Product Description

Little Children (DVD)

Academy Award® winner Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind) and Academy Award® nominee Kate Winslet (Finding Neverland) star with Patrick Wilson (Angels in America) in this big-screen adaptation of Tom Perotta's best-selling novel that exposes the turbulent emotional landscape primed to explode just beneath the surface of a quiet suburban neighborhood. A darkly comic, revealing journey through a world both familiar and foreign, this story of marriage, children, desire and infidelity bristles with the keen writing of its acclaimed author (Election) and the direction of Academy Award®-nominated Todd Field (In the Bedroom).

]]>

Amazon.com

Kate Winslet operates at a galaxy-class level in Little Children, Todd Field's gratifyingly grown-up look at unhappy suburbia. Winslet is magnificent, in an Oscar-nominated performance, as a stroller-pushing mom who becomes attracted to a passive househusband (Patrick Wilson). Their slow-burning infidelity (Field wisely allows time to pass in this unhurried film) is contrasted with a more sensational subplot, about a convicted pedophile (Jackie Earle Haley, also Oscar nominated) returning to the neighborhood to live with his mother (Phyllis Somerville). Field, who brought his civilized approach to In the Bedroom, uses a deliberately literary style here, including a device with a narrator who sounds as though he's sitting at our side as he reads from Tom Perotta's novel. (The narrator is a superb touch--his cultivated voice distances us from the sloppy passions of the characters.) The film's biggest miscalculation is a self-appointed neighborhood vigilante (Noah Emmerich) determined to make life miserable for the pedophile. But Wilson is appropriately nebulous, Jennifer Connelly solid as his wife, and Haley (child star of the Bad News Bears movies), as the creepy, childlike molester, found himself rediscovered after a long career layoff. There's decent acting here, but Winslet is in a zone of her own, with so much emotional honesty and subtlety of expression that she transforms a good movie into a must-see. --Robert Horton

A great film that few people know about

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

There's something about this film I love. I think it captures both the angst and beauty of raising young children in suburban America and the difficulty that task brings to bare upon the care-giving adult ego. On the other hand, the film also shows the viciousness adults can act out upon each other in order to either feel accepted by society, or to fulfill personal and compulsive urges without concern for the end result and the damage to loved ones scarred by these actions and deceptions.

When I watch the film, I have tremendous empathy for all the characters both major and minor, sinner and saint. I'm somehow touched by their sins and machinations to try and feel alive, appreciated and even vital. I think this is rare in a film. The third person narrator periodically making an appearance is genius because it creates separation between the characters and the audience allowing the viewer to feel god-like: removed & omniscient and removed, but still lovingly attached. Hence the empathy.

The movie is based upon an excellent novel, but somehow Kate Winslet transports her character on screen, to feel deeper than the one in the book. That's rare.

Watching "Little Children" I recalled "American Beauty", another film that assayed the dark underbelly of Middle America. To me, "American Beauty" was a crass case of male wish fulfillment that at it's heart held it's characters in contempt and resorted to ludicrous stereotypes. "Little Children" is a much more thoughtful film that sympathizes with it's main characters despite their foibles. The film's title is, of course, ironic because it doesn't refer to the tots but rather to their adult caregivers who suffer from varying forms of arrested developement. Kate Winslet gives a superb rendering of an intelligent woman trapped in a loveless marriage looking for direction in her life. Patrick Wilson, as Winslet's paramour, is equally fine as a man in a stale marriage who has yet to commit to career choice. The film's best performance is delivered by Jackie Earle Haley as a sex offender. We sympathize with Haley because he has come to terms with his deviance but is powerless to reign it in. A provocative film that deserved a wider reception than what it received on it's original release. As a footnote I wonder why the company that distributed this disc substituted the original erotic posterwork for the generic photo that appears on the DVD.

Drama and Black Comedy in Suburbia

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2009

"Little Children" is not likely a movie I'm going to watch again and again, but I am glad to have watched it at least once because of the pleasure I derive from watching Kate Winslet play another interesting character. Sometimes, I think her charisma, sex appeal, and force of character are so great, it wouldn't be boring listening to her recite a list of fertilizer ingredients...but then I snap back to reality.

<spoilers>

"Little Children" doesn't have that much of a plot. A bored housewife named Sarah (played by Winslet) with a loser husband "meets cute" with Brad (Todd in the book), a handsome but passive "househusband" who has a beautiful but cold wife. At first, you almost believe that the two characters can pull off what Billy Crystal in "When Harry Met Sally" said was impossible ... a platonic, close friendship, but then there's that moment in the laundry room in Sarah's home that gives the movie a well-deserved R-rating (and several other moments as well).

