Hee hee. ;-) I wonder if you will like it more or less after seeing it again? Maybe if you accept it on its own terms, it's a different experience. You know, separate the book from the movie in your mind. I couldn't do it on a first viewing.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968119212183039679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30350133.post-31872392280713112122009-08-21T15:13:06.347-04:002009-08-21T15:13:06.347-04:00i've had a revelation since stepping back from...i've had a revelation since stepping back from the movie now - i didn't like it! all of the emotional response i had to scenes was echoing my love for those scenes IN THE BOOK. gomez was indeed lost. the dynamic of the friendship of all of them was non-present. im angry about ingrid being cut. i felt her role with henry was really important as was a more graphic heartbreak at all the miscarriages. the new years party was indeed a VERY PATHETIC take on the book version. i expected more... i dont know. just MORE. i had that scene so so clearly in my head. <br /><br />and maybe that is the problem/best thing about this whole situation. the book generated such an amazing collection of mental pictures. it was as if i had already seen it in my mind. the book was so good in my opinion that no one should have tried to make it into a movie, however people being who they are someone was bound to "go there".<br /><br />i do not think there is pleasing me too. however i will go see it again. maybe im a glutton for punishment.Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520966443612804862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30350133.post-44219199188109153552009-08-21T15:08:44.387-04:002009-08-21T15:08:44.387-04:00The Time Traveler's Wife is my favorite too! ...The Time Traveler's Wife is my favorite too! But I really hated the movie. I went last weekend (like you, by myself) and I was so looking forward to a lovely date w/ myself, but wow. I just didn't like it at all. I thought the Gomez character lost SO much, and that storyline was really important to the book. Also what about how they were supposed to make Kendrick believe them (predicting the DS baby, remember) and Henry's love of punk music, and the scene where the high school a-hole had burned Clare w/a cigarette and Henry kicked his butt. I mean, I know they can't leave everything in, but I think they could have done better. Plus everything just looked really cold and lonely to me - like at the New Year's Eve party at the end, it was supposed to be a joyful scene overflowing with everyone in Henry's life, but instead it looked really dark and not like a fun scene at all. All the personality was drained out of everyone. :-( I have read the book like five times though, so maybe there is just no pleasing me.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968119212183039679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30350133.post-6131396125002774202009-08-20T12:27:49.345-04:002009-08-20T12:27:49.345-04:00Man, your kids look so much a like!Man, your kids look so much a like!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599778830910021344noreply@blogger.com
