Kirsten Paff Think of it this way. You know olden times when who you were and your last name was more important. Poor girl marries Rich guy and gets last name of Rich guy. She's now Mrs. Rich. Were if it's the other way around she's now Mrs. Poor giving up her Rich title.

Makes sense. In Titanic, it's Poor Boy, Rich Girl, and Boy dies. In the *animated* Titanic, it's the reverse, and everyone lives

Only 60%?

Kirsten Paff In olden times women were expected to "marry up" and they couldn't inherit anything so it was just all around terrible for everyone involved when rich women fell for poor men. The idea that women shouldn't marry poor men carried for quite a long time too, even when it was far less necessary for them to "marry up."

nah, today's surveys reveal that wealthy woman still prefer to marry men wealthier than themselves so blaming it on expectations and time period is just silly, woman married up because their youth gave them beauty and increased their value while men are valued just by their achievements Basically everyone wants to marry with the best spouse they can but youth gives women an advantage in that regard

I thought he said fluently.

He speaks fluid blasphemy???

yea so i can't write English words for shit. dutch, dyslectic, not a great combo for proper English. edited it.

That's like a Marx Bros joke. "That's what they call a 'sanity-clause'" "Hah! You can't fool me, there's no such thing as 'Sanity Claus'"

Sad to take away the only praise this film gets but this quote is almost entirely lifted from the 1938 Robin Hood movie starring Errol Flynn. It is such a fun ride - would highly recommend

It's also harf to classify liking someone when this person is ten.

SHE'S F***ING TEN! I can't believe your teacher wanted you to say that a ten your old was in love with a seventeen year old! I also read this book in middle school and I liked it but the implied romance made me uncomfortable as heck.

@@afish1659 Winnie being 'in love' with Jesse I could accept. She's a pre-teen girl who meets a magical, pretty older boy, doomed to a life of loneliness being cut-off from the rest of the world. It's the fact that Jesse returns her feelings. SHE'S TEN, DUDE!

@@PassTheMarmalade1957 Also isn't Jesse technically older than seventeen since he is immortal and has lived for a while. Even creepier!!!

MVS_Maïa he’s immortal but he sure as hell didn’t grow up

If you hadn't said it already, I would have ;) Did you see the entry on the 'recycledmoviecostumes'-website as well?

Victor Garber wore his costumes from Titanic as well. www.recycledmoviecostumes.com/victorianedwardian.html

I'm surprised it's popular enough to inspire fic writers

@@chaoticneutral7976 Nothing is so obscure that there is no fan work for it 😂

I'm trying to imagine how immortality would work with a cosmic event like earth exploding. My conclusion is that you could remain indestructable but pain, low/high temperatures, lack of moisture and nutrition could technically put you in a comatose state.

@@wjzav1971 Im trying to write a story of a much bigger group of people (none are related) who have gone through seven different universes because they are immortal

@@chaoticneutral7976 Thanks to the musical and movie, there are a LOT of fics out there

Watched a review on the movie adaptation, found out that Edward, 2 months prior to meeting Bella, would sneak into her room at night and watch her sleep... That's not only creepy, it's scary.

In the book Winifred is 10 years old. It's not really a romance.

Timothy McLean you should read scythe

Well, Miles and Mae had more sensible, positive thoughts on immortality. Mae saw it as making due with the fact they aren't going to die, just hide and live with it. Miles, while he was the one that lost the most, years to do more than hide. He wants to make his mark and do good. In the movie, Miles is a bitter idiot and Mae is just there. Write her out and the story wouldn't change. That would be.cool too to have a world full of immortals. But it would be hard to know whom u could trust with that secret.

@@jacindaellison3363 Why does it need to be a secret though? It's not like it's a superweapon or something. It's just anti-dying juice.

