brother part and the misunderstanding. It seems like a common thing in some romantic novels that such a misunderstanding must be created and then cleared ,thus, providing us with the happy ending. Also that the financial situation of the protagonists change (reminded me of Little Dorrit) to kind of enforce the depth of feelings.
However the characters are so strong and everything is so beautifully portrayed, these are too minor things to nitpick.
Khazar:
Sure it's a more or less classical love story and as one is entitled to be called cheesy; but it wouldn't by the first thing I would say about this movie.
It is with no doubt different than an ordinary american love story as there are so many already- obviously you would say since it's from BBC. It is deeper, more subtle -subtlety: that's what's missing in today's american tv shows, and more real.
In many ways I think this movie can be qualified as a good one: the characters do not completely change their opinions towards the factory although they do evolve. The love they have for each other doesn't make them change what they think or how they act, but more their ways of seeing thing: they both become more and more understanding towards the other point of view without totally refuting their own and that is new and refreshing in cinema I think.
Also it shows a part of the Great Britain I hadn't seen anywhere else; and the way they contrast the ways of living in the south and the north is instructive, it shows how work can really shape a region.
Moreover, I think that the cameraman's work is brilliant! The compositions of the scenes are so well done!
And the way there's always cotton (this death kisser) around or snow (this pure lovely thing) is very interesting.
Anyways I won't expand myself any further on the subject because I don't know if I can stop but good job to the BBC its movies are always so well done (from what I've seen so far) and so fascinating (here I go again, I really am stopping now).

Much more entertaining than such a cheesy story had any right to be.
