MN Poll: Showing Digory's Mother

Both at the end and during the story. FotF did it well. I think she lost hope and that's why she didn't want to eat neither take medicine or sleep so in the film there should be a scene where we see that.

I think she should be shown in the beginning and end. While in the book there is a lot of time for Digory to show how despairing he and his mother are about his situation, it might not work cinematically. If they showed her in the beginning looking deathly ill, it would provoke sympathy for both her and Digory.
