Le film et le roman

Many say that when comparing movies and books they differ a lot. Books provide a more detailed viewing of characters and the events that occur, whereas the movies leave out information and sometimes deter the moral of the story.

However, in the movie Antoine is not in this scene and their relationship is strong and is working well.

For both instances, the book has a more detailed way of portraying her thoughts whereas the movie fails to do so. In the end this takes away from emotions and attachment
