Nope.....

No actually it isn't - I've read the book the film is based on and it's exactly as I described it. Obviously you haven't read the book.

That was my original point - why the movie should not be made; the book was bad enough - put it in glorious technicolour with added gore and idiots will think it's real.

Sadly all that seems lost on you in you rush to appear superior. What a shame.

@ opiekimba - When 'The Birds' came out, people were still sensible and didn't think it was real. Sadly when 'Jaws' came out and people believed all great whites were like the movie version it was the start of things to come. The great white has always been reviled since then.

I wouldn't have a problem if people who make the movies had a foreword and postscript reminding people this was just a film/book adaptation and FICTION; that these animals, etc are NOT like that and so please do not believe the real world animals, etc are going to do what those in the film/book did. But they don't; they just leave it and have people thinking it's legit.

As a christian I never had a problem with 'the passion of the christ'. I could speak for myself to those would use the film to naysay my religion; and I welcome anything that helps me question my faith. I am a (fairly) articulate human; I am able to speak for myself against anyone offering me nothing but hatred.

However, animals, etc do NOT have that luxury - which is why a whole pack of wolves were wiped out; why a lot of dogs are abandoned by idiotic owners and why 'good ole boys' go hunting 'dangerous' coyotes, etc. They DO believe the film/book and no one tells them it's NOT real.

Some books shouldn't be made into movies; '50 shades.....' was one (the film was NEVER going to live up to the fevered imagination of a frustrated woman) and this is another. For the heartbreaking outcome alone, nor should 'The Grey'.

Animals can't speak to defend themselves; by the time humans try to do so for them, it's always too late. So I just wish these animal, etc hating movies did NOT get made - or, if they have to, that someone had the decency to remind the idiots seeing it (at the beginning AND the end) that it's NOT real.

I'm not trying to censor anyone; just appealing for someone to start using commonsense - it's in too much of a short supply these days when it comes to movie making.

There IS a book and it is called DISGRACE. Kornél Mundruczó even said as much in numerous interviews, including a 'roundtable' discussion at Cannes. So I suggest you take your trolling 'full of *beep* comments with you as you close the door on your way out.

I don't care what the film makers did - most people who have seen this film, of which I know three, all loathed it for the impression it gave of dogs. Do you know how hard it is to be a dog owner these days, especially in the UK, thanks to the scaremongering of the media and the government?

I used to volunteer at a dog rescue, my daughter does so now, and the stories we could tell of what those dogs suffer is horrendous. We've volunteered at what the Americans call 'no kill' shelters - but there's plenty of so-called charities (like the RSPCA) who DO kill the animals over the least excuse. Rescues are full to bursting because of imbeciles who panic at the stories on the news, in books and movies and rush their dogs to the rescue - that's the ones who don't choose to have them killed instead.

Some people are NOT reasonable; some people are NOT logical - they are completely guided by media hysteria and whatever they see on the movie screen, the tv screen or read in a book.

So pardon me for being angry at people who make dogs look vicious killers; we should be trying to convince the public they are the OPPOSITE.

No, but I know three people who have and who think the same as I do. They also say it's obvious to see where it's based on the novel 'Disgrace'.

I've actually seen the film myself now and stand by what I say. It DOES show dogs in a terrible light - something they don't need MORE of given recent scaremongering in the press. As I told you I volunteered in a dog rescue in the past, my daughter volunteers at one now and the amount of dogs being abandoned by idiot owners who fear them because of the scaremongering media and movies like this one is escalating.

I am sick and tired of people making films which idiots will believe to be true and act accordingly. Many marine biologists have said the film Jaws is one of the main reasons the Great Whites are nearly extinct because morons went out killing them wholesale because they thought they'd 'eat their babies'.

Wolves have been hunted because of the movie 'The Grey' and rednecks believing that wolves are actually some kind of sentient being out to hunt them down first; when actually wolves are terrified of humans.

There are so many instances of morons and fools believing movies and hunting and killing wildlife (and each other) because they think what they saw was true.

Having seen this film, it's no different. I'm very sad that these sorts of films are still being made. You imply people are not easily led; well, I live near Alton Towers and the media scaremongering over the accident that took place there has nearly driven the park out of business.

Even though the victims themselves have said it was a tragic accident and the park owners have bent over backwards to help them (unlike some owners would). But that NEVER got reported; ONLY the bad stuff and so no one's been going.

The knock on effect for surrounding businesses has also been catastrophic. We still don't know if the park itself, along with THOUSANDS of people who's livelihoods depend on it, will even survive; this is in a high unemployment area, so many people rely on the park for a job. The general populace CAN be easily led this incident is a prime example - that is the shame of it. Films like this are all very well for those who can tell the difference between fiction and reality - but there's always that ilk that go off the deep end; and that batch is growing in number. Our local rescues, stuffed to the rafters with unwanted dogs, proves it.

I watched it on Netflix - I stand by what I said. I also named the book it's based on. However, your opinion; you're entitled to it - just like I am to mine.
