At the time, I was exploring sexuality as my experience had been very limited. Okay, let's be honest, Zane is porn for black women, that is before Eric Jerome Dickey took the mantle away from her. I'm just saying. Anyway, I had the book for a while because I thought that even if you took away the explicit sex, the story was strong, and I would have still had it in my library if I hadn't lost it. On the real, it's a solid book.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThen on the by and by, I found out that they made a movie based on the book. Although the \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4LErjzY_wKI\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Etrailer \u003C\/a\u003Ewas interesting, I didn't have the strong desire to watch the movie. Then out of boredom and because the internet is slow in the evenings, I watched it and here are my thoughts on it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EHere I Stand Waving My Prude Flag\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI know I'm a prude when I keep thinking, \"Are they having sex again? Gosh! Can we get to the story. Geez, more guys' asses.\" I wouldn't say I was made uncomfortable by it but I got over it quick. I know the movie is based on a book that is erotica true and true, but I felt like the story is strong enough that I don't have to suppress the desire to skip the sex part.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cb\u003EReminder To Kim, It's based on the book, it's not going to be exactly like the book\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI had to stop myself from comparing it to the book. Although I can't give you blow by blow every chapter in the book, I know there were some things left out, like the main character being with a woman. The woman was there but she didn't get busy with her, which makes me make the assumption,\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EInfidelity, no matter how extensive, is bad, but homosexuality is unspeakable.\u003C\/b\u003E \u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EI guess not all sins are made equal.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EIt had its good moments\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EThere were moments where they built suspense, but there were moments when they made me, as a viewer, want more. I think they glossed over her childhood by just tacking it on in the end. I question the loyalty of her friend, which she kept hanging. That is some friendship but she keeps letting down her friend and she stands by her. The ending reminded me of \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0111693\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003EWhen a Man Loves a Woman\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E with Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia, which is understandable as that movie is about addiction as well, but it felt like it was easier to address addiction using an existing movie concept than figure out how to translate the true ending of the book. Oops, I was supposed to say the good moments here, they got the suspense and they built the core story. I'm resisting using a but.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EWould I recommend this movie?\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EI guess, if you want to watch something when you are suffering from insomnia and have nothing better to watch. I know that sounds bad, but it all depends on what you are up for. And movie watching late at night is not a bad thing, I've done it in the past and have come across some decent movies, not great but decent movies. If you've read the book and you are expecting to see the book on the screen, don't watch it. If you haven't read the book, go right ahead, then read the book, it will make you appreciate the book more.\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EI know the movie came out late 2014 and I'm reviewing it in 2015, but as they say, down here in Antigua, \" 'llow me.\" More reviews when I watch something else, except After Earth.
