warn represent spoiler . me and my 9th grade english class watch the old man and the sea movie after read the book . overall and i think this movie be pretty bad . the movie be different from the book because there be new character and santiago daughter and who want him to live with her and she do not even try to have an accent . the other main character be earnest hemingway and not play by him and and his wife . have hemingway in this story be an interesting idea and but all of the scene with him be either part from the book modify to have him in it and without really change them and or really boring and which just make it longer and make it take more time to get to the interesting part and when he catch the marlin . also and they leave out the part where he catch the dolphin and so and in the movie and he be out there for day and he never eat . the new part do not add to the story at all and except for take up time . seriously and i could hardly stay awake while watch it and and i have never fall asleep in class . the movie do not help me imagine or understand the story any good because it do not look like how i imagine it would look . it be also really fake look and when he saw the giant marlin and it do not look all that big and and also and it be just a movie on a green screen and it look like the fishing line go through the marlin at one time . when the marlin be strap to the side of the boat it be the same size a the boat and the book say it be a few foot longer than his boat and it look like it be make of rubber . when it be dark it look like he be in a boat in the middle of nowhere . the movie be also less interesting because it do not say what he be think and so you do not feel a attach to him and and a lot of the stuff he think be important or interesting . negative star .
