I would like to answer "SadnessNeverGoes" who in 139 words, 8 punctuations and no capital letters whatsoever ecxept the first word "Is", gave it a 2. Are you liveing in the same time as me ?
It might not be a masterpiece - I read the book, and it contained much more of the reality of the times, but the film also contains an awareness that the book lacked. I liked it. I did not like "SadnessNeverGoes".
