Went to see this last night for a fundraiser. The movie wasn't bad, but it didn't do the book justice and missed the point somewhat. There were several key parts left out.
SPOILER ALERT...
-The scene in the bathroom where she realises that she wants to get out of the life that she has created but doesn't know how and that a solution doesn't present itself quickly-in fact not at all.
-The key effects that meditation had her life and resolving the mess that she'd had a huge part in creating.
-The general fart-arsing around and cultural stuff associated with giving money to the Balinese woman to buy a house.
-The fact that she said 'no' several times to Felipe before they got together.
Has anyone who hasn't read the book seen the movie? If so, what did you think?
