Brilliant Adaptation!!!!!
|
| I love this movie!Since I was around 5 or 6 years old,this film has been one of my favorites.The original book is a timeless classic for all ages.Out of all the film adaptations,this one is tied with the Hallmark one as my favorite.It perfectly recreates the eerie feel of the manor and the moors it is built upon.The black and white appearance of the film are made for this type of piece.Also,when the film switches to technicolor for the garden scenes,the effect is stunning.It makes for a seamless transition from the somber outside world into the pleasant magic of the garden.In addition to this,the acting is wonderful.Margaret O'Brien is the ideal choice to play Mary Lennox.She manages to make the transition from nasty child to nice child seem real and convincing.She is also very likable in the part even at her bratiest stage.Aside from her,the rest of the cast is also excellent with all of the child actors showing surprisingly strong talent.Indeed,if more child actors in present times had this much talent,more family films would actually be tolerable to watch.As it is,this film is a masterpiece.It is an excellent addition to any one's movie collection. |
