Not only that, but Rachel has left the villa. And when he makes it to the villa Sangalletti, he learns that Ambrose has already died. And so, being concerned, Phillip books it (as fast as a non-plane invented epoch can book it) to Italy. While receiving the letters from his guardian/father Ambrose, Phillip began to get a very shady feeling about this Rachel woman whom Ambrose had “fallen in love with.” Some of his letters were frightened. Because Rachel is the woman that “Fell In Love” with Ambrose while he was in Italy. )Īs I said in the intro, the movie concerns itself on this whole Rachel business. So what that means is, if you’ve not seen this movie… respectfully depart. Ok? Because that’ll be the only way to get to the bottom of what actually happened in this movie. is spoil movies for people… I plan to walk you through what actually happened in this movie, and then I’ll walk you through what happened in both Phillip’s head, and Rachel’s head. So, because this movie is so good, and because basically all I do here on THiNC. Haven’t seen the movie yet? You can watch it right here in one of the superlative streaming locations: Have you seen it?!? Do you realize what you are missing here people… here, watch this: The entirety of the movie is 100% about the ambiguity between that love bit, and that dead bit. But Philip begins getting reports back that Ambrose is in love… oh, and then dead. Being single his whole life, Ambrose had never concerned himself with the need for a wife.
Ambrose, through an illness, heads off to Italy to convalesce. Generally, the movie is about Ambrose Ashley, an owner of a large estate who is caring for his orphaned cousin Philip. I honestly didn’t expect it to be a film I would talk about here. (Wait, what? I have no idea.) And that’s what we have today with My Cousin Rachel.
The bottom line is, no matter how a movie is dressed up, or what genre it finds itself ensconced in, there is always the potential that it might right hook you out of left field. Which, I probably ought to add My Cousin Rachel to that list retroactively. And I even enjoyed Lady Macbeth so much that I compiled a list of movies similar to it. I mean, look at Lady Macbeth! That is exactly the sort of movie we have here with My Cousin Rachel. Ok, how about this? Just because a movie is a period piece doesn’t mean that it can’t be a mental mindjob through and through. Nope, that was even worse than my former intro. Just because a movie is all skirts and lace doesn’t mean it isn’t awful. I am not necessarily the Downton Abbey type.
