with everything zoo said, i just watched it and didn't read the book and yes i found it disjointed and confusing at times, it definitely shouldn't have one best drama at the golden globes and that lil girl who's in it for like a half hour has no reason being nominated for an oscar. the cinematograpphy was completely amazing though it literally blew me away and was the only thing keeping me entertained at times. the first act was really well done but as soon as they moved on to the war scenes it lost ALOT of steam.
