I would have to disagree about the movie skewing to the tiger story. I don't believe the book presents these two stories at par, as the tger story is much more vivid, the alternative much flatter. I came out of the movie still thinking I wanted the tiger story to be true but thinking that realisitically it was probably the other story.
yes to marianne, and this is not about free will! you have a right not to read the book either! but if you want to meet god, read the book and see the movie! you will understand what faith means and why it is important to humans.
I saw the film with a friend who hadn´t read the book and he didn´t understand that both stories had equal weight. This meant there was no choice to be made.
He naturally assumed the one we saw was the real one, and that the other had been made up to keep the interviewers happy. But I think you could make the same mistake with the book, as one story is told in far more detail.
Do not see the movie because it is bad. Very very bad.
I loved the movie. It's one of the most beautiful movies I've seen in years and it stays true to the story. See it, you've alredy decided which version you believe and it's another artistic interpretation of a great story.
And that extra character, the dancer, that was staying true to the story?
The movie is, in my opinion, better than the book. I don't think that the second story had the same weight in the book, it had just a few pages versus the tiger one. I loved the movie and didn't like the book
The movie doesn't force faith upon the viewer, which I liked. It presented faith as multi- dimensional which is uncommon. The outcome being "and so it goes with God" (whatever God(s) is/are to the individual...even lack of God) . The movie told one side because, practically, it was best told on screen in that form. The bias is there so people can question it...a biased opinion isn't always bad. It's something to fight against and question. & isn't that the point of any story?
This is a beautiful movie, simply stunning and very moving. If you don't see it, that's your business, but I think you have missed out on a great joy.