@@timothymclean The Man with the Yellow Suit was going to use it for evil intentions. He was going to sell it to people whom he thought deserved it. Imagine the government acting like that. Plus, I think back then people were turned off from the idea of immortality not coming from God. I see what you're saying and that, yeah if the Tucks were cautious of whom they trusted, they could actually have some allies and friends with them. The family were just being cautious b/c they had negativity thrown at them only on the fact they weren't aging. If those ppl were that hostile to something the Tucks weren't sure of themselves, it's pretty unpredictable what their folks would have felt if they were told the truth. The only reason they told Winnie-n the book-they don't even tell her in the movie Jesse just blurts it out b/c he was infatuated by her looks. The family told Winnie b/c they wanted her to understand what was going on and persuade her not to tell anyone.

@@timothymclean assuming you have sapiance and do not need to eat or breathe then imagine getting "stuck". Ie death of wolverine in the comics. Getting buried under a landslide. Or if by some miracle you make it accident free until the red sun engulfs the war. You'll outlive the species and live the rest of your days in a firery red inferno of our dying star. If you make it and we (or you) develop a method to escape the planet. You are now going to wonder the universe for eternity and the odds of an catesteophic accident blowing your vessel up increase by infinity.

Well thats because.... Umm.... Well shit.

Elizabeth Kern The Dom's reaction to your question has me lmao 😂😂😂

Elizabeth Kern Had the same thought lol

Or why did they keep drinking from the spring in the first place? It only took one sip/drink to make them immortal which apparently they hate so why keep coming back to it? It they truly thought the spring was that dangerous they should have just destroyed it themselves and moved on.

I was wondering that too. I didn't read the book or see the movie so I'm basing this on the review, if you have to constantly keep drinking from the spring to stay immortal, and you dont like being immortal, then stopping drinking the water. From the review, there wasn't any mention of drink only once and you're immortal so it seems like they have to keep drinking to maintain but if they stopped it would wear off. Unless they decided to keep going to keep others from ending up like them but then they created their own curse. I have more questions about this magic spring and how it works...

I guess raising her age was one of the few things right in the movie.

I actually don't have a problem with it because of the time period.

Not really an excuse. The median age of marriage was 22 in 1890, so even asking her to wait until 17 was rushed, if not wholly unheard of. Unless we're talking about Caesar Augustus' laws on marriage in the BC (some of the first laws on marriage/age of consent, unlike prior to the law, deciding to breed at first blood), which placed 10 at the lowest age, also placing 12 as the age of consent, most societies waited (per norm, not law) until the _late_ teens. 10 y/o has been ridiculously young for millennia, and even colonial Americans waited until, typically, age 20 to marry off women. www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/02/teen-girls-stop-commonly-getting-married/ www.infoplease.com/us/marital-status/median-age-first-marriage-1890-2010

People get this wrong all the time. Even people back then realized there had to be an agr linit because they realized that young girls make for really bad child barers. Either the girl will only produce a single child before she dies... or she doesn’t produce a child at all and still dies trying.

it bothered me a lot too. Not just because it's creepy, but in the movie Winnie was - for me - torn because they loved each other. In the book she's 10 so she doesn't and Jessie in only interested in her because she knows their secret. She could have been literally any other girl in the world, so WHY would she choose to drink it for HIM?

I remember that part too, and I found it funny.

You're thinking of the 1981 FHE version, not the disney remake. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtmKicao2Lq5hYE.html

If I had 1 million dollars for every required reading book I read in school, I'd still be poor.

Dunne N' dusted I loved that movie. I watched it over and over again.

I've seen that one, but can't remember if it's like the Shirley Temple movie where the dad is in the Boer war or like the book/Wonderworks movie where he's in India. Definitely remember the green and orange color scheme tho. Anyway, to IMDB!

A wild childhood nostalgia appeared! I loved that movie as a kid :]

All I remember about that movie is being super mad it was nothing like the book. I should probably watch it again now that I'm not a kid.

yes definitely I love that movie

Ben Davis he was the Thomas Andrews guy, right?

