I originally posted something on this over on /tv/ but since that board is nothing but a meme horrorshow (a real shame for people that actually like film), I thought that I would bring it over here to /lit/ since it is based off of a novel to begin with and I actually mostly spend my time on /lit/ anyways.
So, I just finished the painted veil for the first time last night. It was spectacular. I had heard really good things about it a couple of years ago (Girl I was talking to said it was her favorite film) but I had never really gotten around to actually watching it.
Well, now I did and I don't regret it. In fact it is probably one of my new favorite movies and I wish that I could erase my memories of it so I could enjoy it anew once again.
10/10 Edward was great.
What do you guys think about this movie?
To tie it back to /lit/, has anybody here read the book and what did you think about it? from what I gather the book is much more about Kitty's transformation as a person and less of the hollywood crap. Also, I know... I know... the book is always better...

And?... what did you think about the book and film? Compare and contrast the two?
Also, I'd rather not. This is a forum for literature after all... If that is something you'd rather not discuss then perhaps it is you that should depart.

you admitted you started this thread on /tv/
kill yourself.

Aaaand... what does that have to do with literally anything?
Yes, I said that is where it began because I had a desire to discuss this film. But the story is captivating and lit would have more to say about it.
Get over it. It's happening here.

I feel you OP. It kills me that /tv/ is so bad.

Doubtful. Maugham isn't a meme author. In fact I don't think I've ever seen /lit/ mention him.

Yes, it is unfortunate really...
My second love, after literature, is film. /tv/ is just atrocious for people that have any real desire to talk about the actual topic.

I know what you mean. However, despite how meme-ridden /lit/ may be at times, it is still infinitely better than what is offered at /tv/.
At least people here somewhat stay on topic and at least give a real effort to try to discuss literature. Over on /tv/ people are posting about completely irrelevant things.
I agree about the Maugham never being mentioned here though. I don't think I have ever seen him brought up either.

I'd agree with that. /tv/ is a godforsaken memehole.
