This movie is amazingly beautiful the tone and the story are completely perfect in every way. I have seen this move tons of times and every time it's simply perfect The fact that she wrote two sequels to this which ties up the who story line is so good. I recommend watching the move then reading the two sequels as they will never put them on film and its worth it just to see the life she ends up living and it has the perfect ending in book three. With all the the rubbish movies Hollywood have been realising, I have no idea why they don't just make these two books or even compress books two and three together, the audience is there. To see these book put on film would be a great but like I said too much time has past so watch the movie and then either audio or read the follow ups it really is worth it.
