The Snowman (2017)
What was that
I've waited impatiently for The Snowman to come out for the last few weeks and I have to tell that I'm not impressed at all with what I saw.
The movie should be based on the novel of Nesbo, but it was very far away from the thriller and the twists in the book. We didn't see at all the passion of Hoole, his obsession of finding the murderer. The characters were presented very bad. I've read the book and the Mould Man has a very big role in the investigation of Harry Hole and in finding the murderer, and in this movie i believe the spectators didn't get why was he in the motion picture at all.
Many of the facts from the book were changed, and even the main reason for the murders and the illness of the Snowman were cut from the script and this gave completely different vision of the movie. In the book The Showman kills his mother in a cold-blooded way, when he was a child and she is his first victim, and in that way we realize how twisted and insane he is, and here in the motion picture, we saw very different thing in the beginning.
And the way Katrine Brat thought that there is a connection between the snowing, married women with kids and the murders - this was totally nonsense at all, it was kind of funny I can say. And in some moment she should be considered as the Snowman, but that part was out of the script also.
And the top moment of this film was the terrible ending when the killer fell in the ice out of nowhere. Who wrote this, and who approve it as a way of murdering the Snowman?! This was absolutely bad, to put it mildly, even if they wanted to kill the Snowman, there were hundreds of different ways to do it much better, although this was not part of the book ending, but when you cut the main reason from the plot this is what happens.
I thing the norwegian cinema will present this book in a much better way, so I hope that this will not be the last movie for this horrific thriller of Nesbo.
