This is one of the best films of all time for many reasons: John Irving's great writing, Michael Caine's great portrayal of Dr Larch, his relationship and later Honer's, with the orphans (Kings of new Englansd, princes of Maine): I could go on for ever but it would be too long! Love this movie!!!
shareI consider this one of the best movies made.
I don't watch this movie often. The last time I watched it was probably 10 years ago, but many scenes of the orphans always haunt me.
Fuzzy and the other kids when they said the woman was King Kong's mom because King Kong loved her.
The orphans tried to be at their best when some people came to adopt some of them, so that they could stand out and be adopted.
When the orphans, watched from the windows, the parents leaving with their new adopted kids.
When Michael Cain's and Toby's characters had to make an announcement about someone having been adopted.
Those orphans did break your hearts and I have a heart of stone!
It's that man again!!
I felt my heart melting every time I saw Curly as he looks a lot like my son, especially the eyes. The part where the couple came to choose a child and they are all in their best behaviour.. I thought "how can they go with only on e child" I would come out of that orphanage with about 6 kids if I were allowed.
