I stayed up late on a Sunday night to watch Their Eyes Were Watching God on ABC. Halle Berry played Janie and did an outstanding job. The movie did give away the ending early for me, but I don't regret watching it. Those of you that watched the movie, what did you think of it? Oprah has called this the best love story ever written. Do you agree?
PS...Don't just tell that you like it or not. Give good reasons and details. What were the best parts? Most poignant? Most realistic? How did Janie change? Etc, etc, etc.

I'm glad you liked what you saw of the movie and what you have read of the book. I think Berry is an outstanding actress, but I am stuggling to put her face over the Janie in the book.
James, its interesting that you said that about Nanny. The woman who played Nanny was Ruby Dee--the narrator of our story.
