A beautiful vision of the book. I read the book quite a long time ago and I had such strong visions in my mind of these characters. When I saw the shoemaker it was like I was seeing again what I had seen in my mind. It is brilliant to take such a detailed and complex novel and portray the most important lines and the most important scenes. If there's a reason you will never have time to read this classic, this movie will help you know this fantastic story. Or if like me you have already read the book it is great to see somebody do it such great service. Here the time with the shoemaker is portrayed more quickly than the character development in the book but this is not a great loss. And someone who drinks a lot is more developed in the book but again this is not a great loss. Maybe at the very end there is a slight percentage more religiosity but the movie is over at that point. I am so glad I saw this today and it reminds me to get back to reading the classics. And it reminds me how important it is when producing the movie of a great book to honor it.
