Re: DVD Captain Corelli's Mandolin

Hi, Genkotsu-san! Kian is speaking.
I am sorry. I hadn't read this board for a loooooong time.

I've never read GR books of higher than level3.
So I think I can't say anything about it.

But I have read a PB, a GR(PGR2) and a translation and watched a movie of 'Of mice and men' by Steinbeck.
Can I tell about them?

First of all, I watched the movie and it moved me so much.
I was really keen to read the PB but I couldn't.
So I read the translation first.
Next, I read the PB.
I thought the movie had same mood as the PB.
But they were different in detail, of course.
For instance, in the movie, some character's episodes were missed and the final scenes were different.
But I liked both of them.

And after I started extensive reading, I read the GR.
It was soooooooo simplified.
(Because the GR was in level 2, of course I know.)
Before everything, the characters in the GR didn't use any slang at all.
And many episodes were missed.
There were many interesting original books even though the same title's GR books were boring, I thought as I read the GR.

Any way, I recommend the movie 'Of mice and men' and please read the oreginal book some day in the near future.

Happy reading!
