![]() ![]() I couldn't imagine them having any kind of relationship. I thought (my apologies Mr Reilly) that Franklin was supposed to be extremely attractive, to explain why such a strong willed, unusual woman like Eva married him, and continued to love him while he became unsupportive and alienated from her as he became obsessed with Kevin. It wasn't his performance which suited the all American dad, but his look did not go with the book descriptions of him. The part that I had a problem with was Franklin played by John C Reilly. ![]() I also liked the various incarnations of Kevin, good looking but with a slyness that matched his emotionless exterior. An unusual looking lady, gangly, independent and strong, plus more European looking than American, perfect as Eva. ![]() I thought that the casting of Tilda Swinton as Eva was brilliant. So I have to thank the film for encouraging me to read the novel at all. I totally loved the book and only read it after seeing the movie last October at the cinema. You may know too that the book was made into a successful movie that was released last year.Īs part of this years challenges I wanted to compare some books that had been made into movies. ![]() The whole time that I was reading the book I had a strong compulsion to write to Eva, the mother, and narrator of letters to her husband, and tell her how I felt about what she was saying about her son after he had become a killer, hence the letter form of the review. You may have read my review of the book We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver in my last post. ![]()
