An Exercise In Nonsense

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Tom Jones2 And A Half Out Of 5Tom Jones is a plot driven feature of a tale that may walk on familiar structure but is still intriguing enough to invest in it. The characters in here maybe edgy, but the edge is blunt and safe, for the offered environment is sweet despite of possessing plenty of spicy ingredients, it just never kicks in.It is short on technical aspects like cinematography and editing but is rich on cinematography, background score, production and costume design. The camera work is beautiful and utterly pleasing with aesthetic places that draws the attention of the viewers and rest of it is left upon its excellent execution. The adaptation by John Osborne is smart and explicit if not gripping and the primary reason to that is the amount of time it takes to set the plots and characters. Tony Richardson; the director, has done an amazing work on executing the script as mentioned earlier, with the help of beautiful cinematography. The performance by Albert Finney as the protagonist is brilliant along with a supporting cast like Hugh Girffith, Diane Cilento, Jayce Redman and Edith Evans. Tom Jones is free from love and morale conflicts despite of revolving around it and its the maturity that keeps the audience tangled into it.

Mostly the reviews on IMDb can be relied on, but sometimes they just make no sense. Over upwards of a decade and many hundreds of visits I can recall no starker illustration than the truly unbelievable 6.8 given to Tom Jones. It is, simply, a masterpiece.A brilliant story at the heart of it, of course, but brought to life with fantastic, innovative direction, including affectionate nods to the silents, extraordinary action sequences, unsurpassed breaches of the fourth wall ("Did you see her take it?"), uncommon acknowledgements of some of the grimmer realities of the era, and tour de force performances from the entire cast (who clearly relished every minute), centred of course on the sublime Albert Finney - one of the greats, never better - and the heart-stoppingly gorgeous Susannah York. Tom Jones is one of the ultimate explorations and illustrations of the full potential of the medium: movies don't get better than this. Anyone who contributed to that risible score should hang their head in shame. Anyone else, watch Tom Jones. Then watch it again. And again.

In eighteenth century England, "first cousins" Tom Jones (Albert Finney) and Master Blifil grew up together in privilege in the western countryside, but could not be more different in nature.This is a truly odd film. It could be a straight drama, but instead has a humor that is reminiscent of the works of Beaumarchais. Was the original novel this humorous? I have my doubts, but perhaps so. Even from the very beginning, we have a silent film gag that is more appropriate in a Mel Brooks movie.Strangely, today the words "Tom Jones" are never used to refer to the novel or the movie, but to the singer. His name is Thomas Jones Woodward, so whether or not he took his name from the book or just thought it sounded better than "Tom Woodward", I have no idea.

Based on Henry Fielding's classic, Tony Richardson's 'Tom Jones' has received quite a lot of acclaim and is still highly praised after almost half a century. It's quite nicely shot with the exception of the cinematography which was flat. The English location is pleasing to look at and the performances are very good. Albert Finney fits Tom Jones like a puzzle. The costumes are great and the director manages to capture the essence of the time period.However, I found the movie to be incredibly boring. I really tried to enjoy it. The beginning is very rushed and perhaps after about half an hour it moves at a snail's pace. The humour in the dialogues works to an extent, not enough to save this from boring me.There's also a disturbing hunting scene. I don't mind when a movie shows disturbing elements (as long as its relevant to the story) and hunting was a big game during that time period but it just seemed pointless to really kill a deer over it.Anyway, 'Tom Jones' just didn't work for me. Other than Finney's terrific performance and some nice dialogues, it didn't offer much.
