The most close to a novel film

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2002)

I like more reading than watching movies and, most often I get disgusted by the screenplay of the movie. I know, you'll never get satisfied by a movie after you've read the book, because you have your very own idea of the places, the characters and so on *but* you can still say "well, it's well done". I think a good film is when leaves intact the message of the book. A horrible film, in this way of looking at, is Jurassic Park. The message is simply absent. And, worst of all, the screenplay was by the author...
In Lord Of The Rings the message - except for some awful "American movie style" love and war scenes, but very few - is preserved and arrives intact to the spectator. The scenes are wonderful and the use of "bells and whistles" is a perfect fit for the movie.
Yes, a lot of things are missing, but I'm still satisfied. A lot.
I'm sorry for my English :)
