Just a reminder that I am looking for everyone to enter into a virtual conversation about the Stone Angel film. Jessica has provided a shining example of how to approach the topic. She's fairly critical but supports her remarks well with detailed references to both the film and the novel.
Is there anyone who would like to take a more favorable stance?
All I'm looking for would be a remark or two about some of the differences between the film and the novel, along with a consideration of what Skogland (the director) both loses and gains by making the changes.
It struck me while viewing last night that there may have been a scene or two that Laurence herself might have wholeheartedly applauded, like the scene where John lies down under the oncoming train. I think that's one of the best scenes I've seen in any number of films.
What do the rest of you think? Is it too much?
