    The middle of this film, when Homer works at the apple farm, should be deleated

    The orphanage is much more believable than the silly sex scenes, which would have been really condemned by the owner of the apple farm. Also, before the 1960's, Blacks led better moral lives than the Whites did.

    Cider House Suggestions

    This is a complicated tale with 2 focal points, an orphanage and a "cider house", residence for migrant apple pickers. Michael Caine is an amoral doctor at the orphanage. He does abortions (1940's), buries dead children on the grounds and trains his successor Toby McGuire, an older orphan, by apprenticeship. This character leaves for awhile and apprentices again as an apple picker. The title refers to the rules of the residence, which the residents cannot read, and are not following. McGuire has an affair with Charlize Theron, who had obtained an abortion from Caine. He disapproves of Caine's abortions, but finds himself doing the same at the cider house. I suppose he discovers that the rules are too difficult to be followed in the real world. McGuire returns to the orphanage and succeeds ...

  • Alike - But Not Alike

    I recieved the movie in the mail before I was quite finished reading The Cider House Rules. I didn't watch the DVD until I had finished the book, and I wondered, as I read, how in the world John Irving could possibly adapt his novel to the screen, which he not only did, but recieved an Academy Award for doing. Not all characters or incidents in the book made it through his adaptation, however. Without those characters and incidents, the movie version of The Cider House Rules is very different from the book. I felt it was lacking in depth, yet the adaptation resulted in a separate entity which, when considered aside from the book, is a powerful, evocative view of a young man's (Tobey Maguire as Homer Wells) search for his place in the world, despite the assumptions of his mentor (Michael ...

  • Love this movie

    One of my favorites, had to have it for the DVD library. Both Tobey Maguire and Michael Caine are superb. Heck, all of the main players gave wonderful performances. The beautiful Charlize Theron, Kathy Baker, Delroy Lindo and newcomer Erykah Badu, all of them--just fantastic. Set in a beautiful area, and is just a very good story with awesome characters that you truly end up caring about. It definitely has it's tear-jerker scenes, but then some of the best movies do. I never tire of watching this one. Must read the book eventually. Do check this one out. If you like a beautifully crafted drama, you won't be disappointed. :)

  • Coming of Age Tale

    We meet a young orphan from the time of his birth at a home for unwed mothers and their offspring. Irving can take a simple story and make it multi-faceted, as in the tradition of 19th Century writers like Dickens and Trollope. But the setting is 1940s lobster country, in Maine, isolated and rugged as the characters themselves. The black work crew that harvests apple crops figures heavily into the work, treated sensitively and respectfully by the author. That the young man ascends way past his expectations makes the ending fulfilling. Michael Caine's portrayal of the orphanage director is superb.
