Opinion from a book lover

A movie to read first and then watch. Because I know the ending of the story, I will feel a little less suspenseful when watching the movie, and I will care more about the reduction and presentation of the plot. I have to say that the background of the whole story is still very restored, but the whole story line is unfolded and interspersed too much. Simple, the relationship between the characters is too relaxed, there is no fog-like feeling, there is only one liar, the scene of violence is shown from the beginning, and the memory is filled by the doctor who explained the violence too early and did not give the audience time to think, etc. Etc.; the stories in the book tend to give people more imagination, but to show more in the movie requires the application of shooting techniques. Generally speaking, it can only pass, and there are not too many surprises.

    "Sometimes the truth is painful or complicated." "Our son is only eight years old. He's desperately unhappy, Chris. And I just can't put him through that kind of trama again. I want you both to be happy, even if you can only find that happiness without us. Forgive me. Ben.”

    WTF... The slow ending of the plot is inexplicable and hastily ended Colin is completely useless sense of presence
