![]() Winnie's Granny rescues her from the conversation, though they all hear tinkling music that makes Granny pause excitedly. The man makes Winnie suspicious, but she speaks to him and suggests that he talk with her father. At sunset, the man in the yellow suit appears at the Fosters' gate and asks Winnie if she knows everyone in Treegap. At noon on this day, Winnie sits inside her family's fence and tells a toad on the other side that she'd like to run away so she can be independent and do something important. Mae ignores this and the narrator explains that nothing can happen to Angus, Mae, or their sons, Jesse and Miles: they're all immortal. Her husband, Angus, isn't excited and assures Mae that he'll be fine while she's gone, as nothing can happen to him. On the first day of the first week of August, Mae Tuck wakes up, excited to go meet her sons in Treegap. ![]() Discovering this stream would be a disaster. The narrator insists that this is wise, as if a person were to go into the wood, they'd discover a huge ash tree and a spring coming from its roots. The wood is a strange place and it makes people want to avoid it. On the outside of this hub, connected by the wood, are the Tuck family, ten-year-old Winnie Foster, and the man in the yellow suit. ![]() The world, the narrator suggests, is like a giant wheel, with spokes connected in the center by a hub that, in this case, is a small wood owned by the Foster family. If you can forget the flaws, forget the question you might have, you must be able to fully enjoy this.The narrator explains that the first week of August is the highest point of the year's cycle and that during this time, people do things they regret later. All this together with a very nice score and some beautiful images make this a very good movie. This and three other respectable actors like Hurt, Spacek and Kingsley make sure the movie does not fail on that level. Jonathan Jackson, who I only know from a small part in 'Insomnia', is a good choice for Jesse. Although you sometimes see the Rory Gilmore of 'The Gilmore Girls' Bledel does a nice job with her Winnie Foster. They are sweet together, have some nice scenes. Another reason you don't want to ask questions is Alexis Bledel together with Jonathan Jackson. Although that is not a good thing in most movies it works perfectly here. It does not really focus on the reason of immortality, it does not really focus on the relationship between Jesse and Winnie and it does not really focus on the outsiders like Winnie's parents and the Kingsley-character. First of all it is a good thing the movie keeps the attention in the middle of everything. There a couple of reasons we don't really want to ask too many questions. You can probably understand how many flaws a movie like this must have. He knows how the Tucks have found their immortality and has plans for himself. A man in a yellow suit (Ben Kingsley) is actually looking for the Tuck family but thinks he will find the girl with them as well. In the mean while we have Winnie's parents (played by Amy Irving and Victor Garber) looking for her. Winnie becomes a new member of the family. Although at first the family thinks Winnie needs to be killed, things change when Jesse Tuck and Winnie start to have feeling for one another. The young teenager who is taken by the family so she can not reveal their secret is Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel). The immortal family exists out of father Angus Tuck (William Hurt), mother Mae (Sissy Spacek) and two sons named Miles (Scott Bairstow) and Jesse (Jonathan Jackson). The story about an immortal family and a young teenager that comes into their lives is probably a well known story for some audiences, but I didn't know it. You could ask question after question but I did not find a reason to do so. 'Tuck Everlasting' is one of those sweet movies with a lot of flaws you don't care about.
