelled it and it was the only choice the link gave me was to buy again if i still wanted the item and 2 days after putting my credit card info on Amazon they took the original order and charged me again and mailed out double with out asking my permission. When I was told the ordered was cancelled I assumed it meant cancelled, but to Amazon it meant pay again and send both to make double the money. The items were for my grandchild and were mailed to his mother and i asked her to return he doubles but she couldn't afford it & once I saw how much to send back I'd be paying Amazon to take it back & keep my money. It was a big order, big enough to eat up my entire Social Security check I had very little food to eat i lived on crackers mostly until my Army VA check arrived on the 1st. I to this day will never understand why once they saw I repurchased the items did they take the 1st order out of cancellation without my knowledge or permission a few days later recharged me for it all and mailed the same items to my grandson he already had. Amazon caused me to get week an very ill due to the lack of money for food or money to pay bills. I got charged many I never could get Amazon to fix it& it scares me every time i buy from Amazon, I wish I could say I'd never shop here again but I am a home bound, wheelchair bound disabled Army Veteran and I have no help only people that I have left in my life take advantage of me and steal from me, I can't make them go away because they are all i have no matter they take advantage of me & i have no one else. My mom & son are all that cared about me but they both passed away how horrible it is unfortunate I am stuck this way, I can't even bath myself or cook or clean & i am at their mercy. Then when stuff comes along like this it makes it hurt more and more. I don't understand humanity. I join the Army serve my Country and besides the check i get each month from the VA and people nipping at my heals like dogs to take that money away too ,i lost my mom due to illness, my husband left me for a Soldiers wife that's half my age, he says he left due to wheelchair but I am not that stupid, he left for the younger woman & maybe part is due to being handicapped now. Because before I was injured that woman couldn't hold a candle to me. The woman I once was before i was injured besides being beautiful back then, I was smart independent and handled every thing but now that's gone all hats left is the dogs nipping at my heels for the little i have, all of them trying to take it all by lying, cheating me until there is nothing left. Amazon is just one of the many, and all I know to do is pray to GOD

Quick delivery of a really great film. Quality DVD!

I watched without expectations, I really just wanted to see how the movie unfolded. I was not disappointed in the least. The actors were amazing, the scenery, the costume designs, everything was very very well done. I loved how believable they made it. It was nothing crazy, no far-fetched fiction, just every day people trying to find their place and worth in the world. Just as we do today. It just hits so much harder because of all the adversaries people had to overcome back then. Moll's character is such a beautiful one. She went through so much in life yet she never let herself truly go "dark". She spirit, though was low at times, always shun through. Truly a wonderful movie. Robin Wright is amazing.

I knew I recognized Offenbach's Barcarolle , from 'The Tales of Hoffmann, written just prior to his death in 1880. I also knew Moll Flanders was not written in the 19th Century. Moll Flanders was written nearly 160 years prior that music. They couldn't find or license era-appropriate music? Or am I nit picking.Well, let's talk about the story, a total fantasy bearing no relation to the book. WHY must screenwriters use a name of a well-known book but change the plot?Per other reviewers, it's a good enough film. But with a different title. I always expect book adaptations to change the story a bit, not totally rewrite it. I'm being generous giving it three stars.I have nothing further to say. Other than it makes for good background noise while doing other things.

I would like to know if you have received the returned item for a refund since I could not use this formatted version; I did in fact order the proper version and am enjoying the movie very much so. It is so true to human behavior and to life itself. I really am enjoying it! Thank you.

I read the low reviews of the people who were expecting an adaptation of the book and did not get what they wanted and I guess I have to say if I was expecting it to be what they had wanted, I would have also been disappointed. But I did not read the book....I had no expectations and I simply loved the movie in it's own right. The actors were exceptional...the story a wonderful afternoon spent....and I have bought the dvd specifically so I can watch it whenever I want. I can't WAIT to gather a group of friends together to have a movie night! It was THAT good! Perhaps they should have sold it on the A-list actors alone and changed the name. But that is NO reason to give the movie such a low rating that people turn it down and not even give it a try. I have to put it right up in my top 5 favs of all time!

I loved the characters and effortless dialogue and that it wasn't true to the book. Every scene was eye candy - from the hay on the back of the carriage to feed the horse when necessary and the lighting in the artist's studio. Robin Wright was more beautiful in every scene, Stockard Channing, always a pleasure to watch, and best of all, yes Morgan Freeman could read me the telephone book and I would be fascinated. The ending was very satisfying.

This has got to be the worthiest version I’ve ever seen and so Americanised I totally forgot it was about an English Trollope of the corset age. Obviously the story had been radically changed to suit the directors vision which he clearly thought was best yet than the original story. It’s beautifully filmed if a little long with of course a Hollywood happy ending.

This is a Dutch version of the 1996 4-episode Granada TV series starring Alex Kingston and Daniel Craig, which makes it identical with (the English version titled) "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders", also available on Amazon. It is in English, with Dutch subtitles. I noted that this version has a (Dutch) 12 certificate, while the English version has a UK 18 certificate!

as descrobed very pleased with the DVD

Good film, but wouldn't watch again.

Good film
