The movie adaptation of the book was done poorly and in such a way that you take a strong female supporting character, and turn her into and someone for the male professor to teach history. It was such a disappointment after the books. I'm not sure if it was because they got Tom Hanks as the lead and didn't have a known French actress to play the woman. It made me made when I saw this movie in the theaters and it still upsets me to this day every time I come across this movie and think about what it should have been.
If you haven't read the books, the story is pretty good if you can get past that part. Highly recommend reading the books after watching the movie.
