Thank you for the review, I'm from Poland and it's interesting how people from other countries receive this film. Reymont wrote the book in 1904. In literature, peasants have often been portrayed as passive and "cattle-like," or their life close to nature was idealized. So Reymont, who himself had a peasant background and spent part of his life in the countryside, wanted to show the true character of the villagers. Everyone is dependent on other people, subjected to tradition, but also has their own desires. Land is not only a material good. It is sacred, given from God, gives life and a sense of identity. "Love comes and goes, but the land stays." "You are like this sacred land to me, you have awakened me to life." People who owned it and managed it well were respected and had a higher position over others (like Boryna/Father). People who lost their land had to beg and live by the grace of other people. I interpret the ending this way: At the end Antek gives up his own desires by submitting to the will of the group. He returns to his father's land and takes his place as a community leader. Jagna was the loneliest person in the village despite the attention she received. She could not reconcile her own desires with the conditions of village life, where land and work are the most important things. She was too sensitive, detached from hard reality, and passively followed her feelings. She was too different from the rest for which she she exiled. Thanks again for your review and promotion of the film :)

Wow! Thank you so much for your kind comments and meaningful insights! I didn't know anything about this book or story before I saw the movie. Visually, I thought the movie was stunning! It also does a very good job painting a realistic picture of difficult peasant life. Even though we live in a modern world now, some of those traditions and cultural tropes still exist. Is there a Polish film you would like to recommend to Americans to watch? Thank you!

Btw the ending in the book is different, in the movie we see less than it is in the book. After her exile, Jagna did not die, but settled in Podlesie near Lipce at her brother Szymek's house, but she no longer had contact with anyone. At the end we learn that she lies in bed all day and has already lost her mind. So it’s better ending than in the movie, but it’s still not happy ending.

I thought the look on her face at the very end was one of determination, which meant she wasn't going to give up, but create a new life for herself. The book ending sounds super sad!

I think you might've mistaken "At eternity gate" with "Loving Vincent". Loving ZVincent and Peasants are actually made by the same people very good review though!

@MovieReviewMom 3 ай бұрын

Yes! They're both about Vincent Van Gogh. "Loving Vincent" is the world's first fully painted feature film. That's the one I meant! "At Eternity's Gate" is simply a well-acted movie about Vincent Van Gogh. Thanks for the correction! I watch so many movies that it's hard for me to keep them all straight! Thanks for your comments!

The film is based on a 19th century novel, Poland joined the 21st century a while ago. Anyone who's seen A Short Film About Killing has seen at least one of tse actors before. Perhaps rather than needing to join Hollywood a greater appreciation of non American films is required. Visually, the film is magnificent & is based on Polish art of time, with some 80+ famous paintings recreated in the film. Overall, the film includes nothing which isn't in the book, but at 1000 pages long the film has to tell a more concise tale. The ambiguity of the ending is by design as is the implied defience. Not having a clear redemptive ark is a positive because not everything has to have a nice clear cut conclusion.

It's interesting how You as an American woman see it. Im Polish and I can say, that even today in very rural villages we have echoes of that thinking when people, especially older people say that it's not as important for woman to be independent as it is to get rich husband. But this thinking is actively dying. This film is often shown to highschoolers. Peasants were for a long time on their obligatory reading list. That's how they had a glimpse of how the reality was for people, especially for woman, decades ago.

@@bossratgames The movie shows so much sexuality, which is inappropriate for 3rd graders. Is the book like that too?

@Trutka91 4 ай бұрын

@@MovieReviewMom books also have a lot of strong moments, but when I was in high school only the first part ("Fall") was obligatory reading. This part has kinda less unapropriate things. Btw, it is obligatory for high schoolers, so, I don't remember exactly in wchich grade it is read, but high schools in Poland lasts three years, so there are people between around 16 and 19 years old. I guess they can manage this topic on theoretical level, especially when taking about historical practices.

You mentioned that there are still people living like this in certain parts of Europe. Please take into account that it was a portail of the early 20th century Poland, and I highly doubt there are any villages like this one anywhere in the post communist block. Peasents were forced to adapt into the industrial way of life under the communist rule and the villages were transformed into government-owned farms (they were called PGRs in Poland (PGR, Państwowe Gospodarstwo Rolne - Government-owned Farm).

Good to know! I've been to several villages like this in other countries recently in Europe. I don't mean that they brutalize women like in this movie, but just that they are small, farming towns. Do you live in Poland now? It's on my Bucket List to go there someday! Some of my husband's ancestors are Polish! Thanks for your comments!

Jest produktem swoich czasów i sytuacji. Była nauczona że jest wyjątkowa, ale nie nauczono jej odmawiać. Jej matka przedstawiała ją społeczeństwu jako największą nagrodę, więc ludzie atakowali. Czy Jagna mogła zrobić coś lepiej? Być bardziej powściągliwa i wierna? Jasne. Ale miała w tym temacie bardzo ograniczone umiejętności, a z drugiej strony wielkie pokusy.
