Never compare a book and its adaptation to the screen

Yes,never compare a book and its adaptation to the screen. It doesn't make any sense.
A book , a play is something of its own. The adaptation is another one. What can be suggested in a book or on the stage can't be coped with on the widescreen or if it is , it's by pure luck.
I have not read the book, and even if I read it, this will not prevent me by saying that this movie is splendid. Not only the acting is perfect, but the atmosphere, the way the characters are displayed, the dialog is extremely moving.
The only minor exception to a full perfect result, is due to the end which is impossible in the context of the story's period, but I wont say anymore as it would spoil the film.
