I read the book, at the end I was flummoxed, couldn’t process. Had to reread, so pissed!!!!! Knightly, McAvoy, Ronan were perfection. The green dress deserves all the accolades as well.

I loved the book but my goodness, was it a tough read. Many of the characters are unredeemable and leaves you feeling like you felt when Schindler's List ended. Loss of faith in humanity and just wanting to drink until you pass out.

Idk the end scene of Schindlers List when all the people he had rescued were placing rocks on his grave was touching. Showed that even in a world of unredeemable evil, there are good people out there

I agree! He saved all those people and their future generations. Very uplifting.

When I read the book, I didn't put the dates together and I didn't realize it meant that they never had the time together (reading too quickly and it went over my head). The shock of that revelation in the film hit doubly hard, having missed it the first time.

I had to reread as well! Missed the part that they both died, but life isn't fair - boohoo

That happened to me - I didn't realize the dates of their deaths meant that they didn't have any further time together. In my case, seeing the film later on made that even more of a gut punch.