Ben Davis gasp

Garber actually wore the same suits in Tuck that were made for him in Titanic! www.recycledmoviecostumes.com/victorianedwardian.html

@@alisaurus4224 Winnie's coat when she's in the car in town also looks similar to the coat Rose wears for half the film.

@@angelicasmodel it’s the same coat! The buttons were moved so it overlaps & closes on the side. The link above shows it.

Why have they done this?😦😬

Cal Bessemer had to read both of those while in school. Procrastinated really badly on reading Wuthering Heights to the point I had to read all almost 400 pages in 3 days. No one should have to process that much old English dialogue in such a short time. 😵

@@lovetolovefairytales Tuck Heights

There’s a good Lost in Adaptation episode for Dom; he’s got a couple versions to use for comparison (the one with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche is kinda the most accurate)

@@LucyLioness100 and then there's the Kate Bush song......

I think there’s more than a few differences between those two books....

japansace Same here

Same

Me too

I watched it in middle school too.

Funny enough, saw it and read it at High School. The yellow man's death was a shock to me since we were still teens, and knowin' death at an age left me in a funk. Also, like the dom said, she's ten, dude, she's ten!

The Ron-Hermione relationship is so bound to end in divorce. I know people don’t want to back JK’s original intention for Hermione to end up with Harry, but they still had better chemistry

@@LucyLioness100 For real. They're fine friends and all but the thing with friends is you don't have to see them daily, which is why they fight so frequently while at Hogwarts. So how would it be any different while living together? Wanting to bang each other doesn't change that. Harry is definitely a better choice but I think an even greater option is her not marrying anyone, or at the very least just finding love with some random person after focusing on a career.

Yeah the RonXHermione is pretty awful.

This is false on so many levels. I really recommend a video called "Explaining what went weird with Ron Weasley" on KZfaq, because there is a huge difference between movie Ron and Hermione and book Ron and Hermine. To break it down, Hermione was made perfect and flawless, while Ron was dumbed down so much, that everything had do be explained to him by either Hermione or Harry and also made him the butt of many jokes. Which is sad, because both had their own flaws and both were responsible for one of their biggest fights (Hermione in book 3 and Ron in book 6). Their constent arguing in the books should really be considered friendly banter (as really good friends are able to do, because they both know it is just fun and not 100% serious), rather than fighting. A proof of that is the use of the phrase "know it all". While Ron calls Hermione that at least twice a day, it is shown to be completely different when Snape does it in the third book, because then she has to fight not to cry. While movie Ron makes a commend, that Snape has a point, book Ron (not Harry!) immediately comes to her defense and calls Snape out on it. Another point is, that book Hermione and Harry are not as close as the movies are suggesting. Harrys best friend was and always stayed Ron, even to the point that he would side with him in an argument and basicly abandon Hermione. She on the other hand was actually much closer to Ron, hence their friendly banter and in later books even mentioned talks about Harry, but not including him. So from a book readers perspectiv, Yes! It makes absolute sense, that they would end up together and stay together. For more detailed information, I really recommend the mentioned video.

@@jolene8310 Cool.

There was a Twilight episode in which a guy is also unaging and tells the man who found out about it "You don't become wiser over the centuries, you just grow older."

Ali DW They also recycled costumes from Titanic since they set this movie around the same time. They made multiple copies of the costumes that were used in water shots and some of them were sold off after filming. they were Victor Garber wore some of the same suits in both movies and the coat with the black embroidery is one of the ones Rose wore after the ship hit the iceberg that was altered to fit Alexis Bledel.

Leila Byerly i I second hoot! Love that book!

