I know right? it's crazy. I know it's a well respected movie as well, so the problem is solely with myself, not on the movie. Talented cast, great source material, great scores on websites. I know that it's a great movie.

It was the first movie I watched after reading the book, and I suppose I had all of these scenes illustrated in my head while reading the book. I paced the dialogue and illustrated the characters as I saw fit. And for some reason I just remember having such a negative reaction to watching the film, maybe because I didn't agree with the visualization of the story? Also, it didn't help that I didn't feel any suspense from knowing what was going to happen... the film just felt like a novelty tourist visit to see the "picture adaptation of the words."

=(

I generally have a pretty good taste in movies. But maybe it was something with that class. Another movie we watched that I hated was Last of the Mohicans (which I know is supposed to be very good). We were assigned a project to watch it in class and note every single mistake/illogical/ridiculous note in the movie... and that kind of poisoned the experience for me.

Maybe that teacher was just an asshole I dunno~~
