I watched this in 2025 actually today which

I watched this in 2025 actually today which is 24th October 2025. I know this movie is more than 50 years old now I remember reading the book and how good it was at the time. I have read some really positive reviews and I'm happy that people found a film terrific but for me, it was more a distraction. Too much music for no reason. I actually skipped through that part. Also, at the time I presume being self-aware with something that wasn't a big thing at the time, but even then the movie doesn't really present the book very well. On top of that for a topic that is meant to be so peaceful and empowering, there were so many legal disputes. Everybody wanting a piece of the pie instead of actually doing what the book were hoping to present. The director says he's made to direct this movie but then totally fcks it up. Always respect the author. What I didn't like is that the film talks about perfection. Perfection is impossible but empowerment to create the greatest perfection possible is. There is no such thing as perfection. But there is always empowerment to create the best sustainable quality. This matters now more than ever and we still aren't doing what we should about that. What we could do about that. I find humanity so addicted to disempowerment. It's really sad. For what it's worth, read The Alchemist. I think it's a much better book that people can connect with for a more empowering outcome.

The music and images are beautiful and this

The music and images are beautiful and this slow-paced film becomes hypnotic. I think this is a remarkable film given it was done with cameras, real birds and scenery as opposed to AI or animation. I also enjoyed the spiritual story. On the downside, the pace is a bit slow in places and, apparently, the film is not true to the book, which can be really annoying if you've read it. Anyway, thanks to the music and scenery, I fell in love with a seagull LOL !

I loved this book and although the story

I loved this book and although the story is the same, it just goes to show that it's very easy to mess up a film. It's on the internet.
