I finally watched this film. I had been waiting to watch it for a while. Since I had read the book before watching the film, I had my own opinions on how the actors, plot, and film should be done. I think it was a creditable attempt. It is always hard to go from reading a book to viewing a film. I did really enjoy the film, and would have probably liked it more it I had not read the book first.
It is that struggle to get all the details of a book into a 2.5 hour film.
