Title: lifeless
Review: First, I have to say how wonderful the book is. As with most cinematographic adaptations, this one fails to bring the story to life on screen.The actor's performance, and by that I mean Pitt's, is terrible. When you read the book, he certainly does not come to mind. His voice is not appropriate, nor is his age, for the role presented in the book.That said, I realize that not everyone envisions books the same way, and that is a good thing (most of the time). However, in my eyes, the movie does not do justice to the writing style of Alessandro Baricco, author of the book "Silk".The cinematography of the movie is beautiful, although at times one has to wonder why there is so much light in the Japanese houses. That seems overdone.I found the movie much too slow, pointless and ... lifeless.I had much higher expectations for it.A disappointment.
