TUCK EVERLASTING
Get well-prepared to share your thoughts about this movie (from a parent's perspective too).
Natalie Babbitt’s award winning book for children comes to the screen in a lavish adaptation from Walt Disney Pictures. But for more mature viewers, the movie offers some food for thought: if you had the choice to live forever, would you? Winnie Foster (is a girl in her early teens growing up in the small rural town of Winesap in 1914. Winnie's parents are loving but overprotective, and Winnie longs for a life of greater freedom and adventure. One day, while exploring the nearby woods, Winnie gets lost, but she has the good fortune to happen upon the Tuck Family, who live nearby - mother Mae, father Angus, and sons Jesse and Miles. The Tucks are warm and caring people, and Winnie feels right at home with them; she also finds herself developing a serious crush on (be infatuated with) Jesse, and isn't so sure she wants to return; meanwhile, her parents become increasingly distraught (very worried and upset) as they search for their missing daughter. But in time Winnie discovers there's a secret behind the seemingly idyllic lives of the Tuck Family; they have discovered a magical spring on their property, and anyone who drinks from it will never grow old and never die. While to Winnie this sounds like a wonderful prospect, the Tucks have come to understand this is as much of a curse as a blessing, especially when she realizes Jesse is considerably older than she is. The Tucks also have to contend with the presence of the sinister Man In The Yellow Suit, who wishes to buy their property and make a fortune from their "fountain of youth."
The Tucks have mixed feelings about living forever. Use the chart to note their attitudes about
what has happened in their lives since they drank from the spring. In the second column, sum-
Marize in a few words their feelings about living forever.
