I thought that when I heard that they were making it into a movie that the ending might be hard to understand. After seeing the movie, I thought the ending was handled perfectly. The last scenes are not throw away but are very important to the "meaning" of the work. The Sheriff's last words especially point this up. In a Godless universe what is the point of throwing oneself up against, what I heard one reviewer best describe as "implacable injustice"? Also, understand, that the movie (and the book) is simply about the sheriff. Everything else is window dressing. - schqc Fri, 30 Nov 2007 15:20:11 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/movies/the-sound-of-silence-no/#comment-372 good review, Mike, but: it was Gerturde Stein who said of Oakland "Once you get there, you find there's no there there." Not Dorothy Parker. - jturner Thu, 29 Nov 2007 09:51:56 +0100
