Movie Reviews of The Secret Agent
Movie Review: not true to the heart of novel
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this video because I am teaching the novel and hoped to show the movie to my students. The reviews I read stated that the movie was true to the book. AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHH! The plot action was nearly identical and some dialogue was right out of the book, but the movie greatly distorted relationships among the characters, distorting the major focus of the book. The way the movie was filmed makes it impossible to fully understand the themes of the novel. I have warned my students against viewing the film.