Leila Byerly myy goodness, the dom, i can’t do that, i’m in high school and only have enough money to spare on gas for my car and the crappy school lunches i’m forced to eat! (Fixed it for ya :3)

lexalina132 Sadly, I don't own a car. I live in France where the driving age is 18. I also bring my own lunch from home because I don't have any money of my own, at all. 🙁😔

I also highly doubt that my parents would let me spend their money on supporting a youtuber, much to my dismay. Even if it is one of my favorite youtubers who I think posts amazing content and is fully deserving of my support. But, alas. There's nothing I can do. That's why I would really love it if someone who has their own money and would love to see these adaptations as well would pass the message along.

lexalina132 Yeah, basically. Except, more like. Myy goodness the Dom, I can't do that. I have literally 0 money and cannot support you, as much as I would like to.😣😟

I watched that version of the movie too! I was disappointed Dom didn't mention it.

@@LisaMA Though he doesn't specifically mention the 1981 version, he did say at the very start that there have been some good movie adaptations

That movie was much better than the more recent one.

I thought they did ok with Moana. She wanted more out of life, but knew her duties as chief came first. She only left on her adventure because she had to return the stone to save her people.

But the character of Winnie was already one that yearned for adventure and wanted more out of life. They didn't add that.

thats less of a disney and more of a musical thing "i wants" can be about adventure love revenge extra disney just uses the adventure one a lot

Ah, I see. I admit that I've never read the book, so thank you for pointing that out :)

I haven't seen "Moana," but I've heard good things about it :)

Not even a season. It opened at the beginning of the month and closed at the end of the same month. It BOMBED. Which is a shame, because it was so much more faithful to the book and I loved the actors so much.

Natalie Cornish I saw it twice (once during a preview and once after opening, both with complementary tickets). It was just okay. Some good songs, and some great performers, but mostly a lot of tonal issues with the book and a lot of over-sentimentality. It mainly didn’t know whether it wanted to be a children’s musical or to appeal to an older crown, which is why it probably didn’t last too long. The set was absolutely gorgeous though and I enjoyed it both times.

It was sitting in the road but the suicidal intentions are all your invention I'm afraid...

The frog was used as a bit of comedy and a rehash of the message I think. The tucks thought the frog was stupid but it was really more aware of its inability to die so it was presented at the end as a way to show where the frog was and how it had been impacted. If I recall one of the tucks say that the frog “thinks he’s gonna live forever” or something equivalent. It’s a closing scene more than anything.

Kinda reminds me of the rabbit from "Igor". XD

or the mouse [Mr. Jingles] from "The Green Mile" (Movie adaptation) when Paul says "if he could make a mouse live that long, I wonder how much time I have " before cutting to a scene of the mouse sleeping in his little bed

Yes, in the book, it was sitting in the middle of the road, where cars could run over it. So perhaps it was miserable? But toads do get run over by cars IRL too.

It took me a second LMFAO

😂

Jajaja so true

It's still a stupid trope though. Healthy relationships stem from people getting on with each other, not arguments.

Brodie Crain have you seen the yellow sign?

Where's Curious George in this story?

Brodie Crain Someone get Old Man Henderson!

Michelle Barrera - Can you please explain why? Because I found it to be so, so boring. I'm just really curious.

fraya1022 idk I watched/read it as a kid and I mostly like the whole fountain of youth setting. The movie was eh though.

I think The Dom said in his 50 Shades video that he wasn't going to do any more 50 Shades books.

MyssBlewm He did a Twitter thing where if it got 1,000 retweets he would do the second movie. It got 1,010. :D

fraya1022 true regret, eh? :3

i guess schools have different opinions in regards to what should be required reading because the only stuff that i read that were real published books where shakespeare and one that i chose to read which the english teacher let me keep probably because i was the only one that liked to read.

I'm from the UK and we never had to read this

Close enough

Yeah but she looked 12 lol

Also, if the turtle is still around in the epilog, it's really not that impressive. Turtles live for fucking ever, man :-D

As far as I remember they only had to drink it once and I'm guessing since it took place in the 1800's it was just easier for them to drink out of the spring then finding a well or something when they passed it

It’s been a long time since I read the book, but I believe they kept going back to the spring to make sure that nobody else had found it. Drinking from it again wouldn’t affect anything, they were already immortal and when you are going on a hike through the woods you can get thirsty. Why bring water with you for both ways if you know there’s some at your destination.

