Movie of Jennie

It’s interesting that they chose to make Jennie even more ambiguous in the film than in the book. We find ourselves doubting her existence, despite the interactions she has with Eben.

There were a few notable differences, but my favorite one was the fact that Jennie’s friend, Cecily, is “in Boston” instead of dead from scarlet fever (Who knows…maybe “moved to Boston” is a euphemism for death? Haha.)

This post is ridiculously lacking in substance, but I think I’ll have much more to say once we finish the film. I’m trying to reserve judgment, and I’d rather not make connections until I see which elements and themes are common throughout the entire movie.
