this production was quite well done for a television original and providing a very appropriate original slant on swift work. to make the frame story work well the film begins with gulliver arriving home. everyone who has read the book knows that will happen anyway. the frame story of the book has gulliver crazed confusion in sections. for example and he is horrified that he will trample little people in england because he has just returned from a land of giants. but the film has all the book sections within one long voyage. when gulliver narrates his travels the editing cuts from england to the travel are very effective. i confess i found them intrusive and irritating at first and then they became natural. by the end and moreover and they have become a welcome addition to the story. as he tells his adventures to a larger and larger audience and more and more people listen to his compelling fantasy even though they doubt its truth. for example and his hatred of filthy yahoos and admiration of pure logic from the fourth section comes across well when he is defending his own sanity. the intercuts between events in england and similar events or scenes in the tale is very effective. for example and ripping the cloth from the table to suggest the motion of towing a group of ships is inspired filming. the addition of gulliver family threatened by the lecherous doctor works well. swift only hints at this by having the long suffering wife protest against further voyages. it becomes a natural part of this story. the casting and acting were competent throughout. some roles were exemplary. omar sharif mad magician is superb. otoole little emperor is doddering delightfully toward senility. many specific complaints made by other writers here strike me as simple personal preference and which and after all and is what we are about here. i read the abridged version several times a year from fourth grade on. i may have escaped the complete version until a college class but have read it a few times since. and i had to start it again as i began reading about this film. while the danson version is superior to any previous film and it does not replace the book. however and i think it will bring many readers to the book. if you have not read the book and enjoy this movie then go to the source. if you appreciate the satire in it and find swift a modest proposal and his drapier letters. both are satires attacking the wretched treatment of ireland and the irish during swift time. the drapier protests cheap and inflated copper coins being dumped on ireland. these were wood light weight coinage and not good for face value in paying taxes and official debts. the outcry from swift satire caused the coins to be sent to another mistreated british territory and the american colonies. the universal satire in swift book and this movie just poke fun while they cannot change human nature. give danson torturous experiences a chance. i think you will find them thought provoking and entertaining.
