Title: Best British Film Ever
Product review: I have seen this film about 10 times. The first time was right after reading the book when it first came out. The film does great justice to the book. There are actually only about 2 differences from the book and they are useful in their symbolism. First, the hair color of her fiance and new love interest are reversed in the movie. The symbolism in the book is that her new love is darker and more brooding, while the fiance is the fair haired boy. Second, when Lucy first kisses George in the field, in the movie it looks like a field of grass or wheat. The book has this as a field of violets, which of course, is symbolic of their passion. I know I sound like a complete snob, but this film and the underlying book were so fabulous, I remember these bits of information from the book as if I had read it yesterday, when, indeed, I read it 15 years ago. This is enduringly romantic and beautiful.
