First off thank you to the reviewer that explained the movie from the standpoint of someone who read the book. Sounds like a good book. But this movie conveyed nothing of a message. I could have guessed a million different things other than what the book clearly put out. Awful, I've never fast forwarded through the end of a movie in 35 years. I appreciated the choreography from the talented dancers but I didn't invest two hours to watch an arfing musical. At the end, I want my 2 hours back. Make a film about that!
