• Gwen, the book is written very well and while I loved the movie, I enjoyed the book so much more. But then again, I enjoy my own imagination far more than Hollywood's which is why I would likely never watch Outlander-even if they do make a film. I loved the LOTR books and it took me years before I would agree to see the movie. (NT) -- Keira, 14:20:45 01/02/10 Sat
  • Keira, I just reread what I wrote earlier. I meant to say, that in perusing websites where the public weighs in, it seems people prefer the movie over the book. The edge is slight, but it's there. You say you like the book better. (NT) -- Lemora - clarity, clarity!, 16:22:50 01/02/10 Sat
    • Hey Lemora, yes I liked the book better but thought the movie was very well done. I just happen to love the written word and the movie often leaves out very enjoyable bits-as well as takes licence to change the ending, lol. (NT) -- Keira, 18:20:30 01/02/10 Sat

• Gwen, the film affects me that way too. The tears roll from the minute it starts until the ending! Sometimes, I don't watch it, because I just don't want to be put through the wringer. It was one of the last movies I took my parents to when it was in theatres, and since they are of the "Allie and Noah" generation and mom died last year and dad has dementia (but he still misses her --that he remembers) I know reality is affecting the way I process the film, emotionally. All the actors were wonderful. James Garner has always been fabulous --one of the most underrated actors around, bar none. (Gwen and Keira) >>>>> -- Lemora, 15:02:15 01/02/10 Sat
  • That makes perfect sense Lemora and I agree completely about Allie's mother, it was so tragic, how could she put her daughter through what she had gone through, but I forgave her too. Especially because she kept the letters rather than destroying them. So tragic though. As far as Outlander goes, I never ever want to see a movie or series. I don't want to share them with a world who won't understand. (NT) -- Gwen (), 02:11:56 01/03/10 Sun
  • I loved that movie. So much so, that I went out and bought the book. Maybe it's because I saw the movie first, but I like the movie much better. The book actually seemed "lighter" to me, and the movie with more "meat". Usually, it's the other way around. However, I wasn't as thrilled with the ending of the movie, seemed to unrealistic and a bit hollywood. (NT) -- Conmama, 02:17:57 01/06/10 Wed
    • It could be that I fell in love with the actors visually...had a crush on Noah and he could be my son. (NT) -- Conmama, 02:24:09 01/06/10 Wed
