When a truly great author writes such a thoughtful and penetrating book , one would hope that screenwriters and producers would render it the respect it deserves , but such respect is sadly lacking in this grossly inaccurate dramatization of a true classic . Whether or not you plan to watch this visually rich piece , Please read the book ! If you have any appreciation or interest in traditional Chinese culture , do yourself a favor and read the book before watching this ! The film's inaccuracies rank with those of BBC's Victoria of 2016-2019 , particularly the respective relationships of the main character of each with Father Andre and Lord Melbourne . Painful to watch if you love the book !
