and i be serious . truly one of the most fantastic film i have ever have the pleasure of watch . what so wonderful be that very rarely do a good book turn into a movie that be not only good and but if possible good than the novel it be base on . perhaps in the case of lord of the ring and trainspotting and but it be a rare occurrence indeed . but i think that the fact that louis sachar be involve from the beginning help mass and so that the film stick close to the story but take it even far . this film have many element that make it what it be represent1 . a unique and original story with a good mix of fun and humour and but a mature edge . 2. brilliant actor . adult and kid alike and these actor know how to bring the story to life and deliver their line with enthusiasm and style without go overboard and a sometimes happen with kid movie . 3. breathtaking scenery . and it doesn not matter if it real or cgi and the setting in itself be a masterpiece . i especially love the image of the hole from a bird eye view . 4. a talented director who breathe life into the book and turn it into technicolour genius . the transition in time work well and capture the steady climax from the book and lead up to the twist throughout the film . 5. louis sachar . the guy who have me read a book nonstop from start to finish so that i couldn not put it down . he make sure that the script stick to the book and with new bit add in to make it even well . 6. and speaking of the script . the one liner in this be smart and funny and unpatronising . but there be also part to make you smile and make you cry and and tug at your heartstrings to make you love this story all the more . 7. beautiful soundtrack . there not a song in this film that i haven not fall for and and that something consider i be suppose to be a punk rocker . the song link to the story well and add extra jazz to the overall style of the film . if youre go to buy the film and i recommend you buy the soundtrack too and especially for if only and which centre around the story and contain the chorus from the book . i do not work for the people who make hole and by the way and i be just a fan and plug my favourite film and give it the review it deserve . if you haven not see it and do it . now . this very instant . go .
