A Separate Peace Review
10 March 2010
I thought that the movie was okay for a book to screen adaptation since most of those movies do not seem to be that good anyway. What's nice is that the movie was filmed at Exeter Academy which is what the school in the book by John Knowles is based off of. The movie did do a good job of showing what the characters were like from the book. You could easily tell who was who without them saying their names. The acting was not that good but it was nice that the actors were real students at Exeter Academy. There were some weird moments in the movie where the camera would stay focused on something longer than was necessary. I enjoyed the book but the movie missed several important parts from the book. That is usually expected in this type of movie but the director missed too many parts. I think the director could have done a better job with showing the symbols that are portrayed in the book.
