GOOD NIGHT , YOU PRINCESS OF MAINE
AND YOU KINGS OF NEW ENGLAND
The story began at an orphanage established in the US Maine in the 1940s .There was always an experienced doctor Wilbur Larch working in the St Cloud's orphanage . One day ,a new baby came to the world . Docotor Wilbur gave him the name Homer Wells. The plot developed with the growing of the baby .

The Boy Holmer Wells
He used to be a lucky baby almost adopted by other family .However one of the families returned off he just because that he “ never makes a sou ,even a crying ”. Another family could make he crying by beating him .Anyway, he could stayed here with Dc.Wilbur and the other nurse and orfhans. He was named Holmer Wells by the Dc.W because----- it was very deep.
I have to commit that Holmer is quite an adorable boy , he always staring blanky , but sometimes he fluid glance . During his child and teenager , peaceful,composed and serene,cause the Dc.W said his heart has problems , he cannot be in an exciting mood .At the and of the film , after Dc.W died from ether, one of the nurses told Homlmer his heart is no problem .It was Dc.W's unwillness that the war sets Holmer apart from his side.Thus aa little selfish lie keeps a pure boy.
Holmer was not really an intelligent boy. But he was a hard-working boy. Holmer was not a thougtful boy .But he was a boy with a magic of bring people wih comfortable .It was easy to get alone with him.Everybody loves him ,included me .However ,Holmer also has a side of obstinate when he said that he is not a surgeon.Althougt Dc.W knew he is indeed a qualified surgeon after Wilbur's years of traning.Yet I believe Holmer was longing for a different life .Because he knew that when he sure he is a surgeon he will be in the limited aera for the rest of time. He didn't want it.
Life always fulls of miracle .A Colonel Wally Wathington and his fiance Candy Kendall drove here for abortion. Then they took this young boy to Kacannif where they lives.

Four Death
I have to say this film is kindness with cruel fact inside.
ONE,a pegenant girl maltreated by a Dc. faint outside St Cloud. in spite of Dc.W's rescue, she and her baby both dead finally in the end.
TOW,a boy named Fuzzy finally dead from respiratory disease.He never have to speak with pant,never have to sleep with medical covers .He is free now
.THREE,black lady working with Holmer was raped by her own father .Then she ran away from apple archard .Her fatthetr –the manager of the apple archard dead from his daughter' stabing .He dead with confession to his daughter.He was wrong ,he was a beast,he was totally not a qualified father .But he had eaten the bad apple he planted. He had atoned for his sin with life. Let's do not look into him anymore.
FOUR,Dc.W's death .he was old enough ,he was the only one dead in peace .He finished his lifetime task .He is a hero rather than a doctor as he said at the beginning of the film.Holmer took over your position ,now you could sleep deeply .May you good willings.May you good health.

Good Night ,You Princess Of Maine
And You Kings of New England
This was the last word of bedtime story .Every evening ,bedtime story read by one person,Holmer ,Dc.W or nurse.But the last word must be said by Dc.W in routine. Then he closed the door and gave a wonderful night to his “kids”.I think that is the special way a surgeon convey his love and caring to all child.

Good Bye ,reader .You princess of Maine and you kings of new England.

The Cider House Rules quotes

  • Fuzzy: I like orange. Should I keep the teeth orange?

  • [We see Homer writing to Dr. Larch and hear the words in his voice as we are shown variously relevant scenes]

    Homer: Dear Dr. Larch. Thank you for your doctor's bag, although it seems that I will not have the occasion to use it, barring some emergency, of course. I am not a doctor. With all due respect to your profession, I'm enjoying my life here. I'm enjoying being a lobsterman and orchardman. In fact, I've never enjoyed myself as much. The truth is, I want to stay here. I believe I'm being of some use.

    [We hear the words Dr. Larch writes back to Homer in response]

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: My Dear Homer: I thought you were over you adolescence - the first time in our lives when we imagine we have something terrible to hide from those who love us. Do you think it's not obvious to us what's happened to you? You've fallen in love, haven't you? By the way, whatever you're up to can't be too good for your heart. Then again, it's the sort of condition that could be made worse by worrying about it, so don't worry about it.

    [the back and forth correspondence continues interwoven with scenes from Homer's life at the time]

    Homer: Dear Dr. Larch, What I'm learning her may not be as important as what I learned from you, but everything is new to me. Yesterday, I learned how to poison mice. Field mice girdle an apple tree; pine mice kill the roots. You use poison oats and poison corn. I know what you have to do. You have to play God. Well, killing mice is as close as I want to come to playing God.

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: Homer, here in St. Cloud's, I have been given the opportunity of playing God or leaving practically everything up to chance. Men and women of conscience should sieze those moments when it's possible to play God. There won't be many. Do I interfere when absolutely helpless women tell me they simply can't have an abortion - that they simply must go through with having another and yet another orphan? I do not. I do not even recommend. I just give them what they want. You are my work of art, Homer. Everything else has been just a job. I don't know if you have a work of art in you, but I know what your job is: you're a doctor.

    Homer: I'm not a doctor.

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: You're going to replace me, Homer. The board of trustees is looking for my replacement.

    Homer: I can't replace you. I'm sorry.

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: "Sorry"? I'm not sorry. Not for anything I've done. I'm not even sorry that I love you.

    [Cut to scene of Dr. Larch sitting on a hospital bed reading Homer's letter. He is crest-fallen and one of his nurses sits down to console him]

    Dr. Wilbur Larch: [Speaking to the nurse] I think we may have lost him to the world.
