I watched the movie "Girl with a Pearl Earring" today. What a joke! They massacred the characters. The main character, Griet, was almost non-existant in the movie. The portrayal of Jans Vermeer was horrible. He was completely 1-dimensional. The mother-in-law, had none of the humor that her character portrayed in the book. Peter's father had almost no lines, so they did not give him any humor, either. Tonica was much harder and angrier in the book than in the movie. It did not even end correctly. Hell, it didn't begin correctly. Griet's sister and brother were not even mentioned. They just destroyed the book with that movie. I am so disappointed in the whole thing. Read the book, don't watch the movie. The book is awesome, the movie is an insult to the book.
