Good. Angelina does a very good job. When she / Mariane is told that Danny is dead, screams like you have NEVER heard before. Most of the movie is simply work by the police and other authorities tracking / following leads via cell phone calls and e-mails to locate Danny. So most of the movie takes place in the house where Danny and Mariane were living and scenes in the city of Karachi (whatever those locations were). I don't remember feeling consciously tense during the movie, but I have a headache from, I believe, my forehead being wrinkled. Tension?

Neat little side note. I was thinking about "Judging Amy" last night. (Kinda think I'd like DVDs when released.) Roommates Vincent and Donna were reunited in the movie. Jillian Armenante has a small part. No scenes with Futterman though. I would guess she got the part with Futterman's help.

Colour... Jillian Armenante was also in Girl Interrupted with Angelina Jolie, according to IMDB. So she could have gotten the part via a friendship with Angelina as well. Or this could be some weird coincidence.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. Not only is it riveting and moving as you might expect... you learn some interesting things about journalism and the middle east, and it is beautifully written. Mariane Pearl is an incredible woman.

I will def be seeing this film

Sharinia, Did you just love the poem on the last page... It really choked me up...I agree, very good book, even though I cheated...I listened to audio version....Marianne narrates it.

It must be riveting hearing the words coming from Mariane.

I honestly could not remember the poem you mentioned but got my book:

I swear I will not dishonor
my soul with hatred,
but offer myself humbly,
as a guardian of nature,
as a healer of misery,
as a messenger of wonder,
as an architect of peace.


I am probably going to read this again.

One more thing I thought I'd mention - Mariane is super interesting, savvy and cool. She's an extraordinary woman in every sense. I think casting Angelina Jolie was a great choice.

I love that poem and yes Mariane is awesome to hear, her voice adds such feeling... I listen to this while I walk on the treadmill at my gym and seriously had tears in my eyes during much of it.. it was hard trying to look normal and hold back the floodgates...

Did this ever come out? I don't think, if it did, that it played here. I want to see it i loved the book.
