Brilliant Film, The Star is the Visual Countryside
I don't know of ANY film that has a word for word adaptation of the original book it is "based on" ... in fact some films say either " based on" or even "inspired by". This does not detract from the film, nor does it detract from the book; it simply means that the end product in book or film is the product of a rich piece of material.Bottom line is that this film is an excellent watch, which will probably inspire you to look at the book.If you are going to be pedantic enough to look at the discrepancies between book and film, or to see how "unbelievable" some of the cliches are, you might want to realise that books and films are different mediums, and a film in a hollywood format is, for the most part, an escapist work, and so is going to be brim full of things that are separate from reality.Anyways, great film, and if you missed it, the Italian Lover is a very famous Italian Cinema star, and is also a co-star in ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR which , imo, shows his diversity.ENJOY.
