Road to Avonlea (1990)
Great sweet series!
Great series. I love the episode Old Quarrels,Old Love, when Hetty's old beau from seventh grade comes back to Avonlea and Hetty won't speak with him at first,because in seventh grade he toke Rachel Lynde to a dance to make her jealous,finely she speaks(in angry) after falling in the river and eventually she forgives him but than he dies. So sad. It is a very fun sweet series that I strongly recommended. I wish that it didn't have to end. It did go on for 7 years though! My favorite characters are Hetty , Sara, Felicity,Felix,Jasper Dale and the young Cecily.Hetty is very funny, writing books and keeps it a secret,falling i n the river , Sara is the calm one and has a wonderful imagination,Felicity is a achiever and decides to do something than decides not to do it, Felix is always sure he has a great plan but than it gets him in trouble, Jasper if a bumbling inventor,and Cecily is the sweet second to youngest King child.
About Schmidt (2002)
Great retelling of Dickens 'Christmas Carol"
This was a thought provoking retelling of Charles Dickens 'Christmas Carol'. Just as Dickens critiqued Victorian society this movie does the same with the culture of our country, with Schmidt a stand in for us all. Some thoughts on the women in the picture. None of them seem to have a good place in society. Schmidt has failed his daughter has our society failed all of ours? The movie portrays them as ignored housewives, aging earth mothers, or underemployed perpetual adolescents married to losers. The ghosts of past, present and future. Tiny Tim lives in another country where a small monthly donation from Schmidt can mean the difference between life and death. The movie shows our culture consuming so much while a large part of the rest of the world goes without. Entertaining movie that will stay with you.
