PG 1978 ‧ Fantasy/Indie film ‧ 1h 43m
WATERSHIP DOWN
Someone left a tattered, falling apart paperback in our little library. Its title
Watership Down sounded vaguely familiar so I started reading it.After a while it became
absorbing, even though the premise seemed to be silly, involving rabbits who not only spoke their own language, but one of whom, named Fiver*, could foretell the future – although only approximately.
*Because he was the fifth in the litter when he was born. His older brother, somewhat confusingly named Hazel, eventually became chief rabbit.
The book began its existence as a story told by the author, Richard Adams, to his two young daughters sitting in the backseat as he tried to calm them and keep them less bored during drives in their car. They were so entranced that they insisted that Daddy write the stories down into a book.
It was turned down by the major publishers in England, but a small press took a chance and, strangely, it became a bestseller and then a movie. The movie is available here on YouTube free for those who want to watch.
It was a great success in England, but flopped in America although one notable bit part, a rescuing bird with a Polish Jewish accent(Unfortunately for me, much less prominent in the movie than in the book) was spoken wonderfully by Zero Mostel in his last movie role.

Even though the movie and book are supposed to be for children. They really deal with struggles against a totalitarian society and the attempt to find the basic goodness in people (or at least rabbits) to form a more just community.

Interestingly, and I didn't know this until just a few seconds ago, the movie is being remade in 2017 (above) to make it less violent and scary for children. Is that because our present society is more dangerous or less dangerous than in 1978?
