Yesterday, I finished up the book "The Constant Gardener" so Kristin and I went to see the movie today. Although they differ a bit, I felt the movie was pretty true to the book and the concepts were the same. Both the book and movie have great social commentary and are depressing, yet educational at the same time. The movie was well done - it does not follow a linear storyline so if you are easily confused don't go - and the actors/actresses do an excellent job. We've only been to a handful of movies this year but I do keep up with pop culture, so in my humble opinion, I would think this movie will get some Oscar attention. Kristin was a little confused on the conspiracy and I would agree it's not fully explored in the movie - the book helped me out in knowing who everyone was and how everything had happened. I guess the movie was actually filmed in Nairobi and it's eye opening to see what that part of the world really looks like. When you walk out of the movie you can't help but feel guilty about living in the environment that we do and all the advantages we have over a third world country.
