Shiloh and the movie

Comment:

My class just read Shiloh and it was the best book I have read in years.My favorite part of the book is when Judd let Shiloh out of the truck at the end of the movie and it just made me have good feelings through out the day or any day. Why did the movie change so much compared to the book?

Phyllis replied:

Movies like to put more action in the story.  I allowed it because it didn’t change the feelings much.  In both the book and the movie, Judd grudgingly gives Shiloh back to Marty–it just changes the way he did it.  I felt that most of the movie, especially the dialogue–stayed true to the way it was in the book.
