      Can anyone tell me why Bronte doesn’t just marry Phil instead of marrying a stranger? If she truly wants to help out George then I can understand, but she doesn’t know him or even like him. Why would you marry someone you don’t know anything about just to buy a greenhouse apartment? The rest of the film is fine but this plot line is unrealistic., illogical and irrational.

    one of my all time fav films, stellar cast and wonderful direction by outstanding Oz director Peter Weir. This is another story which says "you are the person I never knew I always wanted" His masculinity to her was at first a turn off, but at the end he swept her off her feet and I always think he would have eaten her up once he got his hands on her, but in a good way, just what her character needed. You can be an independent woman but still need to be loved hard, we all do

    Et j’ai pleuré à chaudes larmes pour ces arbres perdus.
    "Laissez les petits enfants dans les arbres et je leur donnerai de l’espoir", il a dit.
    Mais il n’y a plus d’arbres pour ces pauvres enfants perdus.

    And I wept warm salted tears for the lost trees
    Let the little children come onto the trees and I will give them hope
    But there are no trees for the poor lost children
    Decay is their toy
    Despair is their game
    They have only chaos to climb.

    the poem in spanish:
    Una vez oí el sonido del viento en los arboles
    una vez oí el sonido de las risas de los niños
    y llore lagrimas calientes por los arboles perdidos
    dejad que los niños se acerquen a los arboles y tendrán esperanza dijo. (Dijo Andy)
    pero no hay árboles para los pobres niños perdidos
    la basura es su juguete, la desesperación es el juego
    solo al caos pueden trepar.
