I left the theater thinking the film was phenomenal, but the more I think about it (especially in relation to the short story), I'm not as high on it as I originally was. Perhaps you should wait for the DVD. It's a phenomenal-looking movie, which is party worth the price of admission.Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08318633423894546202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809167151867491968.post-42429505057885218212009-01-03T10:54:00.000-06:002009-01-03T10:54:00.000-06:00Thanks for the review Jamie...I've been skimming other reviews and most have taken a black/white viewpoint - either loving the cheesy emotions or tearing the film down for being overly long and melodramatic.<BR/><BR/>I'm still on the fence about seeing it - I like Fincher and it sounds like the film looks gorgeous, but it feels like it could be a bit of a slog...<BR/><BR/>Interesting points about the changes made. I have to guess that some studio exec said "Do whatever you want, but change the name Hildegarde!"<BR/><BR/>I like your comment about middle age - since I'm in it right now, I would tend to agree...B-)Bob Turnbullhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.com
