Thoughts on the scarlet letter movie?

Which movie? The one with Demi Moore? I always tell my students to remember that the movie is "based on" the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne rather than a true portrayal of the novel. If you watch the movie version that was done by the Boston TV Station WGBH, I can say that it is, to quote the LA Times, "A completely faithful, totally fascinating dramatization of a masterpiece generally regarded as the first great American novel." Nearly everything, including the narration, is true to Hawthorne's writing.

Yeah, I meant the one with Demi Moore. I have to do a review on that one do you think you could give me your perception on the questions I asked?

How does the movie resemble the novel?

Does the movie portray the novel's themes, symbols, and archetypes?

How is the quality of the acting?

Does the actor become the character?

Do they make you feel a certain way?

How are the design elements of the movie?

Are the costumes/make-up/setting appropriate for the time period?

Do they fit with the story?
