The Pearl Best Movie Ever (Not Really)
The Pearl made by Alfredo Zacarias has one of the worst interpretations of the pearl ever, i don't think he even read the book. Bad acting and horrible effects(the pearl looks like a light bulb).This does not even have some of the details in the book.
*SPOILER WARNING*
The movie the pearl is based around a fisherman named Kino (Lukas Haas) finds the pearl of the world(supposedly), and he goes to sell it. He has a lot of hardships along the way like his baby Coyotito being bitten by a scorpion, his house being burnt, his dad dying, and he kills three people.
In the book Coyotito (the baby) dies, in the movie Coyotito lives. This movie only spent like a dollar on graphics. They have a scene where Jauna is like "the rain is coming" and it showed rain that was going about 70 miles an hour that looked like it was played from a VCR player (if you don't know what that is look up what a movie played by one looks like). When the rain starts it only goes where the cast is, like they took a fire hose and brought it out of camera and threw it on the boat. This is why the movie is CRAPPY. The doctor(Richard Harris), is not a big character in the book but in the movie he is the main antagonist.
This movie is so horrible I almost vomited on my computer writing this. I give it one star. Do not watch this movie. In most cases the book is worst then the movie, but in this case, vice versa.
