Christy, Choices of the Heart, Part II: A New Beginning


Drama starring Lauren Lee Smith
-Year: 2001
-Year in film: ~1910s +
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boys ~11-17
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium
-Rating:  5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Some boys and teen boys (about 4-6 boys) in and outside a school in blue and brown bibs. Few scenes at the beginning (at 4 minutes of the first part). I haven't noticed any bibs scenes in part 2.

After having an entry for the 1994 series (rating 6) I also have checked this movie (mini series in 2 parts) which is a sequel of the series, the 1994 movie and the 2000 movie (which both still needs to be checked). Maybe the 1st movie is just the pilot?

As usual I have checked this at high speed (but most parts). One good close up scene of a boy walking outside wearing faded blue bibs (rear view) and some from a distance. In total  probably few good scenes, mainly these headshots of the boys sitting in class.

So the series seems to be much better, of course as 21 episodes can provide more scenes. Not sure about the time setting of this movie. Might be a bit later than the series in 1912. There is also a much older main character in episode 2.

Rating 4-5 for now. For more infos, see the series entry at
