AN AWFULLY BIG ADVENTURE

(1995)

 

                              This movie directed by Mike Newell ("Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire") in 1995, relates the story of a 16 years-old-girl, Stella, in the Liverpool of 1947, who join a theater group as assistant and extra. Stella (Georgina Cates) lives at her uncle and aunt's. After joining the group, she fell in love with the director, Meredith Potter (Hugh Grant), a young man not very nice with people. The actors want to play "Peter Pan", so they must find a Captain Hook. They found him with  P.L. O' Hara (Alan Rickman), a quite famous actor, who came back to town at this moment, after the theater employee request. P.L seems to be a man worried by his past and he's alone. He seems to know Meredith too, and a woman of the theatre is attracted by him. P.L and Stella begin to have an affair, even though their age difference, but she doesn't give a damn about his feelings and tells him that she loved Meredith. If you want to know the end, highlight the following sentences :) After going to Stella's home, P.L O' Hara learnt, because of Stella's uncle and aunt, that she was his daughter. He was totally devastated by the news, and drowned after falling from a boat deck :(

                                    "An awfully big adventure" is the adaptation of the novel by Beryl Bainbridge. It's a really good movie, with great actors. However, I didn't like much Stella's character, she isn't really nice with PL and she has a psychological problem. The end is very surprising and sad. Alan is wonderful in the P.L. O' Hara character, he's really distressing at the end, he makes us crying, even though at other moments, he's very funny. It's funny too watching him to say "Potter" in another movie than "Harry Potter" lol
