I saw this movie and loved it. It truly lived up to my expectations. I read the book about 8 1/2 years ago and loved it. I was excited to hear the book had been made into a movie. I think the movie really brought the movie to life. Many of the scenes were just as I had imagined when reading the book. I thought the acting was great and it was a beautiful movie to watch. The actors, dress and scenery were all so beautiful. Even without the story, I would have enjoyed just watching it because it was so pleasing to the eye.
