20130506:
I've heard the book is a classic, but this movie - the second movie based on the book - isn't worth recommending. There were some scenes which I enjoyed watching due to the range of emotions and variety of events which had taken place, but there were other scenes which confused me and led me to wonder how the story would resolve. The movie benefited from having a strong ending, but I wouldn't watch it again.
Remark: I was lucky enough to see this movie from beginning to end. Though I'm not sure whether or not it was edited; sometimes the television version of a movie is censored.
