RE: We'll just have to disagree. Your points about Herzog's

Okay, so you apparently believe their participation has probably watered down the telling of the story. As a fan of the book and now a fan of the movie I don't believe it did... or if it did, it didn't negatively effect the films impact on me.

One thing's for sure... SP didn't invent girlfriends or love stories or rescue attempts or reams of dialogue that were pure specualtion... or make the parents heroic or evil, etc., etc. As Clark noted there are a few minutes of the film that are a bit too epic (and yet his was, in its way, an epic journey in regards to the sights he saw and the experiences he had) but for me that was easily forgiven for getting the feeling so right.

As a side note... that you - without reading the book or seeing the film - have turned the fact that the family was involved (which was a prerequisite to get the rights of the book) into a lack of integrity on SP's part is just weird.
