this film is so good, i think. it follows the book so well and there is never dull moment. i also liked the way that jeremy irons and his son both starred in this; it gave the film more of a family feel if you get what i mean. i really liked this film and think it is one of the best adaptations of a roald dahl book to have been made so far!
sharei have to agree wholeheartedly with that comment amazing film i recommend everyone see's it, its a beautiful story that actually did do the novel justice, i just hope hollywood never thinks about remaking it.
shareI know! I absolutely adored Jeremy Irons in it, he was so good. He even managed to smile with his eyes! I hope they never do a remake, it's perfect already.
Dear God, why do You shackle me with *politicians*?
i so agree, it';s a chamiong story and one of roulds best, a father & son together, very rare in children fiction...most of the time, there neglected or orpans
Thunderbirds Aren't Slow
It's really great, hardly anyone knows about it though. It's also said to be the one adaptation of his books that Roald Dahl really loved.
sharei liked the movie,really good but i cant say that it is the best movie jeremy made. as someone else saaid a familly film. ... i just wonder why doesnt sam irons play anymore in movies, i heard he is now a photografer.
shareI agree with all the comments here. I caught this film on PBS in America in the early nineties. I was excited that a film adaptation had been made because "Danny" is one of my favorite books. I think it contains one of the best fictional father/son relationships I've ever read. I can't wait for this film to get a DVD release in America.
