- Alternate versionsHere's a detailed description of all the additional scenes in the Extended Version, Part 1 :
- When Joseph's dad dies, there is some added material where the dad says, "I've given you nothing, you boys. A small mold cottage on a bit of rock that isn't even ours, full of hollow labor." Also, there is a bit where the priest there looks at the dying dad curiously as he says his last words.

Featured review
Absolute 10
6,6 on IMDB? No, absolutely not! This is a Gem everyone should watch, even if you don't like Tom Cruise.
There are loads of lessons you can take from this movie. The race for land, represents the race for life, broken dreams and achieved dreams, the critic to the social prejudice and revolt in Ireland, the American dream seen in a realistic way.
The hidden love between the 2 , the scene where they take shelter in a rich house in Boston, a bit like she had in ireland, and he offers her a dinner and they pretend they live there, but harsh reality soon disrupt their dream at gunshot.
Maybe many have seen a different movie, this is a gem and should be heartfelt by most.
6.6?this is a solid average 8+ and i give it a 10.
