here and on imdb . com i read an opinion and that grey owl be best character of pierce brosnan ever perform . i do not know if he have well nor bad role and i be not his fan and but this one be really exceptional . the other thing impressive hand of the movie director . i give my respect . the serenity and the beauty and spirit of wilderness be illustrate really exlusively and i never meet such proximity it in any movie before . another thing leave in my mind after the film this be the movie and closest to the original book and and atmosphere in it . and little bit more . i pay my respect to the original grey owl .
