<p>I think it was a well-crafted interpretation. The producer did work hand in hand with the author of the book. </p>
<p>Someone once said that a book differs from a movie in that there is no time or length limit on reading. A book can be picked and put down only to be picked up again. When you are creating a movie, you must consider the attention span of your viewing audience.</p>

<p>Bit,</p>
<p>Do you think the movie was a sad shadow of the book or an equally good but very different interpretation of the same story?</p>

<p>In my years of watching Irish films, I am always reminded how darj the humour can be. It is also very complex. Nothing brings it to light in such a way as does this movie.</p>
<p>I saw it more of a coming of age and of a struggle, in that most akward of times, to also come to the realization that the place you always knew as home was the one place that you didn't fit in and probably never had.</p>

<p>There could be some gripes about not staying closer to the book's story line. However, I think that what they did with the movie was brilliant. Cillian Murphy brought Kitten to life in full. I do think that this was his breakout role.</p> Sorry to say I haven't seen '…tag:thewildgeese.irish,2014-01-08:6442157:Comment:716712014-01-08T00:26:56.295ZSarah Naglehttps://thewildgeese.irish/profile/SarahNagle
<p>Sorry to say I haven't seen 'Angel' --I'll take it under recommendation though. Thank you for suggesting it. I thought this was one of those rare movies that defy any sort of categorization... Sadly this means there is usually no way to market them and the audience ends up missing out.</p>

<p>It has been awhile since I saw it. I mainly remember a series of hilarious one-liners, great dialog, and a sense simmering tension and near despair.

<p>Heard about it when Cillian copped the lead in "The Wind That Shakes the Barley." "Pluto," I gather, was his breakout role. Haven't seen it but it sounds well-worth watching, Sarah.</p>
