Movie Reviews of The Yearling
Movie Review: Amazing, touching, wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
Tonight, for the first time on PBS, I had a chance to see this wonderful movie. At 45, I have never seen it and am overjoyed to finally have the chance. I am in love with the young Gregory Peck, am astonished over Claude, and Jane reminds me too much of my own mother lol. The fawn must have bonded to Claude as he seems to really be attached to him. I want now to find out more about this wonderful young actor and about the fawn! How I never saw this movie all my life I will never know. This must be shown to children in school. I am touched beyond words, it is beautifully shot and enriching. Marjorie Rawlings deservedly won the Pulitzer and now I must read the book. I am laughing out loud, teary eyed and heart warmed at the same time. What a wonderful, wonderful movie.Movie Review: The Yearling ...as time goes by
Summary: 5 Stars
The fundamental things remain as time goes by... The Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings also. This classic story of loss, not just of a beloved pet, but of the innocence and freedom of childhood that Flag symbolizes. In the last moment of the film, as in the book, the boy and the deer run off together in Jody's imagination. In part, this means that Jody's innocence is gone with the deer. But it also means that a precious part of his spirit, the part that loved the deer so deeply, will be with him always, and will be a part of everything that he does.
The Yearling: one of the best movies ever made.
Movie Review: Great Book to Read Aloud to Grandsons
Summary: 5 Stars
My grandsons (ages 7 and 9) can read at a high-school level, but they love for me to read to them, and I love doing it, because we can discuss the book while reading and I can explain unfamiliar terminology or concepts.
We ordered the trilogy, which includes My Side of the Mountain and Frightful's Mountain, and finished it in about a week. What an education for all of us! Then, while on a New Year's camping trip to the Everglades,my grandsons were thrilled when they spotted a peregrine falcon!
I highly recommend this book for reading aloud or on one's own.
Movie Review: Ignore the negative reviews - at least watch the movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just re-watching this film again after a number of years - recorded on my DVR - this is an outstanding movie (for the reasons already outlined in the 4*-5* reviews); but, I must comment on the exact opposite negative comments w/ 1*-2* ratings (interestingly, mostly by women?) - the objections are ridiculous; e.g. Gregory Peck needed to mature! His accent was not 'Southern' (ridiculous!); the boy was terrible, and more stupid comments. Ignore these negative opinions - watch the movie and make up your own mind. This is a good movie & worth a watching!Movie Review: Beautiful movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie when I was a child, and just recently watched it again. And again! I think it is one of the best movies ever made. The most touching scenes are when Jody first rescues the little fawn, and the scenes with Fodderwing. The Forrester Family is hilarious (when Pa swaps the dog for the rifle). The opening scene with Peck narrating is excellent. The scenery throughout the film is beautiful, and Claude Jarman Jr. is an absolute delight. It is definitely one of America's finest films!
