READ THE BOOK!!!
How can I put this and not seem too opinionated? READ THE BOOK!!!
This movie is too confusing to watch if you have never read the book. I read the book first. I usually do that and I feel that in many cases (but not all) the book is always better. Usually you don't need to read the book though, to know what is going on. But for this film, I don't see how anyone could understand anything until the last minute if they haven't read the book.
I know I keep saying read the book, but REALLY, this was bewildering to me. I have read and watched pretty much everything Stephen King has done, but this was an insult to his skills. I shouldn't have to sit and explain a Stephen King movie to anyone. It isn't like he makes it difficult to make his stories come alive on film.
Don't get me wrong, the acting was wonderful. Tom was as usual on top of his game. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the other actors make my characters come alive as well. The acting wasn't the problem, it was the way the Director conveyed the plot. You have to wait until the end of the movie before you understand most of the plot. Its not fair really. This could have been a much better film, had they put more time into creatively placing the information for the watcher to gather. You could fall asleep and lose interest before you realize what a wonderful story this really is. So again I must say,,,,if your going to watch this film,,,,,READ THE BOOK!!!!!
I just went to a local Bijou theater to watch this movie again and I cryed and cryed and cryed. I know most of you are not interested in this flick or probably not even the book. I can see that by how many hits you gave me. LOL oh, well. The reason I am updating is because I realized through the woman I took, that maybe you get something different out of it if you don't read the book first. I was so adament that the movie was inadaquet compared to the book, that I overlooked the point of view of a person seeing it for the first time, from their perspective. Now I see for real what that perspective is. It made me cry to let myself go and watch this movie as if never having experienced it before. I don't even expect anyone to read this , let alone click on me for $$$. No, this upgrade was for me. I have been moved and I needed to vent.
