Movie Reviews of The Yearling

Movie Review: This movie made no sense
Summary: 1 Stars

I don't understand what the big fuss is about this movie. It took more then an 1 hour to establish the plot and anyone that knows deer's it was only a matter of time before the deer was going to start too acted wild. I also didn't understand why the father didn't call his son by his first name. He kept calling him boy through out the entire movie. I guess back in the 40's that children called that parents by Ma and Pa. The parents didn't call there children by there names either they said son or daughter or I guess boy and girl.I'm not going to tell you how it ends but there's not much in this movie that will keep you interested. I loss interest about 15 minutes into this movie because there's no action, rhythm or anything at all as I said before to keep interested. Base on that and I'm indeed being nice about this I give this movie only 1 weasel stars.

Movie Review: The Yearling film
Summary: 1 Stars

The movie is incredibly dated now but the score,derived from the music of Frederic Delius, is outstanding. Rawlings, the author of the book upon which the movie is based, and Delius lived in the same section of Florida. Both capture the special atmosphere of the place. It is a remarkable union of screenplay and music. The performance of the boy, Jody, will wear you down with his unremitting wide-eyed wonder. As a movie, I rate it one star, but it has the redeeming virtue mentioned above for those who can enjoy atmosphere aside from the plot.

Movie Review: Wretched
Summary: 1 Stars

They feed a deer for a year and then kill it for eating their food after killing its mother and at first pontificating about taking responsibility for their actions. They blame bears and deer for "misbehaving" by eating while they take no responsibility to use adequate locks and fences or even learn to shoot instead of twice maiming animals and letting them linger.
