The Movie

I did not get to see much of the movie since I had an appointment today during Brit Lit, however I did see enough of the movie to be able to see how the movie dealt with elements of the novel which dont directly transfer to the film. The monologues and lists are spoken directly to the camera, so I feel like it's really similar to the book. If I had not read the book, I really don't think that I would have liked the movie because of the monologues and lists. I just would have thought it was really weird. I feel like the movie did a good job of keeping that sense of the book, because it's really important. I think it's very effective and I am getting the same effect as I do in the book. I like seeing the movie versions usually because putting a face to the character really adds a lot. I think that John Cusack was perfect for this role. He does the whole Rob character so well. With other actors it would have been really weird watching them speak to the camera all the time and the top 5 lists.
