Light Between Oceans Book Comparison

Improved Essays
Light Between Oceans? More like oceans made from our tears. The Light Between Oceans was a movie made from a book. With all book made movies you tend to wonder: “Will the movie live up to the book? Will anything change? Will anything be better/worse about the movie? What parts did they cut out from the book?” and so much more. But Derek Cianfrance did an amazing job grasping all the details from the novel version of The Light Between Oceans. This film will make you laugh and will make you cry, but most of all it will keep you on the edge of your seat. This heart wrenching movie about a couple who can’t seem to ever find happiness, will leave you wanting more.
In this film main characters Tom Sherbourne and Isabel Graysmark have a tough time being optimistic when tragedy hits. When an opportunity of a lifetime comes their way, the decision that they make will send their life

I also think that anyone who loves a good romance movie or a good dramatic movie would really like this film. I believe this because not only is a love story between Tom and Isabel, but it is also a movie that has numerous suspenseful parts to it. But on the other hand people who like films that have action from beginning to end might not enjoy this film. This is due to the fact that nothing exciting really happened until minutes into the film. I feel that this story might also appeal to the female audience more than the male audience due to all the drama and feelings that this movie has; this movie might be described as a “Chick Flick”. This movie is rated PG-13. I give this movie an A-. I think that the movie was very interesting and intriguing, but I feel that the story could’ve started to develope faster. I think that everyone should definitely experience the beauty that is this

    Although I have not read the beloved book upon which this film is based, I have been greatly anticipating this film for quite some time. After seeing part one, I naturally want to cast every other book aside and hunker down and read the entire book from cover to cover. I expected this to be decent, but it was beyond that. While I cannot speak to whether this version is faithful to the book, I can guarantee that this on all counts, this film will not disappoint. One other thing to note--the cast for this film is pretty massive for a Hallmark film.…
