I liked the part where she get's her sort of revenge and it becomes known that Andy raped her. I was glad the truth finally came out. It's such an intense movie.
Gah, I love this movie so much. Seriously, it took me ages to find the DVD, I couldn't get it online anywhere and then I went to a garage sale and it was there! :thud: I couldn't believe my luck. I watch it constantly now. :sigh: Kristen is amazing in it, I can't believe how young she was when she did it.
I saw this on lifetime a long time ago, and it was recently showed in my class after we read the book. I'd already read it 3 times. I liked the movie and the girl they picked for Melinda is absolutely perfect, I believe it was Kristian Stewart. She looked just like I imagined she would. It could have fallowed the book a little bit better, but it was still awesome.
I did a IMDB search and found a page for "Speak". I didn't look too much to not get spoiled but the tag line: The Truth Will Change Everything. really works.
since this movie is a showtime original picture, i don't think its out on DVD or theaters. my friend was in this movie and informed me just in time to see it today. so i wished i posted this on here early enough. but if there are any showings of this movie later ... i will post it here for everyone to see.
and again, its a really great movie and captures the moments.
Did anyone see this film? ... its an independent film ... and thats basically all i can give before i give the story away. i just saw it tonight and it was sooooo deep and beautifully made after the book, Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. ahh ... i still can't get over how nicely it was done. i wish most movies could spend more time with the plot.
