It's okay if you like that kind of thing

I had to watch this movie in high school as an assignment and I thought the movie 'The Old Man and the Sea' was a pretty good movie. It seems like other people really don't like the movie. People find it boring and stupid and hate the dialog. I admit the dialog wasn't too good if you actually listen to it. And even though I nearly fell asleep while I was watching the movie, it didn't look like a horrible movie.

They changed a few things from the version of the book I read because they gave the old man a daughter and didn't say anything about the lions on the beach. And I didn't really understand Ernest Hemingway's part in the movie except that he was there. It didn't make sense on how much the old man kept talking to himself and the fish and the birds and whatever else he spoke to.

I'm not going to try and spoil the movie but I can tell you about how he went out to sea and hooked a marlin. Then came the boring parts. Then there was bleeding, struggling, cramping, hurting, eating, killing and guilt. If you watch the movie, you might see what I mean. Overall the movie was good. But I kind of had my eyes closed so I don't have any detailed parts. But my eyes were open enough to tell you the movie. That is if you like fishing, sharks and crazy old men and I'm guessing that no one likes that stuff.

I don't think I said too much to tell you the whole movie and spoil everything but if you did want to know the movie, read someone else's comments.
