Recording of Jude the Obscure, by Thomas Hardy.Jude the Obscure is the last of Thomas Hardy's novels, begun as a magazine serial and first published in book form in 1895. Its hero Jude Fawley is a lower-class young man who dreams of becoming a scholar. The two other main characters are his earthy wife, Arabella, and his intellectual cousin, Sue. Themes include class, scholarship, religion, marriage, and the modernization of thought and society.

Far from the Madding Crowd, Tess of the Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure are my favorites by Hardy. Far from the Madding Crowd is the one that comes closest to a happy ending. Along with 'naturalism' or realism, and a grimness(well at least in Jude) sympathy also stand out in Hardy's novelsJude is one who suffers from what we may be label today as morbid scrupulosity or ocd or whatever.maybe i am totally off. It seems to about, in part, one of those of us, who take one step forward and get knocked 10 steps backwards And what is reflexive in so many, perhaps the majority of homo sapiens, is to exploit those with that chronic, over active conscience, that morbid constant doubt which leaves some of us so exhausted and vulnerable. The majority of 'persons', so it seems, go as so far as to play on that doubt and say we are bad, even though we are more ethical than that 'other directed' string pulling majority of cookie cutter 'well adjusted'. One thing to say, imho, Jude is one of those 'poor' fellows or females who are perpetually getting 'screwed' over by others and circumstances that we become wretched or even to the point of becoming 'wicked' and worse yet taking the unhappy road of life out of morbid self abnigation for 'morality's' sake.sigh poor Jude and many of us.have not finished book yet.
Painful read if you are depressed. It does not have its periods of bliss as in lets say the tragic Tess of the D'urbivilles. Of course i did not finish that either, so i don't know but i am told it ends tragically for the good and thus too easily exploited Tess.

A ‘Must See’ Film Experience! If it were possible to go into the mind and film the imagination, if one could actually get a glimpse of a creative spark and present it as a movie, the end result would look something like “Across the Universe.” Here is a film so vibrant, colorful, and imaginative that it practically flies off the screen.Across the Universe, from director Julie Taymor, is a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960s, a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America, he is swept up by the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation. Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York’s Greenwich Village. As the body count in Vietnam rises, political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad.1080P BLURAY X264 DTS 5.1 VERSION720P BRRIP AC3 5.1 VERSIONDVDRIP VERSION.
