It seems like you are changing what you are talking about on the fly. First you said it was a mistake. Now it seems you are equating plot errors to changes from the book, as if the two were synonymous.<P>If you are saying that because this is a change from the book it is therefore an error, I have to contend with that.<P>If you are saying that since it is a change from the book and is therefore not worth discussion, I have to contend with that too. Films should have their own internal logic that is independent of any books they are based upon.<P>If you are simply making the observation that this is a change from the book, then I would have to agree with the observation, but that was not what you said in your original post in this thread.<P>H.C.
