i love this movie . not because of the romantic story line between woman and but for the visualization of human strength and despair and and liberation . this film be a must see . entertain . emotional . captivate . all the character be very well write and portray by some very talented actor . this story be a story of self discovery and sexual awakening . a journey of the mind and body and soul . you find yourself identify with the character and at some point and even the storyline . i do have to say that i recommend watch the movie first and then read the book . if you read the book first and you will be slightly disappointed . the screenplay adaption cut out a lot and some thing be change . some for the good and some for the bad .
