WARNING: spoiler
The movie, The Old Man and the Sea, was a bit boring. I watched the movie after I read the book in class. The book was good, but the movie wasn't, they added the most boring parts and skip some of the interesting parts. They added another character, who is his daughter. She was trying to get him to come and live with her, but he insisted on staying where he is. And the dreams about the lions on the beach were cut out of the movie, and there were not as much drama as in the book about what happened in the movie. It's a story about this old fisherman who hasn't caught a fish in a long time, so the others say that he has bad luck but he disagrees and there is a boy that believes in him, but can't fish with him because his parents say that he is not to because of the bad luck, they also say that he is old and weak. So to prove them wrong he has to catch a fish, a really big fish. So he sets out to sea farther out than anybody else, and sets his lines and waits for his first catch that was a tuna his second. Later he saw the line tug, so he grabs it and it starts to pull him far out in the sea. After a while of dragging the fish he gets tired and starts to come up from under the water. And then he saw what the fish was, it was a marlin, it was bigger than anything he had ever seen, and the fish continues to pull the boat suddenly it tugs the line, and the line cuts the old man. Later, the old man sees the fish slowing down, so he pulls the fish in slowly and then readies the harpoon but I won't tell you the end. I liked it, but don't take my word for it.
