Movie Reviews of The Chosen
Movie Review: READ THE BOOK!
Summary: 2 Stars
We read the book, The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, in my 10th grade English classes. The students love the book, but the movie doesn't do it justice. It skips parts that the students most wanted to see, and doesn't come close to the moving experience of the book. The movie does provide a look at the cultural aspects of the book, including quite a few minutes of a Hasidic Jewish wedding, which is not part of the book. I would not recommend the movie, however, unless you have read the book, which is an amazingly rich literary work, first.
