For some reason, 1984 was the year movies released about common working folks in danger of losing their farms and having to beat the odds happened. Country, The River, and the Great Depression-era Places in the Heart. At a time when rural people were uncool, looked down upon, and lower class in the Reagan 80’s.
It started a decade or so before but liberal news & democrats pushed the agenda cduring the 80’s cause remember Dems are the party of the people!😂
Most of the government foreclosures on farms in the 1980s is absolutely and clearly the fault of the FmHA (Farm Home Administration); keep it in mind that the ‘m’ is silent, thus having the pronunciation of the abbreviation sounding just like FHA (Future Homemakers of America) for one oddball reason or another.
Yet, there happen to be those who would rather blame the farm foreclosures on banking corporations when the cold hard facts of life all point to the FmHA if one would only listen between the dialogue as if they were reading between the lines.
I live in rural Minnesota and saw this movie in the theater when it first came out in 1984. I have been watching it ever since in every kind of medium there is. I know I have it on at least two backup DVDs
Now that’s the spirit of planning ahead.
Great film. A film that makes feel you are on their farm, sitting at their table.
Jessica Lange must love to cook. In Tootsi, she cooks with love. Feeding her baby. Her cooking on that stove, whether in the morning making breakfast, making burgers then taking them to her family. The frying chicken scene, just comes off so natural. Sam Shepard in the Carharts, stained with oil and soil (my husband wore them and the stains looked like Sam's). There are no films like this at all. The people who had made them are an era long gone...makes me sad.
Too bad that the kitchen stove is fueled by propane instead of electricity.
Sam Shepard was one of my very favourite actors,had a special captivating presence on screen. So handsome. Sam and Jessica were a beautiful couple.
Too bad that they split up after the 90s ended.
This was Sam and Jessica at their peak, after Francis, another peak! More peaks were to come!
Sadly, Sam passed away in 2010.
Wilford Brimley passed away in 2020.
Sometime in between, Alex Harvey who plays FmHA District Manager Fordyce passed away, too.
Good movie and its real life
That’s telling it like it is.
This movie is so realistic, I can't watch it without crying 😪 the acting abilities of the cast is unbelievable!, I've always been a fan of Jessica Lange, she is one of the Best, and 😍👌 and in this role portrays a strong family woman with a deep love for not just her own family, but for everyone she comes in contact with, I'm a strong believer that an actor that can be this convincing as a good character in a movie, has to have those characteristics engrained in he or she actually is. ❤❤❤
Should have been nominated for the 1985 Academy Awards aka The Oscars.
Thank you for posting this!
Gladly.
We need to get ‘watchdog groups’ established to monitor the FmHA (Farm Home Administration) so that just in case a farm foreclosure isn’t quite on the up-and-up, said agents of the may possibly find themselves facing time in any federal penitentiary anywhere in the USA 🇺🇸!
You better come with more than a piece of paper! She meant that!
That’s telling it like it is!
0:16- Please, please. Can't the movies Places of the Heart, The Stone Boy, and The River Rat all share the same county? There's no need for a war.
0:31- Just build a baseball field in your corn and be done with it.
1:17- I'm sorry, is this a class? Should I be taking notes?
1:43- Yes, Jessica Lange in...best actress clip for the Oscars.
One of my favorite movies. It reminds of the movie Places in the Heart.
Except for the fact that “COUNTRY” is based in the 1980s.
Too bad Disney never gave this movie a wide release, but if they were to do so, it would've made more money than it actually did.
Oh, and the real reason why the film bombed at the box office was the fact that it was a limited release (almost ALL limited releases are doomed to become box office bombs, unless the studios that distribute them promote them to wide releases sometime after the films themselves open; a wide release is at least 600 theaters or more, BTW).
I think it would do good today in a re-release
40TH Anniversary of the movie is this year.
Might have to wait until the 45TH Anniversary coming up in 2029 for any possible theatrical re-releasing.
Especially if it’s released theatrically in the small town one-screen walk-ins and drive-ins alike.
For example, the Rebel Theatre in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, USA 🇺🇸 is one such theatre that would gladly show this movie on a regular basis among other classics, for example, it’d be nice if it were part of a double feature with the classic 1963 b&w movie drama “HUD” starring the late actor Paul Newman; once it’s thoroughly restored to working order within both the building and health codes alike.
However, in spite of the fact that the inflation rate from back then is now back with a vengeance, the Rebel Theatre will merely charge bargain basement prices on all sales of both concessions and tickets alike with the following ticket prices and age groups that they’ll accommodate:
$.75 cents for regular adult admission
$.50 cents for high school students
$.25 cents for college students
$.10 cents for senior citizens
and $.05 cents for kids ages 12 and under.
I lived in Southern Illinois and my dad and grandfather took me to see this in the theater there. I had no idea the movie didn't have a wide release (I was only 7 at the time) but I wonder if perceived lack of interest is why they didn't bother to promote it on home video even after the limited theatrical run. The farmers liked and appreciated the theme, for obvious reasons. This was the life many were living at the time.
