Summary: 1 Stars
Raintree county is a magical book although not a quick read. I've read the book 5 or 6 times over the years and I continue to go back to it periodically. To me it's a work to be savored, sipped, drunk in and held on the tongue where hints of new scents and flavors appear and then vanish. The movie is a decent film but does not hold a candle to the written work. The filmakers could never have hoped to capture the essense of this book in a two hour movie and, so, should never have attempted it.
The book is a hidden gem, almost as long forgotten as the ficticious Indiana county itself.
"Hard roads and wide will run through Raintree County. You will hunt it on the map but it won't be there. For Raintree County is not the country of the perishable fact. It is the country of the enduring fiction. The clock in the Court House Tower on page 5 of the Raintree County Altas is always fixed at nine o'clock, and it is summer and the days are long."
"Raintree County...which had no boundaries in time and space, where lurked musical and strange names and mythicakl and lost peoples, and which was itself only a name musical and strange."
It is indeed a magical book which has touched me in multiple ways. I will say the musical soundtrack is well done - haunting and touching. In order to do this book justice, they would have needed about a 20 hour miniseries format along with brilliant producers and diredctors and a talented cast and, oh yeah a ton of money