One lesson people can take away from watching this movie is that sometimes, "good" people can drift into adultery without really meaning to and that it's easy to be caught up in the excitement of the affair, but usually, there's a moment where the lovers return to Earth.

High points for the movie include just about any scene Winslet's character is in and the chemistry she has with the actor playing Brad. That chemistry is present any time they are together and not just when they are having sex.

This being said...the movie is not for everyone's taste. The subplot of the neighborhood being rightly disturbed about the return of a sex offender to the neighborhood has several very unpleasant scenes in it.

Also, it's a bit of reach when the narrator refers to Winslet as being "not that attractive." Despite what People Magazine may say in silly articles titled "the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World," Winslet is not some ravishing beauty like Angelina Jolie. Frankly, I think she is pretty (both as an actress and as the character in this movie) but in a natural and wholesome way. Given the fact that she once again delivers what I think is a faultless American accent, she comes across as an "all-American girl" who looks wonderful in the red swimsuit she purchases on a lark.

There are two points in the story where I found myself wondering "What would happen or people think if the characters in question did this in real life?" The first concerns Brad's habit of staring at some teenagers skateboarding each night while he mourns his lost youth. In real life in a town on edge about a sex offender being in its midst, I have a feeling people would find him doing that rather creepy. The second concerns the ex-cop who discovers that the sex offender has castrated himself and rushes him to a hospital. Given the fact that the ex-cop had been steadily harassing and threatening this man and this was publicly known, I found myself wondering if the first reaction of the authorities might have been to suspect that the ex-cop had done the damage and not the pervert himself.

Another flaw to the storyline is that the plot ends abruptly and we're left wondering what happened to the characters after the main drama ended. The book does provide more details

<differences between the book and the movie>

The book has more detail on both the main characters. In it, Sarah is depicted as being a rather plain looking woman (which makes me think that if they had wanted to be absolutely faithful to the book, someone like Meryl Streep if she had been young enough would have been better for the role...but I didn't find Winslet playing Sarah improbable). We get more details about what a loser Sarah's porn-addicted husband is, and I found myself not very interested in reading about how he went on a pilgrimage to California to meet up with the very strange "Slutty Kay" who became the object of his obsessions. The ex-cop who persecutes the pedophile in the story is also given more dimension as is Mary Ann who is Sarah's antagonist.

The ending is different as well. In the movie, the clear suggestion is that both Sarah and Brad decided that running off together was not a good idea. The movie also showed Brad's wife having strong suspicions of an affair but not certain knowledge (and we see her rushing to her husband's side after he is injured trying a stunt with a skateboard).

In the book, Brad decides after his accident that running off with Sarah would have been a mistake. Sarah, however, is heartbroken when she realizes that Brad doesn't want to divorce his wife and marry her.

Still another important difference is that the pedophile in the book confesses (or at least appears to confess) to a murder of a little girl who was going "to tell on him." This was not in the film. Unlike in the film, he does not castrate himself in an effort to "be a good boy" as his mother asked him to be from her death bed.

<Speculation about What Might Have Happened after the Rather Abrupt Ending>

Despite the fact that Brad and Sarah were "misbehaving" I have to confess I rather liked them as characters and a couple, and I found myself wondering what would have happened (or what I would have liked to have happened after the story ended).

Frankly, I think that Brad might have found out that his marriage was over despite his apparent belief that he could return to his wife after his summer fling had ended. Besides cheating on her, he also had lied to her a great deal about his desire to become a lawyer, culminating in him going off for a weekend with Sarah when he was supposed to have been taking the bar exam. I think it would be much easier to forgive someone who strayed once (a one night stand on a business trip) than forgive someone who engaged in a significant affair and lied a fair amount about it and other things.

As for Sarah, I figure that she might have had her heart temporarily broken by Brad's no-show in the playground, but she'd get over it and get used to being a single mom and hopefully meet some nice guy who was single.

But I suppose the ending after the ending I would have liked to have seen would have been her and Brad finally getting together once the dust had settled from the wreckage of both their marriages.

***

Both the book and movie are well done and thought provoking and worth reading and watching. The DVD comes with no extras or commentary because apparently the people behind it "wanted it that way"...which is pretty inexplicable since the movie was a critical success and hardly something that you'd want to blot out of existence.

