So sad (spoilers)


The ending had me sobbing when poor Johnnie dies. I would think it affects Georgie the most,but this really tore me. He stood out and did what he felt like. Gosh:(

I know.
I was actually doing some homework whilst watching the end and my book was totally tear stained by the end of it!

Its mainly the scene with Lala and Queen Mary that had me crying!
I don't know what it is about that scene, its partly the fact that I think Mary realises that Lala knew her son perhaps better than she did.
Its also the way Mary goes "he is gone isn't he,"

Before you criticize the queen too harshly, please read up on the subject- this was very much film fiction. She is said to have loved John very much, and visited him frequently (quite the opposite was shown in the film). He was not entirely isolated either; he had a female companion.

It also contains photographs.

I have the DVD & every single time I watch I am just weeping so bad! Georgie's tearstained face at the end & when all the all the villagers come to his funeral always make me cry.You know how some films when you've watched them a few times just lose they're tear factor - this one NEVER does or will.

oh I know. I just broke out when you see like a flashback at the funeral

I cried my eyes out of Queen Mary. She was the best thing about the whole movie. I was watching it in the livingroom and at the end I was sobbing like H***. Then my mother came in and I cried even more :P MG! I have never been that touched before. MIRANDA RICHARDSON FOREVA!
