I decided to buy this movie because the book was just so awesome. The movie only covers a small portion of her book but it was done well. It just brings the book to life although i wish it had continued a little more. The ending was appropriate.
I bought Caged Bird for personal enjoyment and for showing at school. I enjoyed the period clothing, houses, setting. The movie was very realistic for the depression south. The movie ends on a high note - when Maya graduated from high school, whereas the book ends with the birth of her son. I thought that this was an appropriate treatment of the subject matter for middle school viewing. I wish the movie had shown the episode of the peckerwood dentist and grandma Annie Johnson.
