Oh romantic-love. I am such a sucker for romance and the idea of a never-ending love. The idea that love conquers all obviously isn’t reality. Speaking of never-ending, have any of you ever read the book or watched the Disney movie Tuck Everlasting? Well here is a brief look into the romantic story that got me watching.
Jesse Tuck is a teenage boy who will never die. He along with the rest of his family drank from a magical stream that cursed him with an endless eternity. Winifred (Winnie) Foster is a curious young girl who is brought up in a family that chooses to shield her from the outside world. She runs away one day and discovered Jesse in the woods. She also discovers his families long his secret that later jeopardizes the secret of the magical spring. This is not only a sweet romance story but also a story of the argument of precious mortality.
Throughout the story Jesse and Winnie develop a great bond and love for each other. Winnie also becomes quite fond of Jesse’s family. She dreams of her life as never ending but in the end she chooses to not drink from the fountain and live her life as normal. Jesse and the Tuck family leave her, and when they return many years later to check on the stream, they find that Winnie has died and the stream was destroyed.
I always like to think what if. What if Winnie would have drank from the stream. Would she and Jesse have lived happily ever after? The ever after part, yes.