Hinter der Fassaden des bürgerlichen Lebens

Eine kleine, typische ostamerikanische Stadt in der Nähe von Boston. Da scheint die Welt (noch) in Ordnung zu sein. Jeder kennt jeden, oder meint über ihm/ihr irgendwas zu wissen. Man kann die Häuser sogar offen lassen, bis....

Nach zwei Jahren in der Psychiatrie kehrt Ronnie McGorvey heim. Er wurde als Exhibitionist verurteilt, und zwar für zwei Jahre. Seine Schuld - er hat sich vor den kleinen Kindern entblößt. Er hat zwar keinem was getan, aber in der puritanischen Gesellschaft ist er ein Monster und man sollte ihn kastrieren. Und man kann sich nie sicher sein.
Die Mütter, die sich jeden Tag in einem kleinen Park mit ihren Sprösslingen treffen, haben jetzt ein Thema. Das andere ist eine von den Müttern, Sarah Pierce (Kate Winslet), die für ihre Tochter Lucy öfter mal die Jause vergisst. Dann sagt eine der Müttern, die NIE was falsch machen, zu ihrem Sohn oder Tochter: 'gib einen Kräcker Lucy, sie hat nichts zu essen'. Es ist eine große Schande solch eine Mutter wie Sarah zu haben.
Dann gibt es noch eine Attraktion. Nach mehreren Wochen kommt in den Park Brad Adamson mit seinem Sohn Aaron, der auf dem Kopf (fast) immer eine Narrenmütze trägt. Oh, wie die Mütter jetzt ihre Position verlagern! Jede möchte sich im besten Licht zeigen, ihre Kinder werden somit auch ein Schauobjekt für den smarten Mann. Sie nennen ihn Ballkönig (Prom King); über ihn wissen sie gar nichts. Es ziemt sich nicht mit einem "fremden" Mann zu sprechen. Als Sarah's Tochter zum Schaukeln will und dort mit Aaron zusammenkommt, ist bei den Müttern die Hölle los. Eine will Sarah 5 USD geben, wenn sie seine Telefonnummer erfährt. Sarah bekommt zwar keine Nummer, aber sie spricht mit Brad, kann den "Damen" über ihm berichten.
Zwischen Sarah und Brad entsteht eine Freundschaft. Sarah, die als zweite Frau eines erfolgreichen Managers wenig zu tun hat, freut sich über die Gespräche mit Brad. Der ist, was für die Stadt unvorstellbar ist, ein Hausmann. Seine Frau Kathy (Jennifer Connelly) arbeitet beim Fernsehen, sie macht Dokumentationen. Brad, ein Jurist, kann die Prüfung für den Anwalt nicht bestehen. Zweimal ist er schon gescheitert, lernen tut er angeblich am Abend in der Bücherei. Er kommt nur nie bis dahin. Wie ein Junge sitzt er auf einem Stein und sieht die Jungendlichen, wie sie mit ihren Skateboard's waghalsige Sprünge machen. Dabei werden seine blaue Augen ganz groß, sie leuchten, man kann sich unschwer vorstellen, wie sehr Brad noch in seiner Jugend steckt. Vielleicht ist er deswegen ein perfekter Vater, als Ehemann - weniger, aber auch Kathy lässt den Sohn im Ehebett schlafen...der Ehe tut das sicher nicht gut.

Man kann sich nur schwer vorstellen, dass viele Menschen in diesem kleinen Ort eine bedeutungsvolle Geschichte haben, die ihr Leben total verändert hat. Ein Polizist (im Ruhestand - er mußte gehen), Larry Hedges (Noah Emmerich), ruft eine Initiative GEGEN Ronnie ins Leben. Er klebt überall Plakate/Flyer mit dem Bild von Ronnie, mit den Fragen, ob sie solchen Menschen in ihrer Nähe haben wollen. Er ist bei einer Footballmanschaft aktiv. Brad sollte dazukommen und jetzt hat er noch eine Aufgabe anstelle von Lernen. Und es muß/soll Larry bei Vertreiben von Ronnie helfen.

