![]() ![]() Questions like: why is Varadamin's mom a fish? Why is Jewel's mom a horse? Why doesn't Darl have a mom? These are sort of answered, just like in the book, but they also seem completely absurd to even ask. There's a lot of important plot points that gets covered, and you barely even have time to realize exactly what it is the characters are saying. Similarly, you could easily watch this entire movie and be completely puzzled by it. You could read the entire book, and have little idea what it's about. But i cant think of anything that the movie left out, or missed, or put it's particular "spin" on, it was all dead on. ![]() Obviously the book is much more long winded, and is filled with long, and often puzzling monologues from all the main characters. I cant think of any other movie that was truer to the source material. In fact, i'm not sure i'd even call it an adaptation. ![]() I was blown away, however, at what a great adaptation it is. ![]() I was almost shocked when i heard that they would be making a movie out of my favorite book, and the fact that James Franco and Danny McBride would be in it did not leave me with a good feeling. ![]()
