Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 4354543, member: 5787"] I also saw [B][I]Where the Crawdads Sing[/I] [/B]last night at a local theater, probably my first time at a theater in three years. I try to avoid seeing movie adaptations of books that I've read because I don't want it interfering with the imagery I've created (for example, [I]The Giver [/I]or [I]The Great Gatsby[/I]), but I love watching almost anything to do with marshlands (I see you, [I]Outer Banks) [/I]and its plot driven coming-of-age character study lends itself well to the big screen. It is one of those movies that felt so-so until the last ~ thirty minutes when everything clicked. Daisy Edgar-Jones was great as the lead character as I felt consistent sympathy to her. The warmth and parental care of the lawyer and the storeowners left me fighting back tears while my wife cried probably twenty different times throughout the movie. I did like how Jumpin' was a more prominent character in the movie. Overall, I liked it. Good story, good acting, good characters and I was in love with the cinematography, capturing the light of the marshlands excellently. [/QUOTE]
