Review title: brilliant book, movie adaptation suffers from poor characterization
Product review: The novel of the Chosen is wonderful, but I can never get through watching more than a few minutes of this movie because of the actors chosen for Danny and his own father. Reuven is okay, and his father is well cast, but Danny is really poorly played. In the book, Danny is haunted by the secrets he is keeping, of his current activities and the hope of his future life. In the movie, Danny appears so self satisfied and complacent, he is annoying rather than compelling and his portrayal makes me wince. I wish they would remake this movie with a different cast. And in addition, too many of the important points of the book have been left out, and other things brought in that seem irrelevant. And yes, I understand Potok was a consultant on this movie, but I still think they got it wrong.
