[HeartOfTheOcean1912]

Ιt was a very intense performance. I haven't read the book, but Sue's character seemed very complicated. It seemed to me that she didn't know what she wanted in the beginning, while later I realized that she wanted to stop herself and her cousin to fall in love with each other. In the end I felt really sorry for her, for loosing her kids, but I wouldn't go back to someone I didn't love just because a boy killed my children! If I was her, I suppose I would stay and try to move on with my life.

Have you seen the film, Jas?

Took me awhile to post here and answer your question, Laurelle, but I'm recently just seen it! I thought it was a good film.

Her losing her kids was a very shocking scene to me, especially the way they were found. I must have forgotten you mentioning it here in this thread because I didn't see it coming.

(I think I need a rewatch so that I can discuss this film further)

It's true, her children's death shocked her (I'm not saying more because it'd be spoilers ), but what I find the most tragic, was that this has made her regret for everything she's done, and from the free-spirit girl she was, she ended up being a woman faithful to religion, and also returned to her husband she didn't love because she didn't have anywhere else to go, or because she felt extremely sorry for letting him.

When you do give it a rewatch, hope you can post more about the film here.

Yeah, I saw that her personality changed after the tragedy. She was just broken, understandably. The scene of her crying on the floor was heartbreaking.

It was indeed.

Spoiler:

To think mostly of the fact that her two children were killed by the son of her cousin/partner.

And Kate's acting to that scene was breath-taking, especially if you know she didn't have any children of her own back then.

It's on youtube, last time I checked, if you don't have a DVD or a download.

Spoiler:

I found it so tough to think of child doing that to himself and two other kids. I gasped when I saw that scene. The kid hanging, the other two lifeless.

And Kate's acting to that scene was breath-taking, especially if you know she didn't have any children of her own back then.

Kate nailed that scene and all the scenes she was in. What do you think about her reaction when she walked into that room, she seemed in serious shock.

I really need a rewatch

Youtube doesn't have the entire film the last time I've checked. Although I think I can find it somewhere else on the internet.

Talking on the whole movie in general, it really showed us how hard it was for them to live in the world into poverty, included the bad opinion the world had for them

Spoiler:

provided they were first cousins

However, on the whole, it's a beautiful love story, and a very tragic one. The fact that they managed to live together for many years, never minding what people were saying, was what fascinated me the most in the story.

You could be right that youtube doesn't have it all, I can't seem to find 'part 7' of the movie when I searched for it just now, but most of the other parts are there.

This movie is definitely tragic but it had some nicer moments at the beginning, they were so happy during that beach scene. We know what happened when they came home.

Spoiler:

I have to admit, I didn't expect that cousin thing. But it was interesting to watch a movie that showed a different relationship between two relatives.

[HeartOfTheOcean1912]

I agree There are many plot twists in the story, you definitely can't predict the ending. Remember their meeting in the cemetery? Sue went there to visit her children's graves, and Jude happened to be there, too. It seemed to me that Sue really wanted to come back to him, but her sense wouldn't let her. She was a married woman, who was also very religious after what happened. How could she come back to her sin-full life?
