A rather faithful adaptation of the original novel

A rather faithful adaptation of the original novel, with minimum amount of plot changes (which is understandable). I like the slowness of the scenes, and how in a plain way the story unfolds. But of course given its mere 2-hour length, lots of details have to be trimmed. 吴倩莲 is just so good and powerful in portraying the main character. On the other hand, 黎明's Mandarin sounds a bit weird and is distracting at times. The film is a little too compressed and it is difficult for the audience to realize that the whole movie actually spans 14 years, and hence appreciate the magnitude of the suffering endured by most of the characters. I wish the make-up artist had at least made the characters look older when they appear at the end of the movie. Overall, it's still a great movie. But the book is still 200% better! 8/10.
