i have be debate with myself for year about watch this movie . have be an avid fan of the entire series of flower in the attic book and i know there be a strong possibility the film would do nothing but irritate me by way of poor acting and even poor script writing . what i do not realise and be how much of a massacre the film be go to make of such a beautifully write book . first off and and i be sorry but it be a shallow comment to make represent those kid while chris and cathy and carrie and cory be suppose to be stun . the dresden doll because they be that strike . whoever cast the film seem to have sort through the village of the damned reject in order to find the two young ( scary look couple of child i have ever see ) chris be and i be sorry just nothing like the original character and while kristy swansen be very pretty she just do not cut it a cathy . which bring me to my next point cathy thing be ballet she an excellent dancer and aside from a couple of pathetic scene involve swansen try to get her leg high than her hip bone and they ignore the one thing that the entire character centre around . and just out of interest where be the relationship between cathy and chris . i know have an incestuous relationship play out in film have get to be controversial but do not bother even pick up a pen to write a script for a story if you have absolutely no intention of keep the central story line . and if you do and do not have the audacity to pass it off a the film version of a highly acclaimed book just by give it the same title . flower in the attic be base on a true story . ( a state in the prologue of the copy i have anyway ) . how how be it ok to just butcher such an awesome piece of work . it like pass pokemon off a the mona lisa while sick and entirely wrong . they have completely miss the point of the story represent it wasn not about 4 kid sit in an attic waiting to die or be let out while it be about four child adapt to a situation wherein they have to become adult long before their time . it be about how the relationship between the sibling evolve and and the psychological consequence of lose one parent through death and another through greed . for anyone who have watch the film and be ready to dismiss the book because of it seriously while do not be fool by such an obvious lacklustre attempt at a book adaptation . there be not enough word in the english language to explain how wrong this film be how utterly and completely pathetic the script and setting and acting and casting and directing and the 101 other way in which the movie suck beyond belief . and just . just do not get me start on the end . every time i think about it i just want to do nasty thing involve pointy object to the script writer . please tell me someone agree with me .
