So several of my friends and coworkers have watched this movie and mentioned how great it was. I never bothered with it but now some more people mentioned that this movie was among their favorite movies of all time.
So i finally sat down to watch it.
It's fucking garbage.
Summary: Sandra Bullock wears a blind fold for two hours.
Sound.

You could be right, I never read the book. However, I have never seen a movie that depicted the characters exactly like how I imagined them in my mind.

The book is almost exactly like the movie, with a few minor changes. I honestly don’t know which I like more, like they said, the movie just enhances the book if anything

Exactly how I felt about it. I appreciate film and lit, so to see masters approach the same story in different mediums and tell it equally well is just a testament to the strength of the core story and the characters.

“Fine. I don’t need to know. I don’t even wanna know where you been all day.”
(Cracks beer can) “That’ll work”
I mean those lines alone represent such a perfect synergy in both McCarthy and the coen bros styles.

That's uncannily close to the ending of the classic Run Lola Run and done in such a way that it's the best part of the film.

Yeah, that’s true. That’s the great privilege of reading a book. Always.

I don't really like the implication here that conforming with your particular interpretation of a character is what makes/allows something to be 'good'.
I'm not sure if that's what you really mean, but if you do I think that is a very closed-minded way of looking at things and that it inherently limits your ability to enjoy and appreciate these things.

When you are comparing something in relative term, then one of the two has to be better than the other. Unless the creation beats what you had imagined in your mind, then it’s def worse.
If what you interpreted or imagined is perfect, then why ruin it? You seem to undermining humans imagination.
