Contents

Cruise and Kidman, who were married at the time, play Irish immigrants seeking their fortune in 1890s America, eventually taking part in the Land Run of 1893. [4] [5]

This was Cyril Cusack's final film before his death the following year.

Plot

In Ireland in 1892, when tenant farmers worked land that they could never own and paid unfairly high rents to their wealthy landlords, Joseph Donnelly dreamed of owning his own land. After his father dies, their family home is burned down by their landlord Daniel Christie’s men, due to unpaid rent and facing evictions. Joseph travels to Daniel’s home to kill him in revenge, but he only injures himself. Daniel’s wife, Nora, and his daughter, Shannon, nurse Joseph back to health so that he can be hanged for the attempted murder.

Nora tries to mold Shannon into a refined lady, but Shannon often rebels. She reveals to Joseph that she aspires to go to America, where land is being given away for free. When Joseph tries to flee the Christie home, he gets into a confrontation with Stephen Chase, the Christies' financial manager, who challenges Joseph to a duel. The next morning, Shannon runs away from home, convinces Joseph to come with her as her servant and protector, and saves him from the duel.

On a ship bound for America, Shannon and Joseph meet Mr. McGuire, who confirms Shannon’s story about land being given away for free in Oklahoma. He adds that, once landing in America, they will have to travel a thousand miles to get there and must claim their desired land in a race. Shannon divulges that she has a collection of silver spoons that will cover the expenses needed to get to Oklahoma.

Upon their arrival in Boston, McGuire is shot in the street and Shannon loses her spoons in the chaos. Mike Kelly, an Irish ward boss, finds jobs for Joseph and Shannon and gives them a room to rent. Joseph also becomes a regular in bare-knuckle boxing matches at Kelly's club to make extra cash. Over the following weeks, Joseph and Shannon struggle to earn money and adapt to their new living situation. Romantic tension flares between them, especially after Grace, a dancer at Kelly’s club, shows interest in Joseph, making Shannon jealous.

One night, Joseph discovers that Shannon has gone to Kelly's club to dance burlesque and earn extra money herself. When he storms in to take her home, Kelly and the other Irishmen there beg him to fight an Italian contender, promising to split the two hundred-dollar winnings with Joseph if he triumphs. This would be enough to get him and Shannon to Oklahoma, so Joseph agrees. Joseph appears to be winning the fight until he notices one of his backers groping Shannon. He pushes through the crowd to free her, but is pushed back into the ring, where he is defeated by a sucker punch while distracted. As payback for the loss, Kelly and his men take all of the money the couple had saved and throw Shannon and Joseph out into the streets.

Cold and starving, the pair stay in a seemingly abandoned house. They share a tender moment and a kiss before the owners of the house return and chase them away, shooting Shannon in the back. Joseph, knowing the Christies are looking for her in Boston, brings Shannon to where they are staying. Deciding Shannon will be better cared for by them, Joseph leaves despite his feelings for her, heading west to the Ozarks on his own and finding work laying train track. Months pass, and one day he sees a wagon train. Knowing it is headed for Oklahoma, Joseph abandons the railroad and joins the wagon train, arriving in time for the Land Run of 1893.

Joseph finds Shannon, Stephen, and the Christies already in Oklahoma. Stephen, having seen Joseph talking to Shannon, threatens to kill him if he goes near her again. During the land race, Joseph outpaces everyone, catching up to Shannon and Stephen. But before Joseph can plant his claim flag, a fight breaks out between him and Stephen, ending with Joseph being crushed by Stephen’s horse. Shannon runs to Joseph’s side and rejects Stephen when he objects to her actions. Joseph professes his love for Shannon and seems to die in her arms but is revived when Shannon reciprocates his love. They then drive his flag into the ground and claim their land together.

Cast

Production

The film was shot in Montana for business reasons, but the Oklahoma Historical Society was involved in its production. [6] Imagine Production Co. toured the areas around Montana for a week. They visited different areas before selecting Billings, Montana. Ron Howard, whose film Backdraft was in the stages of being released in theatres at the time, arrived in Billings to begin groundwork for the film. One site outside of town was a 12,000-acre (49 km2) ranch, which was going to be used to film the Oklahoma Land Rush scene. Working titles for the film included The Irish Story [7] and An Irish Story. [8]

Principal photography began in Montana on May 28, 1991. After several weeks of preparation, the cast and crew filmed the Oklahoma Land Rush scene on July 7, 1991. Eight hundred riders and extras, nine hundred horses, mule, oxen, and two hundred wagons were used on a quarter mile wide set. Nine cameras were used to film the action sequences. During the filming of the scene four people broke bones and one horse died. [4] Cruise's boxing match was filmed at the Billings Depot. Local area residents were used as extras for the sequence. [9] American Humane reported that "The production company not only met American Humane's Guidelines, but went that extra mile to ensure both the physical and mental wellness of the animals." [10] After filming wrapped in Billings, the cast and crew traveled to Dublin, Ireland, to complete filming. Ardmore Studios in Wicklow was used to film interior sequences, [11] and the streets of Boston were filmed in Dublin.

It was the first film shot in Panavision Super 70 [12] and the first film to be shot in 70mm in a decade since Tron (1982). [13] [14] The Arriflex 765 camera was also used, as the camera was capable of 100 frames per second which was used for slow-motion shots during the Oklahoma land rush scene. [12]

Critical response

[31] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade "A" on scale of A to F. [32]

Roger Ebert praised the film's cinematography while criticizing its script:

Far and Away is a movie that joins astonishing visual splendor with a story so simple-minded it seems intended for adolescents... It's depressing that such a lavish and expensive production, starring an important actor like Tom Cruise, could be devoted to such a shallow story. [33]

Todd McCarthy of Variety called it "handsomely mounted and amiably performed but leisurely and without much dramatic urgency." [34]

Hal Hinson of The Washington Post wrote: "Far and Away... is the director's attempt to step into the cinematic shoes of directors John Ford and David Lean. And, certainly, he's stepped into something with this sprawling, old-fashioned melodrama." [35]

Writer Tony Parsons called it "a stinker of a picture...which was far and away the worst film I have ever seen." [36]

The film was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song for the song "Book of Days". [37]

Telecast

For its airing on ABC in March 1995, the network reinstated 35 minutes of deleted scenes to fill two two-hour blocks over two nights. [38]

Director Brad Bird was looking for a specific sound as inspired by the film's design — the future as seen from the 1960s. John Barry was the first choice to do the film's score with a trailer of the film given a rerecording of Barry's theme to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. However, Barry did not wish to duplicate the sound of some of his earlier soundtracks; the assignment was instead given to Giacchino.

The music of The Hobbit film series is composed, orchestrated, and produced by Howard Shore, who scored all three The Lord of the Rings films, to which The Hobbit film trilogy is a prequel series. It continues the style of The Lord of the Rings score, using a vast ensemble, multiple musical forms and styles, many leitmotifs, and unusual instruments.
