"He had learned to respect the chasm that he had dug all around him ... Years earlier he had tried to skip that and we had fallen into the abyss ... now was content to sit on the edge with their legs dangling in the air! " (Duke, The Solitude of Prime Numbers)
spend only two words to tell you my disappointment about the movie I have seen last night at the cinema.
I read the novel by Paul Jordan immediately after he became the book of the year thanks to the Witch deserved award.
But yesterday evening, beautiful novel that I have found little or very little.
First of all my doubts the move to directing, with constant flashbacks and flashfoward that has hindered the full and complete understanding of the lives of the two protagonists.
fact, for those who have not read the novel parts of the film will remain obscure, and will seem trivial, stupid, almost comical.
Well no, not a comedy is a film that should be encouraged to reflect on the many misfortunes and hardships of the young caused by bad or wrong education imparted by parents. The situations that occur are dramatic: a brother, tired of his sister with severe mental problems, just eight years, leaves in a park to spend some happy hours at the home of a friend, a child marked for life by an accident in the mountains, which will make lame for life, caused by the neglect and stubbornness of parents and youth who are given the freedom to love. From these two childhood traumas (the death of his sister-abandonment and the incident in the mountains) tearjerker derive the major problems of the protagonists Alice and Mattia, self-injury and anorexia of one another.
Secondly, as usual, unfortunately, the film disappoints the expectations of the reader, but what is even more sorry to see unnecessarily distorted situations and entire parts of the novel. In fact, history is also taken up a lesbian who is not even mentioned in the novel, this is because it has become fashionable because you have to necessarily make it normal and common situations that do not really have to get used to make us a brainwash and this lays very bad the author has allowed such destruction against his work, or you have highlighted the disease's mother Alice, who later died of cancer, or is not even mentioned the woman with whom Matt undertakes a report abroad and instead turns out to be important in understanding the end of history.
One thing is for sure not really recommend it to anyone going to see this film before they are documented or rather, did not read the novel, why do not you understand a situation that could enrich and appears to be wasted. And I have tested this first hand.
Overall Rating: 5
