I never expect Hollywood to make a two hour movie that mimics a book outside of a the broad overall plot. The two just don't translate well one for one into each other due to various factors. If it were a graphic novel it would probably translate better into a movie, but it was a straight-up book.
Hollywood also has to take the entertainment factor into consideration and sometimes that means changing things or artistic license. So, I go to the movies for "entertainment" and to enjoy the movie a fictional story. |

I was talking about the scene where he sees his brother in Iraq. They portrayed his brother as a beaten, broken, man. Which sure as hell wasn't in the book. |

If there's a valuable lesson in all this, isn't it that the real enemy is in the mirror, or at home? Seems like a wasted opportunity to put some focus on PTSD. Like some more backstory on how it ended up that way. |
