The Old Man and the Sea (1990 TV Movie)
A movie for a waste of time.
12 November 2004
Warning: Spoilers
WARNING…THIS MIGHT BE A SPOILER! I think that the movie that my class saw in school was very boring and it sucked because the director added new characters to the movie like the old man's daughter, and Ernest Hemingway. The old man's daughter sucked because she didn't even try to sound likes she had an accent and she looked too white to be Cuban. It was boring because it was about how Ernest came up to write the book. It was partly confusing with the new character; they made the meaning of the story worst and made it harder for you to find the meaning of the movie. Our class also read the book before seeing the movie and even though the book was boring the movie was worse. If you see the movie after reading the book you might like it if you liked the book, but if you didn't like the book, don't see the movie because it is going to be a waste of time and it won't help at all in creating images in your head. In the movie the old man looks stupid when he is out in the sea fishing for the marlin and he talks to the birds flying around and to himself. The movie was not that different from the book, they only added some new things but it did not help at all adding the parts because Ernest was in the movie writing the Old Man and The Sea. The end was crappie because the old man did not sleep and the marlin, that piece of crap didn't even look real, it looked like a plastic big fish. The old man kept talking to the boy and in the movie he didn't even talk about DiMaggio. So I'm warning you don't waste your time watching this crappie movie.
