The Body in the Library

The acting was very good and McEwan made a charming Miss. Marple. I admire Miss. Marple. She is always an engaging character that exemplifies genius and the importance of paying attention to the details. Miss. Marple solves crimes by tying together clues that no one else pays attention to. It is comical to watch her frustrate the inspectors in charge of the investigations by always outsmarting them, but in the end the inspectors are thoroughly impressed and befriend Miss. Marple. Seeing intelligent women in literature and film inspire me, and hopefully other women.

The scenery was lovely and the plot twist sensational. Overall, a good movie. My only problem is that the ending was changed from the book. Why a lesbian angle? If a lesbian relationship had been included in the book, fine, but it wasn't, so why change it? Don't change the murderer and then call it Agatha Christie. It just isn't right.
