This was a great movie. The acting was superb and the cast was well done. I think the writer, director and everybody involved should be very proud of this movie and the many messages that it conveys. Very powerful and impactfull movie that moved me and got me thinking on so many levels. That is exactly what a movie like this is supposed to do and they did it to near perfection. I never read the book and I'm sure it doesn't measure up but that's usually the case with novels transfered to the big screen. Still a great movie
