We watched The Old Man in the sea in English I really did like the movie. There were a lot of good parts. For example when the sharks started attacking the marlin and Santiago was defending the marlin. The book was really different movie because in the movie he had a daughter and the book didn't. There were some parts that were like told over and over again. Also some of the scenes really looked fake like when the marlin jumped out and when the sharks attacked. Also when the sharks came it looked like it was cut out of another movie and put in. But other wise it was really good and there was scenes of Cuba and those were really good parts. Comparing them both I liked the book because it was really detailed and interesting. Also when there was shark coming they said that he caught it but he really didn't. I have seen a lot of parts in the story that were put into the movie. It was really suspenseful at times like when he was attacking the sharks and when he trying to catch the marlin. At times it was really boring and then like after awhile it got rally good again. Over all I thought it was really good, but it was really short and that at the end it didn't make senses. It should have gone on longer then it would make a lot more sense. I would've liked to see when he went to see his grandchildren and how life went for him after the two day journey. I think that people would enjoy it better and people would gave the movie a lot more stars. Over all I would give this movie 6 stars because the way the move came out.
