different from the book

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2006)

I would have to agree with Marta-63. I guess that I had high expectations because when I found out that they would turn the fabulous book in a movie, I really thought it would depict what I had imagined. There's no need to praise the actors because they were all sublime and thats 10/10 but the storyline and the screenplay was not the same. If you did not read the book, you would have a different interpretation on the movie and some of the scenes were not given emphasis on. One example I was expecting that on the last scene as well that Audrey would find out that the people in the church were his family but I don't think that it was shown on the level that I thought it would be. I don't know if its the direction but I just felt that it was a "commercial" movie and it was not an "art" like the painting included in the film.
