Heads up, the new adaptation cuts too much from the book.
This hurts the story's depth and leaves the characters flat.

The 2019 version chopped out like 3 whole chapters about the main character's sister. That backstory was so important for understanding why he was so angry all the time. Without it, he just seems like a jerk instead of a hurt person. It just makes the whole family conflict feel weak and confusing. They traded depth for a faster plot and it ruined the emotional payoff.

Remember that time the movie left out the BEST character arc?

The director cut the entire subplot about the sister's letters from the war. I mean, that was the whole reason for the main fight in the third act. It just makes the ending feel totally random and unearned now.
