the film suffers from the same weaknesses a beloved someone murder the film on the cut floor . part of the film which should have be much short and a they be only marginally relevant to the story and be give too much time and while other section which require more time be cut too short to have an impact and i. e. the boy be bite by the rabid dog and which by the way and just appear in the film without reason or rhyme and leave the audience to try to figure out what be happen . next and the scene where janie kill her lover be lose because the camera be not on the scene . how wonderful it would have be to see the anguish of a woman in love and who be force to kill her lover in self defense . that be the kind of act piece that actor thrive on . it be completely blow off . someone with knowledge of how important cutting be to create a good film be require . oprah should give up work with film and continue with her day show . there be no one who be good at everything .
