Re: DVD Captain Corelli's Mandolin

Hi, Kian-san! Long time no see.

〉I hadn't read this board for a loooooong time.

I am always looking forward to your post.

〉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?

Why not? go ahead!
I haven't read this book yet.
but I am very interested in this, so I will lend tomorrow
from Book-Club at Shinjuku. I hope it will be availabe.

〉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.

In my case, to tell the truth if I watched the movies, I didn't read
the same title's books. Because I didn't want to try to take a secound
excitement from another media or original works.

But after my extensive reading, I want to know retold stories(GR)
as well as original stories and that of other media such as movies
and listening tapes.

Regarding Corelli I thought GR shows more painful love story
than that of movie.

I wonder I could read original works from the beginning!

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

Thank you for your recommendation!
I will do.

Bye
