This was a great detailed explanation between the book and the film - thank you for explaining what happens in the book, as I was really curious after seeing the film - how it all started - the backstory, of why he lets Melinda have these affairs and why she has her own room in the house and they don’t necessarily sleep together in the same bed. So I appreciate you explaining that in the book Melinda loses romantic interest in Vic. I really enjoyed watching your review and explanation of the book and film.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful!
I found the movie super engaging for the first two thirds, although it was frustrating to see how they related to each other. I also felt bad for their kid having to grow up so fast because of their parents behaviours. The last third of the movie sucked lol. Thank you for sharing the comparison with the book!
Clicked on your video cuz I had no idea this movie was a book.. your gorgeous lashes and hair struck me immediately! So pretty! Thanks for this detailed video! Wish i had seen it first before the first one that popped up that was only 5 mins long! Lol
Thank you so much! That's so nice! 🤗
Glad you found the video informative!
I'm sure that since the book was more detailed--it explains everything even before the marriage of the 2-- such ass an open marriage and having a divorce is not even an option. That in the movie, it comes to show that the couple has finally come to an understanding that they even love each a lot more in that strange show of affection in a strange sort of way-- and the wife opened up her eyes that she wants te family together--thereby making her an accessory for keeping such a secret..
Since I haven't seen the book.., I believe in your opinion of the latter. The book explains every single detail to the point that it leaves nothing to anyone's imagination and shows the exact thing that happened.. / The movie leaves me wondering and puzzled that is why I reached out for ending reviews like this.. BUT also leaves us more room to have Deep Water--part 2... ..I wish another 20 more minutes would do to show more further. in the movie-- by fast forward the story if they want to show exactly what was in the book ends!
Thanks for your very detailed review and great analysis...--love the movie and the book as well., well portrayed by Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas.....
I love your explanation. It is very rare find comparing the book and the movie and doing justice for both. I find this a treasure. I was trying to mimic Patricia Smith style of writing for a particular story. Your fine explanation made me realize some points that got away from my scrutiny. Just luv it....
Thank you so much!
This channel is a gem.
Thank you! 😁
good breakdown, thank you. i wouldn't necessarily recommend the movie to anyone but it certainly kept my interest and it was full of suspense and a sense of dread throughout. it was at least interesting enough that i looked up the book vs movie and found your video.
the actress that played trixie was great, i can see her having success in more roles going forward.
Glad you liked the video!
And yeah, I liked it more than I expected but I don't see myself watching it a second time.
Agreed! I how to see her in more. She was so cute and talented!
I kind of feel like the only real problem with Affleck's casting is his physicality. The drowning in the book was frightening to me because it was a feat of strength that seemed all but impossible, yet it was done in a way that would leave almost no evidence. It would have been nice to see someone more slight, because it was like watching Batman drown another Batman.
Good point!
Nicely explained😊
Thank you!
Thank you for this! I love Ana de armas so when I saw this coming out I read the book before the movie to see it compared. I was disappointed they changed the ending but oh well it happens… if you read evenlyn Hugo I think she’d be a great evenlyn as their both supposed to be Cuban actresses she’s proving how good she is as of late! We’ll see I hope that book becomes a movie for sure. Just subscribed to you 🥰🥰
She was definitely a stand out in this! And yeah, I still have mixed feelings about the end and ultimately wish they would have stuck with the book ending.
I have heard so much about the Evelyn Hugo book but I still haven't read it!
Thanks for subscribing 😁
People are missing the central dynamic between Vic & Melinda in the movie. She is a hotwife. Vic is turned on by seeing her flirt with other men. That relationship does not exist in the book. In the book, Vic is merely an eccentric intellectual and Melinda is a toxic half-wit.
