Tomorrow The Movie

I was not impressed with the movie of this story. It seemed to move really slowly, and it was hard to concentrate on what was happening. The movie did seem to try to stick close to the original story. Keeping the idea of the court case, the unfolding reason behind the hung jury, and the somewhat moral of the story. However the movie did not spend as much time on the actual event the book was about, the court case and its preceeding storyline. It focused more on the life and circumstances of Fentry. This made the movie seem longer, and without a point. I was also disappointed that they removed the idea of the niece telling the story altogether. There is some narration in the begging, but it is the lawyer speaking, then it stops until the end of the movie. I imagine the idea was to make the story the focus point of the movie, showing that this was what was important to the film makers. It was also probably intended to make the story seem more personal, rather then a story being related to us by a third party. In all I did not think the movie was very successful in keeping an audience interested, and I wonder why they chose to make that particular story into a movie to begin with.
