Far and Away
Published by Scooter February 22nd, 2006 in Ethnic Stereotypes.Everyone’s favorite Scientologist couple, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman star in this drama about impoverished Ireland and the American Dream.
Tom Cruise is Joseph, a small tenant farmer’s son who tries to fight for his rights against the cruel tyrant landlord who turns out to be a nice guy. Joseph and his family represent everything that is stereotypical about the Irish- they love to drink, and sing and live in a small hovel and fight a lot. He gets mixed up with the spirited yet naive daughter of the landlord, Shannon (Kidman), and they go to America, so she can spy on his butt-crack through a hole in her dressing-screen. Joe becomes a prize fighter, where he finds respect, money, and Chief O’Brien, of course. Shannon plucks chickens and learns a little humility. They eventually go West and discover the American Dream, but not before Joe gets resurrected from the dead.
