Sybil Movie

[mysticeden.livejournal.com]

I finally saw Sybil this weekend with my room mate who is also a multiple. I had read the book but never seen the film. I thought her acting was amazing! Me and my room mate both looked at each other in shock. If we hadn't known it was an actress I might have believed her. I was surprised since she's a singlet (as far as I know).

Besides from that the movie was good, although I don't understand why they made all the alters into children. That was very weird especially since a lot of them were either the same age as Sybil or older. In all reality I cant judge the movie alone because all the holes in the story I knew about since I read the book.

One question though, who was the guy? does anyone know? I knew of a few different guys in the book, but the love interest in the movie seemed like a combination of them and her best friend (who did not appear in the movie anyway).


Well this is just me ranting but I'd like to hear your opinions on this movie or the book.

It's kind of a "scary movie"... so becareful with kids watching it (learned that the hard way!) One goes around killing all the rest...

We nearly saw it, but Lu in particular is very jumpy, so we decided against it. She's not a kid, just not good with some films. Pity because after we heard it was about (some form of) multiplicity, we became far more curious, whereas previously it was just another scary movie.

It's on our list of movies to rent eventually.

I'm very jumpy with scary movies... This one didn't scare me as much for some reason. I don't know why really. I didn't consider it very scary, but some do. I think it was because it seemed to kinda be obvious when there was going to be the sight of someone being hurt/killed... So we could just turn away from seeing it...

Oooh! Sounds like something us older peops would like. We'd have to watch that one aftter the kids went to bed but still, popcorn and a late-night horror flick. Sounds like our idea of a perfect Saturday night.
