The Guide. . . . . . . .

Just recently we finished watching the Guide, a bollywood movie based on the novel by R.K. Narayan.  As usual in my perspective the movie failed to present the book properly.  Which is not uncommon in movies anymore.  The book I thought was very intriguing, and very. . . . . philosophical, in its own way.  The movie on the other hand was rather bland and lacked in the detail that the book displayed without going to in-depth.  And the traditional musical-bollywood film type really detracted from the plot and story line of the book.  The ending didn't real bother me, and really gave the movie the finality that the book really needed.  However the rest of the movie was rather lacking in the real point of the book.  And it focused more on the part of Nalini (Rosie) instead of the perspective of Raju, which is really what the book is all about.  And which also really displays the morals and teaches the lesson of the plot.  The book as I said earlier was excellent, however, I felt that the movie was a very poor representation of a fine novel.
