 | I, like many people I would guess, bought this novel after seeing the film. The first thing that struck me is how closely the film-makers stuck to the source material. There are several lines and scenes that have been duplicated to the letter in the film and the visual imagery is just as stunning in both adaptations.
There are some small changes between the book and the film e.g. everyone is totally naked apart from the cloak in the book but differences such as these are easily explained I would think i.e. the film-makers may have had a problem with 300 sets of male genitals being on screen for 90 minutes!
As has already been stated, this is not true to the history of the real event and never once has it claimed to be. Consequently, all you pendants out there who are moaning about this, get a life, seriously! This is an adaptation of the true events for entertainment, not for a historical study.
Overall, this a great novel in terms of imagery, story and overall presentation. If you ... read more.
