Product Description

Product Description

Based on the bestselling novel, the film follows a priest and his struggle between his calling and his carnal lusts.

Amazon.com

The second most-watched miniseries (after Roots) of all time, The Thorn Birds was originally broadcast in 1983 and captivated viewers with its story of a lifelong conflict between the spirit and the flesh. Adapted from the bestselling novel by Colleen McCullough, the production stars Richard Chamberlain as a Catholic priest named Ralph de Bricassart, whose life in Australia between 1920 and 1962 is one long torment as he pines for his lover, Meggie Cleary (Rachel Ward), while seeking advancement in his clergyman career. The passion and the guilt make for compelling drama, but a stellar cast of supporting players adds muscle to the proceedings: Barbara Stanwyck (who won an Emmy for her work as Meggie's tough aunt), Jean Simmons, Richard Kiley, Christopher Plummer, Bryan Brown, and Mare Winningham. Chamberlain, who was something of the king of the miniseries form at the time, is very good in the lead, as is the often-underrated Ward. Their affair is indeed irresistible to watch, which proves to be true, too, of the story's thick weave of church politics, forbidden desire, social change over decades, and family secrets. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Wollte die Serien unbedingt wiedersehen
Reviewed in Germany on January 20, 2024
Ich hatte die Dornenvögel als Jugendliche gesehen und war damals begeistert.
Die Titelmelodie geisterte mir bis heute im Kopf herum und bei der Hausarbeit ertappte ich mich oft dabei, dass ich die Melodie summte oder pfiff. Also machte ich jetzt Nägel mit Köpfen und bestellte mir bei Amazon die DVD.
Guter Preis, Blitzlieferung.

An einem regnerischen Wochenende machte ich es mir auf der Couch gemütlich und schaute die Dornenvögel.

Insgesamt sind es 4 DVDs, Gesamtspielzeit 465 Minuten.

Wie soll ich es beschreiben? Es war kultig und hat mich immer noch ins Herz getroffen. Eine schöne und glaubwürdige (Liebes-)Geschichte.

Ich habe zwar als Erwachsene einiges anders wahrgenommen als in den 80er Jahren aber es hat mich sehr gut unterhalten.
Irgendwie war es eine nostalgische Zeitreise und ich habe die Titelmelodie noch lauter mit gepfiffen. Lach.

Bei mir schauen immer Statler und Waldorf mit, sie sitzen in ihrer Loge neben meinem Fernseher und hatten ebenfalls nichts zu motzen. :-)
