    I saw the movie as well, I enjoyed it very much. I'd like to reiterate, for the purposes of our book club, don't see the movie without reading the book. Part of the beauty of the book is McBrides writing. Though I enjoyed the movie, it doesn't evoke the same feelings as McBrides written word.

    Don't believe the critics ladies. My daughter and I saw Miracle at St. Anna - the movie and enjoyed it immensely. Many of the critics stated there were too many storylines. My daughter did not read the book and said she was able the movie with no problem. My daughter and I were the only African-Americans in the theater. What a shame!!!!

    The movie by Spike Lee is out. It would be interesting to traverse our thoughts between the two mediums. I will bring Diet Coke.
