Potioncat:

Oh dear. I'm sorry you saw the movie without reading the book. It was a shocking ending to read, much less to see. Did you watch the movie at home? My son and I saw it in the theater, having read the book and it was very horrible just the same. I wanted to yell, "No, don't go in! Simuel should come out!"

There was utter silence in the theater at the end. Not a word was spoken as people got up and left. I thought all and all that the movie did justice to the book.

What did you think of Thewlis?

Have you seen "Schindler's List"? My son wants to see it, and I'd be willing to let him, but I'm not sure I'm up for it. The first time i saw it the little girl in the red coat reminded me so much of my daughter I almost had to leave.

I'm a big dope that way.
