Read the book?

I am currently reading the book. It is an interesting book. However, the book seems plotless and too confusing by the fifth chapter.

Yes. Over the years for some unknown reason I have managed to collect 10 different versions of it, including a copy from 1896. I also have 3 comic book versions. There is version of the comic which was releasd with the movie: Motion Picture Comics # 105,"The Red Badge of Courage",July 1951 with a picture of Audie Nurphey on the cover. Unfortunately I haven't been able to afford it. I believe a copy recently sold for around $1000US. I'm not sure how true it is though.

If I remember correctly the story of Henry Fleming doesn't end with the Red Badge of Courage. Crane wrote about Henry in a short story (all 4 pages) in 1896. The story is called 'The Veteran' and can be found it in a book titled "The Little Regiment" and other Civil War Stories. A version of Red Badge of Courage I purchased recently has it added at the end of the book.

I finished reading it recently. I can't imangine how Huston adapted it. It's such an internal story.

Yeah, I've read the book, and I'd like to see this movie. I wish it'd be broadcast on TCM but I'm not holding my breath for it.

Is this a piece of your brain?

OMG, O.M.-freakin'-G, I hated that book so much that I almost commited suicide to get out of reading it! lol


Because of the book, I avoided watching the movie for years, but finally saw it and LOVED it!
"Johnny Tremain," was great though!
Remember having to read that one and "Light in the Forest?"
Now you have me reminiscing back to 6th grade. lol

Holy Cow, I'm surprised at the negative comments about the book. I read this and loved it. I thought this was an easy read, I zipped right through it in an afternoon, it's short. This book used to be one that was read in school(Jr High)I came her looking for information about the film as I've never seen it, it will now be on my list of films to see.

Why must I read the book? We're talking about a movie here not a book. Two different mediums altogether.The book doesn't have brilliant monochrome cinematography or a splendid score or dynamic performances. Does it ???
