i read the book and the book be fascinate . this movie and it direction and the screenplay and and the acting be totally insufferable . i cringe at the lack of a screenplay that could not follow the novel and a novel that have all the action and simplicity and and courage to illustrate a temerity of a great possibly fact base story . i can see why this movie be not release to the general public in most city . would not ever recommend this film to anyone i know . simply and one of he bad adaptation i have see transform into a plot less exploration of heaven on earth . the cinematography be indeed the only highlight . but and how could that fail when film in an beautiful country such a peru . to prospective viewer and do not waste your time or energy on this flop .
