I was asking myself when I wrote this why I still like the film so much, because I do have issues with it (although I don't mind Simon - I think it's Cassandra's feelings, and Rose's, that matter and he and Neil kind of don't really, but then I don't actively hate him, that would be off-putting) but I just always end up watching it again - and then of course, re-reading the book to get the second half right! You're right, though, they take the romance much too seriously. I suppose it would be hard to do otherwise - but it is so much about the experience of being in love for the first time rather than the romance itself and the book doesn't lose the humour.

And yet I just love it. I don't know, what can I say?

Feelings about I Capture the Castle are perfectly understandable! It would be a sad thing to have read it and remained unmoved. ♥
