Woah!

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2007)

I just saw this movie for the first time. I read the book about a year ago and i am glad i waited to see the movie. Although the movie is a bit different from the book, it is one of the best screen adaptations i have ever seen (along with Mystic River) and i am awed all over again by the underlying message in this movie!I am thrilled that i have to read this again in High School simply so i can make sure i have gathered everything there is to get out of both the book and the movie. This is definitely a timeless classic that will be kept in my collection forever. Even my younger brother who usually has no tolerance for movies like this, much less something in black and white, sat through it and actually got something from it. I would watch this movie 100 more times.
