Ok so I just finished Anna Karenina 2012 after reading the book abt a month ago

what the fuck

It felt like they still had around a third of the book's plot to go but then Anna just died and we cut to Levin having a completely different epiphany?? Then it ends with Karenin watching Annie and Seryozha play?????

Like I get that it's basically impossible to cram all of Anna Karenina into one feature-length film but goddamn

#And don't get me started on how this movie portrays karenin #In the movie Karenin is SO much more sympathetic than he is in the book but?? They also completely removed his most sympathetic chapter??#Same with Vronsky although to a lesser degree I feel #THEY ALSO CUT OUT LIKE HALF OF LEVIN AND KITTY'S STUFF #KITTY NEVER WENT TO THE SPA TO GET CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOP A SECOND LESBIAN CRUSH ITS SO TRAGIC #Levin's brother Nicholas is there yes but like??? Barely #THE CHAPTER WHERE HE DIES ISNT EVEN ONSCREEN #And it's like?? One of the most important chapters in the whole book??#oogh #Like dont get me wrong Levin's chapters are a drag but #THERES NOTHING THERE IN THE MOVIE #Also I can understand why I guess but for as much as Christianity is discussed in the book it's barely relevant in the film
