hoping to answer some questions

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2009)

Having read the books first and then seen the film I feel I have an advantage, to be honest I always try to read books first. I have just read some of the comments and they seem to be very personal, as in personally what they think of the subject matter. May I remind them that the film is based on fictional novels and that they should try to enjoy! A little bit of myth, fiction, history and contemporary life is a perfect ingredient, especially when well written. Some viewers do not seem to realise that a novel cannot be made into a film, all 300 odd pages that is, unless they want to spend several days in the cinema. Most adverse remarks from viewers make me think they are not actually watching and/or listening but just seeing. I love films and books, and we all have our own personal taste. Not good or bad just what we like.
