Judging from the film, the original novel should have that kind of charm! After being adapted into a film, I still encounter the problem of converting such novels into film. The capacity of the film cannot perfectly show it all. For example, the entanglement between Martin and the two women is not enough, and the complicated mathematics at the beginning of the film is not enough. Terminology is distracting, but the first full-English dialogue by the famous Spanish director Álex de la Iglesia is still very good at grasping its essence. The whole film is very good in every way. Perfect application, wonderfully interspersed with many extra-story plots, editing with changing rhythm, Roque Baños another excellent soundtrack after "13 Roses", and of course the perfect performance of the golden supporting role John Hurt And Elijah Wood's unique blue eyes... There are many highlights.
The contradiction of logic that the film began to convey was confounded and blurred in the end. I don’t know the strength of the original work, but as a genre film, these may not be important, because after all, the needs of the audience must be considered. .
