YWY - Some books should remain just books
18 May 2008
I'm giving 7 stars for the movie, although a 6.5 would be more accurate. Despite other persons that have also made some comments here, I believe that this is a movie that should have a warning like "Don't watch it if you don't know anything about Eliade, otherwise one would think it's a movie with possessed people and it would be a pity, wouldn't it?". If you knew before watching the movie that the writer of the novella has written the ultimate masterpiece about the history of religions and, at least, his interest in reincarnation, the story would make much more sense. Most of his stories are autobiographies - more or less. I don't want to defend the movie, but seeing here comments like "possesions" and "stories" that have nothing to do with each other make me believe that some books should remain just books (that means not available for the big audience).
