LASSIE.<\/p>\n<p>Meet the Carraclough family &#8211; Sam, Sarah and 9 year old Joe.\u00a0 Living in rural Britain, WWII is on the horizon.\u00a0 The British economy is hard-pressed and coal miner Joe is having a hard time keeping food on the family table.\u00a0 Spending long hours away from home at the local coal mine, it\u2019s a comfort to know his son has a friend &#8211; his collie Lassie.\u00a0\u00a0 No matter how hard the times or how long the hours, there is always Lassie.\u00a0 A loyal and loving friend, companion and family member, her devotion and affection is unparalleled and can make the darkest dawn look bright as the sunniest day.\u00a0 Sadly, Sam soon gets word that the coal mine is closing because of the impending war.\u00a0\u00a0 Unable to scrape together enough money to put any more food on the table, a decision has to be made.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7247\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/lassie_4-400x264.jpg\" alt=\"lassie_4\" width=\"400\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/lassie_4-400x264.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/lassie_4-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/lassie_4.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the tracks, young Cilla is forced to evacuate London and move in with her stately grandfather, The Duke of Rudling.\u00a0 Hoping to make his granddaughter happy and take her mind off being separated from her parents, The Duke offers to buy Lassie from the Carracloughs as a gift for his granddaughter.\u00a0 With a substantial sum of money on the table, Sam is forced to face the fact that he has no other choice.\u00a0 He must take the money and sell Lassie in order to save his family.\u00a0 Lassie, however, has other ideas and refuses to go with the Duke.\u00a0 She knows she\u2019s loved.\u00a0 She knows she\u2019s wanted.\u00a0 She\u2019s knows this is her home.\u00a0 As the only way to get her to go, young Joe is forced to tearfully chastise Lassie and push her away as being a \u201cbad dog.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Only then, does Lassie finally go off with the Duke.<\/p>\n<p>But for Lassie, now living in the lap of luxury doesn\u2019t necessarily mean living with love and kindness.\u00a0 Seems the Duke\u2019s kennel master Hynes, has a nasty habit of physically abusing Lassie every chance he gets.\u00a0 Lassie, however, being the most intelligent dog around and ALWAYS able to outsmart any human, makes every effort to escape and return to her family.\u00a0\u00a0 But, no matter how hard she tries, she eventually gets caught and is forced back to the Duke\u2019s kennel and the evil hand of Hynes.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it\u2019s not long though before the Duke has Lassie moved to his castle in Scotland.\u00a0 But despite the distance from \u201chome\u201d, Lassie once again escapes, intent on finding her way home and to the little boy that loves her.<\/p>\n<p>Adventurous to the core, Lassie endeavors to make her way back to her family, all the while running\u00a0 into dog catchers, puppeteers, rich men, poor men, and even the Loch Ness Monster!\u00a0 Does she find her way back to Joe?\u00a0 Does the Duke reclaim her?\u00a0 Do the dog catchers get her?<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Mason is absolutely adorable as young Joe.\u00a0 With every grin, every smile, every tear and every hug, he is \u201cevery kid\u201d.\u00a0 A boy and his dog.\u00a0\u00a0 Peter O\u2019Toole is, of course, exquisite as the distinguished Duke.

A direct descendent of the original Weatherwax trained Lassie (real name Pal), 8 year old Lassie The Ninth is every bit the star.\u00a0 I recently had a chance to speak with Lassie herself and let me tell you, she is thrilled about this movie.\u00a0\u00a0 Handshaking, tail wagging but always the gracious lady, it was a thrill to meet her. Sure, the pampering and star treatment was great, but according to Lassie, there was also a lot of hard work &#8211; and blow drying.\u00a0 Take for instance, her swim across Loch Ness.\u00a0 According to Lassie\u2019s trainer Carol Riggins (having trained Lassies 7, 8 and now 9), this was perhaps the most difficult part of the shoot because Collie\u2019s aren\u2019t known for being water dogs.\u00a0 Lacking more \u201cwebbing between their feet and more fat on their body to insulate them\u201d, cold water makes their muscles stiff, just like with humans.\u00a0\u00a0 But it is Lassie\u2019s joyous nature, boundless energy, pride and gentle loving spirt that make her special.\u00a0\u00a0 She steals not only ever scene, but everyone\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n<p>Written and directed by Charles Sturridge based on Eric Knight\u2019s original novel, he returns Lassie to the place where it all began some 66 years ago.\u00a0 He spares nothing when it comes to tugging at the heart strings.\u00a0 From sweeping helicopter shots of Lassie high atop a mountain, to intimate family settings or the tear-jerking separation of Lassie from her family, there is not a single shot that doesn\u2019t evoke waves of emotion.\u00a0\u00a0 (This is a definite 5 hankie flick.)\u00a0 One shortcoming, however, are narratives intercuts that are at times disjointed and feel emotionally amputating.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, there is an old-fashioned heartfelt elegance, tenderness and warmth to the film, whose aged patina warms you like a cup of cocoa on a winter\u2019s day thanks to the work of cinematographer Howard Atherton.\u00a0\u00a0 With minimal, if any CGI, Sturridge concentrates on emotional storytelling and Lassie\u2019s\u00a0 life lessons that resonate long after the final credits roll.<\/p>\n<p>Although timeless, this is a definite period piece. Under the watchful eye of production designer John Paul Kelly, the attention to detail and authenticity on the part of\u00a0 art direction, costuming and make-up all blend into a beautiful canvas of 1940&#8217;s British Isles.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And Adrian Johnston\u2019s score does much with ever present yet understated beating of the drums to signal the sounds of war.<\/p>\n<p>In time honored tradition, Lassie the Ninth proudly brings her legacy into the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century.\u00a0\u00a0 There is nothing better than a boy and his dog (or a girl and her dog).\u00a0 Lassie has finally come home &#8211;\u00a0 Come home to the big screen and back into our hearts where she belongs.<\/p>\n<p>Lassie: Lassie the Ninth<\/p>\n<p>The Duke: Peter O\u2019Toole<\/p>\n<p>Joe Carraclough: Jonathan Mason<\/p>\n<p>Hynes: Steve Pemberton<\/p>\n<p>Written and Directed by Charles Sturridge.\u00a0\u00a0 Rated PG.\u00a0 (100 min)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: debbie lynn elias After attending a packed screening filled with my colleagues and their children, and after being relayed messages of elation, exuberance and awe from my princely nephews Eddie and Tommy, there was absolutely no doubt in my mind (or that of my nephews) as to which movie I would be reviewing for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7249,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movies","category-reviews"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
