Enders movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2013)

Reading Enders game over 10 years ago in high school, this movie has brought me back. As rich as the book is in all its philosophical concepts and thought provoking actions, the movie encapsulates some of that.
Ender's character is a tactical genius, yet has the empathy and emotions of human. This causes a lot of internal conflicts between his actions and the morality behind it. In the movie, it captures this. He cries and his eyes get red after fights. But the scenes were subtle. The book on the other hand, had pages and pages of all his feeling and thoughts. I could relate to Ender in the book. I had a hard time connecting with him in the movie.
In the end, it brought the book together as a complete movie. I just know the movie is supposed to be deeper. Deeper conceptually, philosophically and emotionally, but that's because I read the book.
