Review of Siddhartha

I read the novel Siddhartha and found it to be a very interesting, and good book.

In class today, we watched this film. It was just awful. Everyone in the class was laughing every five minutes because of how terrible both the acting and filming was.

The filming is dreadful. One second you'll see Siddhartha talking, and then it will randomly transition into some five second scene of a bird flying, or someone saying something random and irrelevant to the plot.

There is a scene where Kamala gets bit by a snake--you don't even see the snake bite her. You just see her scream this ear-piercing and unnatural scream and fall to the ground--it was possibly the worst acting of any scene in any movie I've ever seen.

Seriously, this movie is awful. I read the book and loved it, so did many of my AP Literature classmates, but not a single person in the room enjoyed the movie--they all laughed because of how terrible and random it was.

Siddhartha searched to find the realms of enlightenment--this movie searched the realms of stupidity and terrible acting, and succeeded.
