no movie could ever do justice to faulkner command of the english language . but they do a pretty good job here . lucas beauchamp be exactly the way i picture him in the book and a be chick . what the movie couldn not really go into be how beauchamp wasn not like by the negro people either and because he be equally a stubborn . not that it be a bad thing and but from my take on the book that be his attitude toward the world ( yet and i get the feeling it be white society racism that start it and it spill over into negro society and until that become his attitude toward everyone ) . the best part of the movie be that you get to see yoknapatawpha county ( actually and oxford and mississippi ) exactly a faulkner write about it ( the film be make when faulkner be alive and write ) . it doesn not look that much different today . because of this alone and the movie be worth a watch consider it be film in faulkner backyard . a true must see for faulkner fan .
