Does justice to the book

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2014)

I had a strange experience with this movie. I watched the movie first. Thought it was very good. Was prompted to read the book by David Mitchell. Thought the book was better than the film. Then watched the movie again and thought it was, well, if not better  at least doing justice to the book. I think I will enter an infinite loop here, worthy of some of the characters, and continue reading the book and then watching the movie. It is quite simply a masterpiece of cinematography  truly excellent. Watch this as one of those movies that could just change your life. Ignore the issues during the first ten minutes when you will NOT understand a word of Tom Hanks' babel  but stay the course and it will be worth every second. I am ranting now, but the sentiment it real  an amazing movie!
