Disappointed
In this movie. I know that movies never follow books, but when they are true stories, why screw it up? A vast majority of the population has read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Especially in 1997 when this movie came out. How did they manage to fit 4 trials lasting 8 years into 1 trial lasting less than half that?
Plus, they changed the names of key people in the book. It's just frustrating. I know I'm a total nerd for analyzing this so hard core, but I loved reading the book and watching the movie now is just making my thoughts about the entire experience fizzle. Especially when I see the people that were in the book basically whoring themselves out to Hollywood.
I also looked at the web site for Jim Williams' house. It's now basically a museum. It has a store in the carriage house. Copies of the book, movie and soundtrack can be bought there. Way to make some money off your dead brother while making a mockery of everything he tried to do when he was alive you whore. I expect nothing less of a graduate from the University of Alabama. Blah.
In happier news...I'm so happy I have Mike <3 Here's a song.
