TIM was a brilliant,very emotional and heartbreaking film. When i first watched the film. I thought that it was a brilliant romance story and the characters were amazing. Exspecially Piper Laurie who played Mary Hotton. She had to act emotional and she fell in love with Mel Gibson who played Tim. He was a young man he did gardening work for Mary. She had a gardener who had a bad back so he wouldn't be able to come anymore so she employed Tim.They were both amazing characters. My mum used to watch it every day with a lager and lime. When Tim was with his dad in the pub, Tim gobbled his pint down. I also liked his father Alwyn Kurts who played Ron. He took a great part. When Tim's mother had died Pat Evison who played Em. I thought that the scene was depressing, she had died of an heart attack.No one was for her at the time and I thought that it was heartbreaking. When Ron was talking to Mary. Tim starred at Mary in a jealous look. Ron was talking about planning his own death and Tim didn't understand. He was angry and jealous. He ran off in a temper. He said that she isn't paying much attention to him anymore and she hates him. But she replied that it wasn't true. He knew that this would happen. Then Tim started to kiss Mary. I thought how romantic. In one of the scene Tim had asked Mary what is death? And he didn't know what death was until Mary had told him. Because he thought that he would never see his sister Deborah Kennedy who played Dawnie again. I thought that it would be heartbreaking for Mary because she lost her parents. This was the first film that i ever saw her in and she was brilliant. I have seen her in other films. Carrie as Margaret White and Trauma as Adriana Petrescu and she was the killer. But she was great. I thought that MeL Gibson took a great part as Tim but i didn't fancy him. I thought that the film was brilliant but heartbreaking. Luv Gail
