The book unfolded

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2005)

I was quite intrigued when I first decided to see this movie, the first thought that struck my mind was that it would turn out to be a horrible misrepresentation of the original story and that it would bring shame to the cinema world. Little did I realize that once I saw this film, my opinions of movies would change altogether, I no longer judge films just by advertising or hear-say or other people's opinions. I now judge films on there over-all value to the cinema world. I definitely need to point out that this movie is definitely worth its weight in gold as far as its worth to the cinema world, the beauty of the film was literally inspiring, the drama was neither tear-jerking or flooding with emotion that you just get sick. The drama unfolded like a film noir love story, only the fact that it was not portrayed by two "star-crossed" lovers, but by actual countries. That to me at least deserves a 8+ rating in any vote. However the amount of action and cinematography was enough to make the strongest get teary-eyed with its gorgeous point of view. So, overall the movie is worth a lot to the movie world and by far the only thing I can say I didn't like about the film is the way Pitt was defeated, I mean sniped by an arrow by a punk kid that wants love in any form available. Tsk Tsk.
Go watch this movie by any means necessary, I would also recommend buying the DVD as well.
