What is the story, not the movie, but the story, like. Is it interesting or boring?

All the stories I remember are interesting. Some of them made me laugh.\n\nNow, which story were you asking about?

You should really watch the movie, if you don't want to read it.  It is fantastic, and a little weird, since the Jets and the other gang actually dance their fights.  It is an excellent story.  You shouldn't try and get the quick version of this story.  You could actually learn alot from it.

I show it to my Classical Civilisation class and it does follow the basic story. Most of the bits are in order and they all follow the basic plot. The best bits are Circe, Calypso and the Suitors Challenge. What it wont help you with is learning about Homer's use of language and story telling as you wont be reading it in his words. He mentions lots of other myths and legends that arent in the film version.\nOverall, I thought that the film was really good. It gives you visual help with the way that the book is plotted and helps to flesh out the characters. (PS Cyclops is really funny!).

There is no true story or real people.  It is a work of fiction.  The movie was based on the Stephen King novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption".

I base movies/musicals based solely on my enjoyment of them.  It has to be entertaining and a good story, otherwise its not gonna be a favorite.  As an aside - I definitely agree about Wicked - I LOVE it (both because I enjoyed the story and that I saw it for the first time with my best friend.)

When I first saw GHOST STORY in the '80s, I thought it was one of the best stories of its type ever told.\n\nSeeing it again tonight on cable, my opinion has changed. Yes, all the elements for a good tale of ghostly doings are in place--but they never really reach a satisfying enough pattern in the scheme of things.\n\nThe acting is excellent, the suspense is taut at times, but much of it spins along at too slow a pace before anything happens. The giggling schoolboys are rather tiresome in the flashbacks that reveal what happened to the woman they were all smitten with. As played by Alice Krige, she's an enigmatic seductress with a wicked gleam in her eyes and we never know quite what she is about to do. Craig Wasson does well with the role of a young man who encounters her, falls briefly for her and then leaves her when her neurotic ways become too much for him.\n\nHow she takes revenge on the four men who were responsible for her death is the comeuppance of the tale. Whether you're willing to watch until the bitter end without changing channels is another thing. On the other hand, this is not the sort of movie to watch with so many commercial interruptions breaking the mood.\n\nFred Astaire, John Houseman, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Melvyn Douglas play the four old men who were drawn under the spell of a girl, seduced as they were by her charms. Each must confront their past deed as she exacts some sort of revenge on them--that is the nub of the plot, but it could have been so much better had the script been better developed.\n\nI never read the novel, but I imagine it fills in the many gaps in the story that seem to be missing.

Oh yes, indeed!\n\nWhenever I have extra time, I go home and read books, scan them into my computer with the barcode scanner I bought with my birthday money, and search for first editions I can buy.  I couldn't have more fun.\n\nmy family and friends say it's boring.  boring compared to what?  spending your time watching tv?  skydiving?  maybe.\n\nI guess boring depends on taste, too.  :)

ur imagination's grt but i don't think its a grt movie making story....its more like a documentary, try adding more spice to it by individualizing the story....something like Die Another Day.

I liked it - saw it Friday, having read the book it hurt the suspense of the movie ( that happens when you know the end), but it was pretty true to book.\nCharacters fit their parts well. It isn't Lord of the Rings but it as good as any movie I have seen this year. Of course, it has been an off year. Everyone complaints on the religions view need to remember it is fiction, there is not a middle earth where they make monsters either - but it did not mean I was not entertained by Lord of the Rings. That is why they call it fiction. My husband & I liked it. (and no one in theater went to bathroom during 2-1/2 hr movie usually means it interesting)

The first answer is correct, the story is good.  It's a great example of how women were (and are still in some cases) treated and how detrimental it can be.  Definitely worth reading!!

It's a wonderful story about giving up what you love for someone else.\n\nDidn't you like it?

*** Good.\n\nIt was a bit too long, and it dragged on at the end. They also changed and left a bunch of stuff out of the movie that was in the book, which was a bit disappointing. But the suspense in the beginning and the thrills make it worthwhile.

I think the writing is so simple, and although Brown is not a spectuacular "writer" through critics, I think the simpler the better. Furthermore, the storyline is just so intriguing that it's hard to not be captivated in his plots.\n\nThe movie should be equally as interesting!
