Colin would sometimes annoy me, but then I remember that Mary is literally the first friend that he’s ever had and he doesn’t want to lose her even to his other friend Dickon. That selfishness that has grown from years of solitude takes awhile to be gone completely. But then recognising at the end that Mary needs her uncle and that he can also share his father with her is a big thing. Love this movie!!

2022-10-06 07:56:02 +0000 UTCGood lord, I thought this was going to be an entirely different version. I've seen 6 versions of this now, including a really really WEIRD version where Mrs. Medlock and Dr Craven were trying to MURDER Colin to get the house and some BS about Lily's pearls and yadda yadda yadda....like I said it was WEIRD...I love the book for this. So far, I have loved NONE of the movies....

2022-10-05 15:22:57 +0000 UTCOk! Watched and here are my thoughts: I want to start with: It's ENTIRELY fair to think that the movie was slow-moving, unexciting, and almost annoyingly soothing (I used to fall asleep because of the music too LOL). However, here are some items about it that might help: This movie (and the book, really) has a unique arc. You start in India (bright but, notice, not a single smile in the whole segment at or from Mary). Then in the arrival in the UK, the colors are almost completely gone. You start this movie already pretty much at rock bottom. The entire arc is an upward slope from there. As time goes on, more colors are added (even Mary's cheeks are brighter). This brings me to the second part that I don't think I heard you catch onto: Mary and the Garden represent the same thing. When Mary says, "It wasn't wanted." at the end, she meant herself. Not just the garden. SHE wasn't wanted. More than anything, she's scared to death of being cast aside and forgotten again, that's why it's so important at the end that her uncle accepts the garden but he's speaking directly about Mary as well. He's telling her that she IS wanted...no, NEEDED. And that's the part that really spoke to me as a kid.
