Friday night saw Hubby and I watching “My Brilliant Career” on Turner Classic Movies. The story was about the heroine, Sybylla (Judy Davis), a headstrong girl growing up in early 20th century Australia, has the opportunity of marriage to a wealthy young man (Harry played by Sam Niel) whom she loves, but rejects it in order to maintain her independence, preferring to take a job as governess/housekeeper to the family of an illiterate neighbor to whom her father owes money.
The acting was amazing, although we both felt that the end of the movie left us with more questions than answers. Still I find it so interesting to watch movies based in other countries, and written about life in them.
Don’t recall having seen this. If it is not a happy movie I don’t think I could watch it right now, but glad you enjoyed it. Love YOU, Mel
Glad you enjoyed! I loved the idea that she rejected him! I didn’t when I first watched but as I’ve grown older I’ve realised a happy ending is one of your own choosing! Glad you liked it and liked the faraway place I call home!
