I just saw the movie "Sophie's Choice"

And I have to say....

Her performance was better than the hype. They should have given her 3 oscars just for her work in this film. I was friends with a Polish woman for many, many years, and Meryl nailed that accent.

I wasn't that impressed with the movie overall, but I definitely understand what the fuss is about now.

I read in the production notes that Meryl only had 3 months to learn the accent and the languages. I also read that Goldie Hawn was after the part. Can you imagine?

1. I always thought it was a very sad story.

I also thought she gave the women the edge she needed

2. Meryl Streep is amazing it this film.

She got the character across so well. She seems to fine in so easy
to slip into someone elses skin.

3. Didn't care for the movie--perhaps because the book is increbible!

Saw the movie a while back, and didn't care for it. Then I read the book not too long ago and loved it, so I decided to give the movie another chance. Still didn't like it. Still didn't like Meryl Streep--I mean, she wasn't awful like she usually is, but still hammy and over-rated.

Anyway, you should read the book.
