Video

Nicole Kidman??

Original with Dick Van Dyke of course

I know this is a lighthearted video and not like a text analysis of the series! But you had referred to chris as the male love interest and i was just wondering if that was facetious or not! Its my first time watching your channel and i like it but dont know your writing style yet! Just wondering if you did actually view the series as romance or as chris as a love interest because i never got that from the book or the sequel. Like to me it often felt like he was way more into cathy than she was him and the whole point is generational trauma and falling in the footsteps of your parents yk? To where it never read as romance to me but rather like a slow burn thriller or tragedy. Like chris is inevitably the partner she is with but its dysfunctional and tragic and portrayed as such. For example I would say Oliver in call me by your name is the love interest bc despite it being a bittersweet and dysfunctional relationship it is still a romance it is framed as a romance, or i’d say Mr Darcy is the love interest, but i wouldn’t say Wendy Torrance is a romantic lead despite being like the wife of the main character you know? Or Dolores Hayes is not the love interest because the story isnt a romance in reality, its only a romance on paper in Humbert Humbert’s twisted mind but its clear through subtext that Dolores was meant to be seen as a victim. Maybe i am being nit picky but to me theres a different between love interest in a romance story and a romantic partner/object of affection in a Story thats not to be read as a romance. if that makes sense :) Just wanted to know your thoughts on the series as a whole as a fellow lover of the story:)

I love that you are playing the Spirit of Mickey theme song

All great thrillers need a great villain. And the 80's Flowers in the Attic has two of them: Victoria Tennant and Louise Fletcher. Heather Graham looks like a spoiled teenager (not the mother of 4 children), and Ellen Burstyn is too old and feeble to be scary. I give the win to the original.

0:00-1:18 is what I kinda feel about people's criticims with Hilda series 3.

This was very entertaining 😂😂

I personally preferred the ORGINAL version. It was a hell of a lot more scarier. The newer version. Not so much

Lifetime adaptations of V.C. Andrews books just make me want to cry. I like to think that HBO or Amazon would do a better job. I also wish that the family would hire a new ghost writer. The latest books are just a insult to Andrews.

I find it interesting that in both versions Carrie and Cory are already kids at the start. In the book, Cathy finds out that her mom is pregnant and that's why she gets jealous, prompting her dad to give her the music box and ring.

It should start with Garden of Shadows.

Old is definitely better to me. It really made me feel the pain of losing a child.

I was relieved that the images on the ceiling were not in the movie! (Hell!)

It explains Olivia's claustrophobia! She will have a worse time, no food at all! She'll never leave the attic!

I think Corine is the closest to Chris because he is an exact copy of his father.

I always imagined that Jack was bi and Fabriccio was his Italian bottom boy-toy LOL. He was Jack's true love!

I have a mental fan fiction where I mix together the plots of "The Shining" and "Pet Sematary", where there's an Indian burial ground behind the Overlook Hotel and the hotel tricks Jack into kill Danny so that in remorse he'll bury him there and then Danny comes back and kills Wendy LOL

Nice video! Please do more VC Andrews series! = Heaven, Audrina, Dawn, etc... They're all fun. :) also I had a hilarious memory while watching this: when I was about 6-7 I saw the first Flowers movie and also Golden Girls. Being a dumb lil boy I thought all old people looked the same, so I thought Rue the actress who plays Blanche on "Golden Girls" was the grandmother in "Flowers." I thought the VC Andrews kids were locked in Hollingsworth Manor and 'Flowers in the Attic' was somehow Blanche's backstory before she calmed down and moved to Florida to become more promiscuous... LOL

I didn't even know there was a remake

Young man you did an excellent job on this movie comparison bravo 👏

Hi saw both versions ,but like the remake because it stayed closer to the book ,just an opinion ,

My mom had a full time job in the 70s. So did my dad. Neither had a college education. They learned on the job. This is why I get confused by the book, unless the mother just didn’t want to try and wanted to earn her family’s riches and was ok with the masochist way she would have to be with her parents.

I watched the first two Lifetime movies and WOW! They completely butchered the story. The Original left out a key scene for censorship reasons and they changed the ending because they never intended a sequel, but the Lifetime versions were ridiculous. The second one rewrote the story entirely. Total trash. I've read all 9 books and I still love the Original version.

Have you seen An American Christmas Carol? Henry Winkler played Scrooge.

FITA needs to be a ten-part miniseries on tubi or Netflix.

Evil Nick was a great performance

I saw the film before reading the book. After reading book I saw the film again. The book is always better than the film Virginia Andrews wrote about family tragedies I read 2 other novels, Petals On The Wind is a sequel of to Flowers In The Attic

I think the more complex one was much more interesting. Real abusers are more complex. You do see moments of vulnerability in them, and that adds to the emotional side of the abuse. If you only hated your abuser, if you only saw them as a villain, it would be easier to come to terms with it. But instead you have to live with so many complex and complicated emotions.

Lifetime Cory got on my nerves.

Don’t forget, Kiernan Shipka was Sabrina in the Netflix series, the chilling adventures of Sabrina

39:44 Not only would Corrinne have to forfeit everything if it was ever discovered that she had children out of incest but also if she ever had any children with anyone else. Her father really wanted to drive extra nails into her

it's interesting i feel the original had more abuse from the grandmother and didn't show much of the incest story line, but the story with the new one showed more had more abuse from the mother and had showed more of the incest

The latest versions of so-called books by VC Andrews try to ruin the entire flowers in the attic storyline

I like VC Andrews

I didn’t know about the 1987 movie, but after watching the 2014 movie I read the books. I probably won't go watch the 1987 version because it seems like the 2014 followed the books better.

Kristy loses my vote with “EAT THE COOKIE, MOTHER!” It’s as hysterically overacted as Faye Dunaway’s “NO WIRE HANGERS EVVEEERRR!”

I feel at least one reason the original was more brutal than the lifetime version was because of the times. The lifetime version was made during the era of movies/tv where media in general seemed hesitant to show too much violence, especially towards children, especially young children, so that alone softened some of the story's inherit darkness.

What’s your take on the observation that, in the original, it was in Carrie’s mind of seeing the crowd laughing at her when it could’ve been just a few a-holes that were? There were those that did feel shock at what was going on, and then the shots had a kaleidoscope-like effect, symbolizing her mental breaking point.

Victoria Tennant was the original Aunt Lydia in the film version of The Handmaid's Tal e

Col. 3

Christopher Sr. 36th Birthday.

In the Garden of Shadows book you find out that Christopher and Corrine are half siblings as well uncle and niece. And why Olivia (the grandma) is so sour and all

I think each movie is a good representation of the time they were made. The older movie has the characters hollow, heavy on the dramatics. The new movie makes the characters seem more authentic instead of focusing on drama.

I’ve read this book and every other until the orphans series when I was over it…… but to say any of them are my favorite book… no.. let me recommend “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neal Hurston or “The Portrait of Julian Gray” by Oscar Wilde.

Ur voice hasn’t changed much

Nah, this was a no brainer for me. Victoria absolutely sells that rich girl aura in a way Graham never could. I can believe her as an heiress who sells her soul and makes a calculated decision to kill her children.
