...and enjoyed the film.While it won't garner any Academy Award nominations, I found it interesting and well done, given the difficulty of translating the book to film.
Certainly they took some shortcuts - how many books have seen translated literally word for word into a film?
But the result is fairly true to the book - which is why the Catholic Church called for a boycott.
Follow Ups:
actings are robotic... cutting/editing managed to put in some trash into the movie.... sound/effects are so so only...it's a MOVIE and no "movie languages" were used above a average standard at all..
"Snow Falling on Cedars" and "Mystic River" are extremely close to their reapective books.
...IMO, the film failed to capture the poetic, lyrical feeling the book conveyed.
