Tuck Everlasting (2002)
Tumblr media
While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...
Anyone who's ever been in a relationship will spot something wrong with Tuck Everlasting. If you’re a teenager or inexperienced in love it may take you a bit, but that’s alright. We’ll wait for you to catch up. This film’s romance is unconvincing and bland. When it fails to engage you, all you can do is ask questions about the stuff surrounding the love plot and under the pressure, the film crumbles.
15-year-old Winnifred “Winnie” Foster (Alexis Bledel) wants to escape the life her parents have laid out for her but in 1914, she has few options. In the nearby forest, she meets Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson) as he's drinking from a fountain at the foot of an old tree. Spotted, she is kidnapped by his older brother Miles (Scott Bairstow) and brought back to the Tuck home. There, she's told by Angus and Mae Tuck (William Hurt and Sissy Spacek) that she cannot leave -not until they are sure she can be trusted with their secret.
It’s hard to talk about why this film isn’t successful without revealing the Tuck family secret but I think the first scene will give you a good hint and saying a little isn’t spoiling too much. They’re immortal. The fountain Jesse drank from? His family discovered it nearly a hundred years earlier. Since then, they haven’t aged a day and are impervious to injury or disease. With that established, let’s dig into the film's problems.
I try to restrain myself from applying real-world logic to fantasy stories. Let’s assume, for example, that the spring only came to be recently - otherwise you’d have invincible Tyrannosaurus Rexes terrorizing the town of Treegap. We’re told the water’s properties also affect animals. Does it mean herds of bullet-proof deer walk around the woods? Too harsh? Fine. Here’s a question. If the Tucks are so worried the nearby townspeople will discover their secret, why are they still living so close to where they were living a century ago? It’s not like they need to drink the water over and over to stay young. Why not leave before the people start wondering why the children never age? If the Tucks are worried the fountain of youth might fall into the wrong hands, why not destroy it?
It’s easy to see what this story wants to do. Winnie is a plain (but rich) girl who wants more than what life offers. She meets a handsome boy. They fall in love but a secret threatens to tear them apart. If he gives her the same water that made him immortal, they could be together FOREVER. Sounds great but as the rest of the family reminds them, immortality might not be all it’s cracked up to be. They’re right in a way. It’s easy to take something for granted when you know there’s no risk of it going away but this film is not smart enough to convince us. It’s like a multi-millionaire complaining that money corrupts and ultimately doesn’t buy happiness. I guarantee you it beats being poor. Miles' woes seem petty. Angus’ observations about what the family’s life has become are unconvincing. If you sat down and really thought about what it would be like to live forever you could come up with far better material than this.
But ultimately, this film is not about philosophical questions. It’s about a romance under threat. Both from real life coming dangerously close to catching up with Winnie and a mysterious man (Ben Kingsley) looking for the Tucks. Unfortunately, you don’t care about the love story. Winnie and Jesse don’t have anything in common, particularly not when you learn the boy is over a hundred years old. What does he want with a teenage girl? At least Edward Cullen had a reason; he was a vampire that could read anyone’s mind except for Bella Swan's. That made her special. What’s special about Winnie? Nothing. Her only noteworthy trait is being so nondescript any teenage girl can effortlessly insert herself into her shoes. It may be enough to make younger viewers overlook the kidnapping stuff and William Hurt’s ear-splitting attempt at an accent.
Tuck Everlasting is the kind of movie you watch when you’re young and then grow out of. Any serious questions about its plot immediately become too much for it to bear. You could do much worse but unlike the Tucks, your time is limited. Don't waste it. (Full-screen version on VHS, April 2, 2020)

Ich denke Justus sieht sich alte Musicalfilme an.
Peter und Bob kommen bei Justus vorbei, der hat und finden ihn im Wohnzimmer vor einem alten Kitschfilm.
Peter: Hey Just wir wollten fragen ob du mit zum Stra- was ist denn das für ein Film?
Bob: Das ist ein alter Musicalfilme, der mäßig erfolgreich war.
Peter: ich hätte nicht gedacht dass du dir solche Filme ansiehst, Erster. Wo bleibt denn deine geistige Stimulation?
Justus: Für heute habe ich mich für emotionale Stimulation entschieden.
Bob: Und eine Liebeskomödien nimmt dich so mit?
Justus: Mit Nichten. 😏 Seht ihr das tanzende Paar hinten links? Die Frau trägt ein grünes Kleid.
Peter: ja Klar. Was ist mit denen?
Justus: Das sind meine Eltern.
Peter: Oh.
Bob: ach so.
Justus: Ich würde heute also lieber nicht zum Strand.
Bob: *setzt sich neben Justus aufs Sofa* ist draußen eh zu warm.
Peter: *setzt sich auf die andere Seite neben Justus* und ohne Jeffrey habe ich keine competition beim Surfen. Worum geht's denn in dem Film?
Justus *lacht überrascht auf* also der Plot ist wirklich etwas verworren. Passt auf....
Sorry for the feels. Ich dachte nur weil Justus' Eltern ja Tänzer waren und in Filmen mitgewirkt haben.
