Description

"A Separate Peace" is, at it's deepest level, a fable about flawed human nature, which attempts to find in a personal act of betrayal a paradigm of the impulse to War. Gene and Finny, two sixteen-year-old roommates at a prep school in New England during World War II come to grips with the war, jealousy and betrayal. Based on a novel by John Knowles.

    The book has always been in my top- ten favorite books of all time and the movie was NOT a disappointment.

    As soon as I read the first three chapters of the novel, I knew I had to buy the movie! And let me tell you, it is really good!!! Most of the time, movies don't go with their novels, but this one does. It does skip some minor parts, but all-in-all it still captured my heart...just as the book did. If you loved the book, you'll LOVE the movie :) Oh and another thing....Phineas is so CUTE!!!!! Haha I can see why Gene was so jealous.

    The movie didn't change my attitude toward the book. It actually made me hate it even more. Personally, they totally screwed up Phineas (although the guy playing him made a good attempt at it) and Gene...well, it's Gene. He's always been stupid. Although I thought the movie was a little better...it wasn't by much.
