A Masterpiece
PostedNovember 22, 2010
MoonflowerNola
from New Orleans
I've read the books and listened to them on audio books more than once. This is the best realization of the books yet. Of course a huge part of it is because they have 5 hours to tell the story instead of 2.5. The film is able to illustrate the themes in greater detail-- ideas about trust, friendship, family solidarity, growing up, evil, questioning evil, etc. The film adds a couple of (small) new things that are delightful and help the film be a better adaptation. The choices that have been made about what to leave out, what to alter, and how to segue between each segment are just exquisite. As the movie ended I was on a natural high, it had so transported me. The intense and scary parts are well supported so a (sensitive) person can really let go into the film. So worthwhile. A masterpiece.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
