The Lords of Discipline | Directed: - Franc Roddam Actors/Actresses: - Michael Biehn - David Keith - Robert Prosky Saw the movie, THEN read the book I saw the movie before I read the book. This is a typical adaptation of a long novel. Yes, the novel was better, but the novel was DIFFERENT! A similar situation occurs with The Caine Mutiny as well as The Godfather. Written stories allow you to explore aspects of character and situation that just can't be effectively portrayed in film. In film, you can't have the character's thoughts effectively presented. The film concentrated on the relationship between Will and Pearce, while the book actually had two plots-Will and Pearce and Will and Annie Kate. Instead of comparing book and film, treat each as seperate entities and enjoy them independently. In this case, the movie was enjoyable. A good movie...if you've never read the book! I've read this book enough times to say that the movie is nothing compared to the book. I think that anyone who sees this movie should also read the book because it was so much better. The acting was very good, but complete characters were left out! Complete and important scenes were left out and other scenes were changed around! Sad to say, this movie is a discrace to the book. Wrong lead Michael Biehn should've been the lead as the director originally wanted. It was okay, but it would've been better.
