QUESTION!


What was the secret in the egg that Paolo left?

reply

That if you paid money to see this movie, you got ripped. You can get basically the same storyline and depressing feelings from watching any Lifetime movie.

Your reply:

This was a great movie with a story that needed to be told. Africa's wild animals are in danger of extinction ant it is movies like this one that brings their plight to the forefront of the world's attention so that future generations will be able to go to Africa and still see Lions, Elephants, Giraffe's, Zebra's and all of the other wild animals that exists there.
The only thing ripped is you! Instead of writing useless trash why dont you just have a beer, go sit in a corner with your friends and have a belching contest- and realy show your intelligence.

Does anyone know what the secret was?

Arthur (1981)
Susan: Arthur, take my hand.
Arthur: But that would only leave you with one!

reply

number one: Uh, this was a true story. as in, not bad writing. So don't trash the story, because things like that happening in real life are hard to beleive and rare.

number two: I betcha anything the message was "i love you." but it could've been anything corny and/or sappy:D

Perhaps the answer to the secret is in the book because the secret was not revealed in the movie.

That is another mystery we are left to ponder from this unusual yet memorable movie.

I've read the book and I can say, although this is a true story, it was still poor writing. Gallman did not manage to make me care about any of the characters in the book at all, even though they were all real people, because she would just tell me that they were wonderful people but she hardly wrote scenes about any of them. (In creative writing you are supposed to SHOW, not TELL, and nearly all she did was telling.)

As for the secret in the egg - in the book she kept considering taking the egg down and opening it and finally she was going to but then she didn't, so no, you never ever find out what the secret in the egg was, which in my opinion is stupid. It made me angry as a reader to be introduced to this mystery and then never have it solved - you can't write things exactly the way they happened and then just expect everyone to think the story is amazing.

It's really sad, because the story SHOULD HAVE been great - it's a true story, it takes place in Africa, it has a good message about conservation - but as a novel, it actually wasn't very good at all. It just didn't work the way she wrote it. I agree with conservancy of African animals and aid for the people, and I want to go to Africa someday myself (which is why I chose to read the book in the first place, although, as I said, it turned out to be quite a disappointment), but I'm not a fan of Gallman's writing.

I haven't actually seen the movie, so I have no opinion on it. I'm hoping it's better than the book (which I don't usually think - usually I think the book is great and the movie is just okay or annoying), but I don't know.
