The Bridges of Madison County

The Bridges of Madison County – my all time favourite. I had wanted to watch the movie for a long time and got a chance to watch it over the weekend. Clint Eastwood and Merryl Streep were at their best, no doubt, the photography was brilliant, and everything about the movie was as beautiful as it should be.

But, after watching the movie I felt, rather, couldn’t help feeling, that something was lacking, the movie was not as profound as the book. I tried my best to stop thinking about it and even read the bits and pieces of the book again. But sadly, I continue to feel that the intensity of the written word was not adequately transposed.
