I've not read the book. But from you saying that.. its a must do now! After I get through these HP books >.><br/><br/>I am a sucker for romance of any kind.. historical are my favorites... forbidden... hopeless... tragic.. mmm.. yes.. all of it.<br/><br/>I think most of all I loved the culture in the film, and won't pretend to know if its at all true or not, but it was so lovely I like to think it was true to form! :D   I'm in love with Asian culture in general, not just the pop culture but the entirety of it. I've seen a few love story films with subs. I adore them.
