I understand that its difficult to adapt such a nuanced novel to a
feature-length film. However, there were several im****tant pieces left
out that would make the whole story confusing to those who hadn't read
the books. I have to agree that they would have been better off not
trying to cram the entire book into one 90 minute feature.
Perhaps the entire movie could have benefited with a more detailed
prologue that gave more background.