It's funny to find a place where they dare to compare the movie with the Highsmith book. Usually Patricia Highsmith books were always much better than any of the movies about them. And this goes without meaning the movies weren't worthy. For they always also were. It's clear she exerced control over the productions, through the contracts. Anyway, only in the case of The American Friend did I consider the movie superior to the book. And she had to correct herself about it, for initially she wasn't satisfied at all, with the Wenders resulting movie. It's undeniable Wenders directed a great movie. Not being, for me, the Ripley books, the best of PH. Deep Water, The Blunderer and This Sweet Sickness were her best. Though the critics praised The Tremor of Forgery as her best. The Cry of the Owl would be the fourth in my list of her best ones. Tried to find the Deville movie about Deep Water and also what Autant Lara did with The Blunderer, but there's no way to get them in DVD, they must be out of print or whatever. PH is a passionating author that as said, goes far beyond the genre. Her ability to make of an apparently normal or common man someone gradually becoming a criminal was more than notorious. She could lead us easily into the criminal mind. And her psychos were also much more interesting than the usual ones. Deep Water deals with jealousy, but initially from a different angle. Because Vic (the husband) seems to be tolerating his wife's flirting with their friends. Obviously, it becomes increasingly rare for their friends, the fact of Vic enjoying the process of becoming a cuckold. This is the starting point, of the plot. Everybody should read this famous author whose novel Strangers on a Train was one of her several taken into a movie. And in this case, it was Hitchcock, who took that into a movie. Basically, apart from the analysis of weird than usual psycho or sociopaths minds, would say Patricia Highsmith dedicated her works to the analysis of human relations, in general terms. Her works are psicologychal thrillers catching their readers from the mere beginning. The endings are left usually opened, you have to imagine the criminal is gonna be caught, though this is never explicit. No need of, you would say. Though when she started writing she broke the law about moral endings, which ruled yet in the States. But stupid laws are meant to be broken, aren't they? - She also proved to be an excellent Story Teller. Her books Eleven and Slowly Slowly in the Wind are good samples of this. Don't miss Patricia Highsmith, dare to enter in her weird but real universe. 🤗💎❤️🆗👍🙏
I’ll have to read the book at some point as I did like Highsmith’s previous works & probably the film as I do like Adrian Lynne’s work too; I think he did the better “Lolita” adaptation as he wasn’t constrained by ‘60s standards and we also don’t get the ending in the opening spoiled like Kubrick did which was a truly bad idea cause it’s pretty shocking in the book
Yeah you should check it out!
@@WhytheBookWins might have to renew the Hulu bundle with Disney+ 😆 didn’t have enough time for it recently lol
Ana d Armas is excelente Actriz
I haven't heard of this book/movie, but Vic sounds like a very interesting character!
Yeah he was. I think it's a book you would like!
We had a chapter in our ncert textbooks 😀👍
Loved the pointers of yours, as a fan of PH. Tho, world is tensed now, feel your speech too fast for me. Humble POV.
Sorry! I try and remember to slow down when recording.
Recently came known of PH. Found her extremely intriguing, unique imaginative as a not pretentious author. Like you. Wonder why, film makers never shoot her other Ripley books! Lots ppl, don’t like her. Wish, you can review more abt her work!
Thanks for the spoilers. Now I don't have to waste my time watching the movie.
Haha, you're welcome!
Do you think in the movie Vic confessed to his daughter about the murders telling her in detail and is planning on killing her plying her with wine?
No I don't think so at all
The movie was so choppy lol.
I decided to read the book before watching the movie... And I hated it so much, I'm skipping the movie now 🤣 I really didn't connect with any of the main characters: both are completely deplorable, and yet... Boring? I could not care about them. Anyway, I was curious about the book-movie comparison, so thanks for the great video!
I'm glad you found it helpful!
I read Mary killed the first guy.
Hm, that is never said in the book or movie. (And do you mean Melinda?)
In the book another man is arrested for the murder of Martin McRae. In the movie the killer is never found so hypothetically it could have been Mary but I personally don't think she did it.
@@WhytheBookWins this read gave an elaborate explanation of why it would be Mary? Like, she and Vic are actually hooking up and she killed the first guy Melinda was screwing because he was so pained over it. Idk, it's such a twisted movie.
@@tennysonparks2059 ooohh I see. I guess that could potentially be the case in the movie, but in the book Vic wasn't having an affair.
@@tennysonparks2059 no it was obviously Trixie...?
@@Roblox-jb2vf no, not the little girl.
