I don't understand how more people haven't seen this film, it is long but it is truly great.
Jan Troell evokes the hardships and struggles of the emigrants, as well as their passionate but almost desperate yearning for a better life in America. 9 years 10 months ago -

Many movies tries to tell about life in the 19th century. This one gives a view into the 19th century mind and how they perceived the world. For me very few movie actually does this, and it's difficult for me to remember one that does it without really trying to be smart. And it isn't even the main part of the movie, but these small "i never taught about it that way" will ensure that this movie is one I'll never forget. That the cinematography and the acting is top class definitely helps as well. But most of all, this is a story well told. 4 years 5 months ago
