The Old Man and the Sea (1990)
This really stinks!!!!!!!!
CAUTION: This is a spoiler warning do not read this if you did not see
the movie!!
I really did not like the movie because it was not really reliable to the story. We read the story just before we saw the movie. It left out a lot of things for example, in the book the old man dreamed about lions and now he is dreaming about his wedding and his childhood. Also, in the book there is nothing about his daughter and in the movie there is a girl who is his daughter. The movie not also good because the Santiago did not have the Cuban accent it was to white of an accent. In the book a lot of things happen and the person who produced the movie left almost everything out. Then when my class and I were watching the movie I almost fell asleep because it was so boring. Then the teacher told us we had to vote at IMDb.com I rated it a 1 because it was not good to me. You might object to my opinion but if you have another one you should post it on the web sit and I would read it. I would not have watched it but since it was at school I had no other choice but to watch it. Some of my classmates did not like the movie and I think they did not like it for the same reason I did not like it for. I think the director just put the movie in his own words because some of the things like I said did not even fit in to the book so if you only saw the movie and then read the book you might think the book is not reliable to the movie and if you read the book and then saw the movie you might think differently.
