The Burden of Legacy and Love
Quotes about Manon des Sources: [[w:Emmanuelle Beart|Emmanuelle Beart]
Montand's plot against the hunchback was incredibly cruel, but the movie was at pains to explain that Montand was not gratuitously evil. His most important values centered on the continuity of land and family, and in his mind his plot against Depardieu was justified by the need to defend the land against an "outsider." As Manon of the Spring opens, some years later, the unmarried and childless Montand is encouraging his nephew to find a woman and marry, so that the family name can be continued. The nephew already has a bride in mind: the beautiful Manon (]), daughter of the dead man, who tends goats on the mountainside and lives in poverty, although she has received a good education.
