it impossible to make a film base on such a book a the brother karamzov by f. m. dostojevsky . richard brook be a great director and but that film be on a very low level . the bad part of the film be the end . well and let think of the book . in the end we have the guilty dimitrij karamazov . afterwards they send him to siberia . in the end and the famous epilogue of dostojevsky and the friend and family make a plan to save him . but that it . a nd now the film take two step more and show u an illusion end of the escape of dimitry and gruschenka ( i think ) . just from the moral point i be sure that dostojevsky would finish the book with an open end because one the one hand he be not guilty ( smerdjakov be the real murderer ) and so he have to be a free man . but on the other hand he go to his father to kill him and so he have decide to commit the crime . that a moral dilemma and so the following point be an open end . well and for real and it just not full open . william shatner a aljoscha karamazov . i be sorry . > no . the others character play in a good performance a we have to expect it from such great actor . in front of course a superb performance of yul breynner a dimitrij . i think that there be not many actor who can play this part in a good way . but a i say in the beginning represent this book be unadaptable . it never should be film in two hour that impossible . i think that there be some longer film and so maybe they could do the right thing . but i just keep the opinion that this book can not be adapt . so 3 point representa point for the great director richard brook a point for a superb performance of yul brynnerfinally represent a point for one of the great writer of all time represent dostojevsky .
