Once watched a film called "who will look after my children" (i think that's the title) about a mother with about 10 kids who discovers she is dieing and has to find a home for each of her children before she dies. Dad is a drunk and couldn't cope.
Cried all the way through... it was heartwrenching... and you couldn't even kid yourself it was just a film coz it was a true story.
i'm welling up just thinking about it.

Atonement. Just watched it illegally on the net. Resolutely faithful to the book and heartrending, staggering, and I was ready to hate it cos the director is shagging Rosamund Pike, the bastard. Outrageous steadicam at 1.02. Pisses on Scorcese.
A wonderful book and an incredible fillum, and i don't particularly like ironing board Keira.
The point is... there is no atonement, it's an exercise in valediction or apology. Hope that isn't a spoiler. You can't escape your destiny cos what you do is your destiny. Every shitty little thing.
And yes, i watched The Railway Children on ITV 2 today, but I didn't sniffle, there's a lot of hay fever around from the forsythia, ok? makes the eyes water.

Agreed, as a kid I just couldn't believe that a movie could have such a sad ending...Kestevan said:

As a kid there was this beautiful Australian TV series, I think, called Storm Boy, about a boy who lived on some isolated beach and had a pet pelican, which got killed. That made me cry. I still have the novelisation somewhere.
