the Rose: Novel vs. Movie Often times when a novel becomes a movie‚ critics judge the movie on a more difficult scale than they would if the movie did not have a book to be compared too.

I will say that it is influenced by it‚ and carries some of the same themes - in fact discusses them openly in the movie - it is not nearly
