Yesterday, Nov 5th 2017, on Sunday, I saw the film “The Magic of Ordinary Days” (2005) in the evening at the weekend end.
As we already know it was based on the novel “The Magic of Ordinary Days” (2001) by Ann Howard Creel. Beautifully written and filled with memorable characters, this Ann Howard Creel's novel is a powerful exploration of the nature of trust and love.
I rarely find time to see films, especially recently. So I was pleased to see this nice film on the Internet.
It’s a very great American drama. Personal events are mixed with the Second World War spirit.
Have you seen it?
What’s your opinion about this film?
What do you prefer - the book or its film version? Some people say that the film is better than the book.
Thank you for reading.

I found the review very interesting and I am thinking that I might prefer to watch the movie instead of reading the book. I too would not like Olivia's whiny character as portrayed in the book. However in the film it seems her manner improves over time and makes for a nice ending.

I tried for it a very long back.But, I could not find it on the Internet. Of course, this must have been loaded subsequently.

I watched the film with Bulgarian translation. It was adapted to us, Bulgarians. The film has sub titres in Bulgarian language. It was well translated here.

I did not see that but I saw a wonderful movie about the second World War with Colin Firth (true story) called the Railway Man. Great acting! Story about a wife's devotion (Nicole Kidman) to her husband who suffers from post war trauma from being imprisoned and tortured in a Japanese prison camp. It explores Firth's capacity to forgive someone and show empathy for atrocities committed to him during the war. Terrific ending, a little graphic in parts of the movie during the flashbacks, but superb movie!