Okay.... both still seem like flimsy excuses for the sake of plot but eh I’ve heard worse.

Lissie Foxx They traveled twenty miles to and from the spring without a passing a well? The OP actually raises a good point that is never explained. Mae meets the sons once every ten years at the spring so the only explanation is a meeting point, but they could have met somewhere else. I don't normally care about plot holes because they're there to make the narrative work but there really is no reason that the Tucks would come back and drink from the same water if they were truly scared of other people drinking from it. At it's core, it's poorly thought out. But here we are dissecting a novel that was written for kids, so let me calm down :)

@@BraxBox lol true. But even watching this as a kid that part always confused me.

Poke Ayyyy, same! Not my actual mom but my dad’s fiancé thought my dad was an ass initially but considering they’re getting married I think she changed her mind :)

Only sith deal in absolutes. Hissssss

fu hehua so now he's a nice piece of ass?

Heck I was a bit antagonistic towards my first boyfriend. It was summer camp and we were going on a trip to a theme park and his singing was bothering the shit out of me. I told him to shut up and he told me to shut up. The counselor s ended up having to break up our fight. It wasn't until I went to go apologise to him that we ended up bonding and becoming invloved with each other.

MarvAlice not sure, haven’t asked 😂

also is it just me or does the girl a up to her KIDNAPPERS way too quickly? the dom says they were keeping her for one night right?

There was a book?

ZipplyZane Why yes by thomas m disch

+Santa Rosa Now I have a book to add to my reading list, then.

L. T C. It was the 1800s

Lissie Foxx Yes it was was but come on! Time periods do not excuse scummy behavior. Besides When it was written it was decades after the 1880s and I'm pretty sure by then it would be considered, you know, Creepy!

I always felt it was supposed to come off as a little creepy, or at least pathetic. It's another part of the downside of immortality, you know, that he's that desperate for a partner to grab, like, *anyone* even a child, as well as how living forever can warp your perception of time. For him, seven years is an eyeblink; for her effectively her entire lifetime from that moment. She's not interested and the book doesn't validate it, so it's a lot less problematic than a lot of "but but in peeeeriod" presentations of child-brides in literature.

Jessie le Fey true, still I'm with the Dom on this one, aging her up in the movie was the right choice. And I think if they were to ever remake it they should stick with that creative choice and make her a teenager there as well, or my personal brainwave, have the story take place over several years starting when she's 10 but nothing romantic between her and Jesse even gets discussed or acted upon until she's 16 or 17.

I think other fiction has portrayed immortality a bit better and more Nuanced. I for one love the black mirror episode San Junipero. It shows that yes there are drawbacks like life feeling empty after awhile people who died before the tech was invented can't join their family there and our protagonist Kelly very much missing her family who ended up being some of those people who missed the boat. But can also be a blessing for people who never really had a chance to live, like our second protagnist Yorkie who spent most of her life a vegetable and now finally has a chance to live a real life and not one stuck in a bed needing a machine to breathe. My description isn't doing it justice so I suggest watching it if you haven't already. But I can say it does a better job of portraying immortality than just "living forever bad, dying good." Like this book does.

I remember back in sixth grade, my teacher got _really_ into the book. Like, fangirl levels into it. She was so in-our-faces about it that literally no one in class could enjoy the book anymore. When we watched the movies, no one could care but she was so giddy about it. Even when class wasn't about the book, _it was about Tuck Everlasting_ because she would never let it go.

BowPie theres a musical!? I must research!

There's a book?!

Yep! It's pretty different from the movie actually

There was an earlier film adaptation of Tuck Everlasting?

Yep. Opening scene has the younger brother being a cavalier climbing around on a ferris wheel while it’s in motion because he doesn’t fear death.
