Title: Excellent movie but neglects vital concepts from book
Review: I enjoyed the movie a lot. It even made me cry (and I rarely cry). But, I was dissapointed in the way it was written for the screen. The movie left out much of Book 3 as well as what I thought was one of the most important concepts from the book: repentance. Absalom's repentance was never portrayed. The fact that he prayed to God for forgiveness is vital. Had I not already read the book, I would have not had the same emotional reactions. It is absolutely terrific, but it does not quite do justice to Patton's Pre-Aparthied novel.
