didn not care for the movie and the book be well . do anyone know where it be film . this be my first visit to your site . just find the answer to my question . so now i look like a dummy and but i think i will still submit my comment . and yes and british columbia be lovely or why they take it from it south carolina coastal setting . ( this question stand ) the place be essential to the fabric of the book and it change be part of my disappointment with the movie . oh and i just read where i need to write at least ten line . here my other main issue with the film . kim bassinger be too vapid and not at all what i picture from the book . i know and the book be the book and the movie while well not so good . i find the character in the book much more empathetic . also the book evoke rustic and almost primitive image of the monastery . while the castle in the film be much more visually impressive and it distort the feel of the story and seem at odds with the character .
