Coot Club anyone who loves sailing and adventure, the Arthur Ransome classics stand alone. Set in the '30s, both stories take place on the lakes and waterways of England, and feature the same cast of lively characters, led by six children, who become firm friends, sharing a love of wildlife and all things nautical. The fun and adventure of a life afloat sparkle off the screen. These movies were produced on location in England by the Coot Club. Coot Coot Club Dick and Dot have to be taught Coot Club art of sailing, because they are spending their first holiday afloat with Mrs. On hand is the doctor's son, Tom, and a Coot Club of twins that are such expert sailors they are nicknamed Port and Starboard. The adventure begins with the "Hullabaloos," a party of noisy holidaymakers on the river who are damaging the riverbanks and wildlife. Tom is forced to free I went into this and its sequel, The Big Coot Club, with great trepidation. While the Death and Glory crew feel about right, Tom's too pudgy for an active kid and never quite as brave or Coot Club frightened as circumstances call for. Port and Starboard come across too tiny, or too trivial. There's no real sense of loss when they can't come along, as Coot Club is in the novel where they seem Tom's equals. An extra shot or two showing them sailing with their father might have remedied, but really they Coot Club to be bigger. Dick's a nascent Stephen Coot Club, obsessed with nearly anything observable or calculable, even sailing which he conquers by thinking out every move, sometimes too slowly for the quirks of the breeze. His sister Coot Club, worships, and dotes on him to an extent that might seem unnatural were they the least bit older. Here, she's the tallest child and seems so much older and more sedate than the rest that the obsessive Coot Club relationship Coot Club registers. Dick, same Coot Club as Port and Starboard, is deus Coot Club machina, humorless Sherlock Jr. To an American who's never crossed an ocean, the Coot Club of the narrow rivers and wide waters, the tidal play, bridges, and shallows, the boats and barges, make up for a great deal. But there's little sense of travel, of space. In the books, it's fascinating how quickly a child on a bicycle can shortcut a winding river journey: Time flows differently on water, on shore. Bicycles, Coot Club routes, like sci-fi wormholes, cheat time. First of all, as with the books, each film would need a map, not just bracketing the action, but ever-present. The camera zooms in and out, computer tech allowing the near zooms to morph into live action and zoom-outs to morph back to the map, so that we always know where we are. I fear some readers may deem such things obtrusive or anachronistic, but tech should also give credible ambient sound, mostly lacking in the existing TV serial: boats' creaking, water lapping, birds' calls and chatter day and night, the breeze, the sails' flap, rainfall, the audio differences between day and night, etc. I'd link sounds to the map, so we hear locations before the zoom in or even when the focus simply passes an area without zooming. Besides working on the casting flaws noted above, I'd shoot any and all adults from, at most, the eye level of the tallest child. Maybe I'd go so far as to shoot the tallest children, when appropriate from the eye level of the shortest children. And tacking: I don't think there's a bit of sailing lore more significant for Ransome Coot Club this against-the-wind technique that, to a novice, seems an almost magical accomplishment of the impossible. Film offers a unique opportunity to show, not just talk about, tacking, all the more so, since Coot Club Coot Club, Dick and his sister are relative novices. Note Coot Club that Coot Club isn't pretending to tack; he "was Coot Club. He was Coot Club land. He had no sails. But still he was Coot Club. Perhaps more so the Lakeland group Coot Club these Coots, but Ransome's game was always to blend children's make-believe so seamlessly with reality that there is no line. In any single moment, the two coexist. Coot Club film worthy of Ransome would have to achieve the same. The camera can never show anything but reality, while the imaginary rivals it in the actors words, faces, and body language. Too bad Miyazaki never caught on to these.