Die ruhige kleine Stadt kocht vielmehr über, als man sich denkt. Sarah verliebt sich in Brad und umgekehrt. Sarah's Mann hat spezielle Vorlieben (was man zwar zeigt, nur um noch einen "perversen" Menschen vorzustellen). Man liest Madame Bovary im Lesezirkel und die Jüngste von den Frauen empört sich über die Frau. Für sie ist Emma Bovary ein Flittchen.
Ronnie's Mutter engagiert ein Date für ihren Sohn, der buchstäblich in die Hose geht. Sie liebt ihren Sohn abgöttisch, hat Angst, was er machen wird, wenn sie einmal nicht mehr da ist. Die alte Dame, gespielt von Phyllis Somerville, lebt NUR für ihren Sohn, bemuttert ihn und glaubt an ihn.
Es kann nicht lange so gehen in dieser Stadt. Man munkelt dies und das. Kathy holt ihre Mutter zu sich, weil sie bemerkt hat, dass ihr Mann Sarah zu gerne anschaut. Die Schwiegermutter ist also eine Anstandsdame wie vor 100 Jahren. Sarah' Ehemann kümmert das nicht.
Larry wird von seiner Frau verlassen, die kann nicht mit seinen Dämonen leben...er auch nicht. Ronnie ist mehr wie ein Ventil für den Polizisten, der einen Jungen bei einer Aktion erschossen hat. Ronnie's Mutter kann nicht mehr und bittet ihren Sohn im Brief: 'Ronnie, bitte, sei ein braver Junge... 'Was sie damit anrichtet, konnte sie sich nie vorstellen.

Es ist ein Abend, eine Nacht, in der sich die Stadt verändert. Manche Briefe sind nicht mehr notwendig, manche Leute werden gerettet und andere bekommen noch eine Chance... Die meisten bleiben in ihren Schneckenhäusern so, wie sie seit Jahrzehnten gewohnt sind. Sie werden sich nie verändern, weil sie schon "perfekt" sind.

Was macht den Film so einzigartig? Es ist ein Film über das "gewöhnliche" Leben in einer Stadt, wo man sich langweilt, wo die Frauen von der Emanzipation zwar sprechen, was das Wort bedeutet, das wissen nur die wenigen. Andere glauben, ihre Arbeit ist "als emanzipiert" zu betrachten, wenn die Brote bereitstehen, wenn die Kinder brav sind, sich schön benehmen. Man tut nichts schlimmes, villeicht lässt man die Gedanken zu, aber dann ist Schluss...Die Frauen sind meistens allein, ihre Gesellschaft besteht aus Ehefrauen, deren Männer irgendwo das Geld verdienen. Ihre Aufgabe ist es, einen perfekten Haushalt zu führen.
Nichts soll die Idylle stören. Und wenn schon, dann, bitte, nicht in deren Häusern. Lästern ist erlaubt, aber nur über "fremde" Menschen wie Sarah, teils Brad und natürlich Ronnie... Sie selbst sind unfehlbar.
Mich haben sie an den griechischen Chor in Dramen erinnert. Wie z.B. bei Sophokles sprechen sie alle unisono über die Geschehnisse. Vielleicht ist das übertrieben, wenn man sie auf der Bank sitzen sieht, hat man zwangsläufig diesen Eindruck. Sie sind VOX POPULI, ihre Männer eher die Macher, die Ideen kommen von den Frauen...
Die kleine Stadt wird nie mehr so sein wie gestern. Das erzählt uns auch die Stimme aus dem "off", man kann und darf nicht in der Vergangenheit bleiben. Die Gegenwart ist voll von Überraschungen, die Zukunft kann die Luft reinigen. Die Zeit ist reif dafür..., wie sich das entwickelt wird, man soll warten.

Über die Darsteller/innen schreibe ich nur - FORMIDABLE. Der Regisseur hatte eine glückliche Wahl getroffen. Todd Field ist mehr als Schauspieler bekannt. Mit diesem Film hat er eine sehr gute Story von Tom Perrotta gedreht. Er ließ dem Schriftsteller genügend Freiraum, was dem Film zugute kommt. Bei Winslet, Connelly, Wilson und und hat er bewiesen, dass er gutes Spiel würdigt.
DANKE an meine Vorrezensenten, Ray, Rumburak, aber auch an Doc, der diesen Film nicht so mochte, vielleicht würde er hn beim zweiten Mal... er kann ihn nicht mehr sehen (ich habe noch mit Deinen Augen getan - als Deine Kollegin und Freundin).

Quando qualcuno si deciderà di stampare anche l'edizione italiana (con doppiaggio o sottotitoli italiani) sarà sempre troppo tardi. Questa che ho comprato è un'edizione tedesca Warner con audio e sottotitoli solo inglesi e tedeschi. Peccato. Dò comunque 5 stelle perché il dvd è ugualmente perfetto, ma è una vergogna che un film simile da noi non sia uscito affatto se non in tv.
