I dunno, why would anyone send a child they loved to a continent away from the one where a war was being fought?

I don't really like the movie or the book, but that part wasn't a plothole.

... you do understand that in the early 1900s, traveling overseas from England was complicated and rather dangerous, right? And that it was also an investment of time and money that most parents couldn't afford, no matter how much they loved their children?

Even in WWII (vs. WWI era where the movie was set), evacuating children from dangerous places usually meant from English cities to the English countryside, not overseas and certainly not to the U.S. - for the exact same reasons why this was not a practical solution in WWI.

Sara's dad was really, really rich at the beginning, though. Most parents couldn't afford half the stuff she got.

[(Anonymous)]

Being really, really rich doesn't negate the danger issue. Also, rich British people tend to send their kids to posh British schools for the social networking, not American ones.

[(Anonymous)]

Sara was sent to that specific school because her mother had attended it.

[(Anonymous)]

About 3000 kids were evacuated to the US during WWII, and another 7000 or so to Canada. The main reason they didn't send more was that the Germans were totally cool with torpedoing ships full of refugee children. The Brits pretty much decided to keep the kids in Europe after the Volendam went down.

With that said, child evacuation as a concept wasn't really a thing in WWI, and Captain Crewe joined up at the start of it when people were still mostly optimistic that it was going to be over quickly and fairly painlessly. Setting the movie in NYC was just silly.

Have you actually read the book or seen the movie? Sara was already in India, which is pretty far from where the major battles of WWI were fought. There was no need to move her to the U.S. for that reason and risk a long, potentially hazardous sea voyage to New York.

In other words, yeah, it was kind of a plot hole.

[(Anonymous)]

Her mother went to the school, which is why Sara was sent there. There's a scene in which she sees her mother's photograph on the wall.

Except in the book her mother *didn't*, so - meh.

[arcadiaego]

Not a plothole exactly but weren't Sarah and her father Anglo Indian? Those children were almost always sent back to British schools.

[tabaqui]

Yes. And her mother didn't go to school in New York.
