Movie Reviews of Slaughterhouse-Five

Movie Review: our mind
Summary: 4 Stars

I think this movie depicts how our minds go back and forth to our memories. As you can see Billy Pligrima unstuck on time and he lives now but at the same time he lives with past, present, and perhaps the future as well. It well written and made out as a movie. It is a post modern approach to the viewers of up coming generation. It is a great movie but you might read the book first and watch the film.

Movie Review: Pretty Good...
Summary: 4 Stars

I don't think Kurt Vonnegut's books can really be done justice by movies, mostly because his writing style and ideas are just so out there, but this is probably as close as someone will get to it.

I'd give it five stars, if not for the fact that Vonnegut's greatest character, jaded impoverished psycho writer Kilgore Trout...does not show up in the movie. Why is that?

Movie Review: Life in the Slaughterhouse
Summary: 4 Stars

Film adaptions of novels (from Madame Bovary to Catch 22) have proved how easy failure transcends effort. However, The film version of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five proves the exception: graceful, smartly directed and beautifully acted. Rediscover a real treasure and see this film.

Movie Review: Okay, but the book is better
Summary: 4 Stars

I usually try to read a book before seeing the movie version. In this case, I'm really glad I did. The movie is ok, but the book is much better. In all fairness, it seems as though it would be difficult to convert this from a novel to a movie.
