Very much agree. The experience of reading it was interesting for me: on first reading I did not like it much, but the more I thought about the story and about how to interpret it, the more sense it made, and the more depth it gained in my view.
I should add I haven't seen the film yet but am looking forward to it. Has anyone who's read the story seen the film?
- munchbunny 10y agoI did, just saw the film last night. This is a rare case where the film has preserved the feeling and the central concept of the story fairly well, but the film changes the plot significantly in order to do it. I wasn't entirely able to predict the plot as it unfolded based on prior knowledge of the written version, unlike with The Martian. I still like the written story better, but the movie stands on its own as a great movie, and I'm happy with their take on trying to tell the same story a different way.
- nkrisc 10y agoI think what they did with the movie was great. It felt totally true to the story even though the plots aren't exactly the same. Even though I knew what I thought would be the twist they still got me.
