I agree with your thoughts on the movie, which is not too far off from the book, except for the music. Speaking of which, what did you think about the music? Pretty mismatched.
Very mismatched. I feel that it was the intent of those who chose the music to express the feelings of a time long ago with new music. I like that idea, however I dislike how it was executed. I think they could have done better had they chosen something with more depth than pop rap.
