  • The Book is fantastic, but I think this movie misses the entire point of it by trying to make it a romance between Jake and Brett. That is probably the worst possible and most shallow view to take on this meaningfully rich story.

  • @darcon81 The Sun Also Rises, like most of Hemingway's works, is relatively dry on the surface, but has a flood of metaphor and meaning lying just beneath. Someone that has only read the book once or twice, say a critic, will have a completely different view of it than someone who has read it over and over again, discovering new things each time.

  • Why wasn't there more Errol Flynn in the trailer?? :'(((

  • @darcon81 Probably because the first third of the book is painful to read. Added to that, the dialog, albeit innovative for the time, is completely unrealistic. I think people tend to like the book more for the romanticism of what it described than for how it was actually composed.

  • i don't get it. I agree with your review that The Sun is a great novel and ahead of its time. It just puzzles me why it's not even on the top ten Greatest novels of the 20th century while the Great Gatsby is on the 2nd. Gatsby is beautifully and meticulously crafted, no doubt, but the settings are much more explored than the characters and the plot is like a rundown soap opera story. The sun is definitely more influential and post modern, but why this treatment? Why?

  • @NoName21234 I was thinking the same thing. Even with greazy hair and incessant drinking and smoking, they would not have looked that awful that soon.

  • "The most shocking thing a man has ever heard?" Impotence is surely awful. But the MOST shocking?

  • why are all the men so old? they're supposedto be in their early thirties, not fifties!

  • I can't get over how much 2:01 looks like Sean Connery!

  • Great Movie Great Cast!!!
