very good !
i just watched it this morning and thought it was quite an emotional moving film.glad i was up at 6a.m to see it.
shareI hadn't seen it for many years. I watched it this morning and was moved and loved it.
When I saw it years ago, I was very young and I was a big fan of the book. I was disappointed at the time because the book and the movie were very different. Of course they were! But you couldn't tell it to me because I was young and I knew everything.
So now I haven't read the book for many years and watching this excellent movie is going to drive me back to reading it again. Recommend both.
It is unreasonable, in a way, to expect that a film of approximately two hours can capture the sprawling scope of a long novel. "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", "Gone with the Wind", "From Here to Eternity", "The Grapes of Wrath" to name a few, were excellent novels and excellent films and yet distincly different in their approach. We need to take each in its own genre and be able to appreciate the different story-telling techniques each medium uses. Only so much detail can be compressed into the time frame. Even at 3 1/2 hours GWTW left out a tremendous amount of the book's detail. You kind of need to approach each as if the other did not exist.
