Stephen Flowers in Response to Christopher Weeden

I find it interesting you would choose a book based on a movie because you should know movies are almost never like the book. Movie directors can't fit a 500 page book into a 2 and a half hour movie. That is why the movie always ruins the book. The movie for Rocket Boys will be extremely different then the book but that shouldn't affect your judgement of it. I only know one movie based on a book which doesnt completely ruin the book and that is Gettysburg. I still believe the movie will still have the same basic plotline as the book and that is what the movie is trying to do, and to make money which is the only reason they made the movie.
