People have a right to want what they want about movies. I see no reason why someone says that they are bothered the divergence of a movie from a book But, to me, Travis's earlier comments indicated some objective problem with the movie because it didn't follow the book more closely. Stories are retold all the time. Shakespeare retold a number of stories, and his work is better remembered than the original. Faust has been retold many times. West Side story stands on its own, and should not be considered a failure because Maria lives. Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
