Excellent adaption of a great book.

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2008)

After watching this wonderful film, I was left with only two questions, why the limited release and when will it be out on DVD. This is a heart touching film with spectacular shots based on a very well written book. Its a film that after watching you want to go out and tell all your friends and family to see. Unfortunately most of them around me will have to drive several hours to see it. The film seems to follow the story line of the book closely, or at least close enough that the fog of several years makes up for it. Although some of the imagery from the book is missing (Aka you still have to read the book for that literature class), it would be impossible to include the depth of the book. The film is very well put together and running sounds and images help it stay whole.
Over all a very good movie and one that is worth a second watch at the theater and well worth the drive! On some level I think the film wouldn't be worth watching in a normal theater, the audience in the theater where i watched it seemed both in aw and reverence to the film, you could hear a pin drop.
