How is Indignation different from the book?

Really interesting article. I see how things from the book that differ from the movie were subtlety integrated.

For example, the article says in the novel Marcus was prepared to go to war and they young men were prepared on campus. In one scene, you do see cadets marching on the lawn in uniform.

It also said that in the book Marcus' roommate is killed when he tries to outrace a train in a blizzard. In the movie Marcus' father tells him this happened to someone from his home town, when they are talking on the phone...

Thanks for posting the article link. It was very helpful. Although I admired most of the film, especially the performances, I wasn't crazy about the ending. The article echoes my thoughts --

"The same can be said for Marcus’s death: in the novel the omnipresent Korean war makes his death feel cosmically ordained, like it is a part of a larger national tragedy, whereas in the film his decision to go off to war is as sudden as the bayonet strike that kills him. The war scenes, in the very final minutes of running time, almost strike us as a senseless, harrowing appendix to a separate story."
