The book and movie almost started off the same- with Jaine awakening and describing the pear tree; beautiful passage. Now remember in the book, Janie's Grandmother was raped, got pregnant, had her daughter, then her daughter was raped, had Janie (both by white men). Halle Berry is mixed in real life and to cast her was good choice; she fits the part perfectly. Also, remember her hair was talked about a lot in the book. Texture of a white person but still curly and able to grow it out longer than a normal black woman could because of the texture of the hair. However, there are always going to be differences between a book and a movie; In the way they made conversations were a little boring and gave no point when in the book, they were more meaningful talks. The plot of the movie skips some major events that occurred in the book. The movie made the story seem flat, and the major actions that were supposed to be grabbing to the audience were easy to miss. The book is a lot more interesting than the movie. But the movie itself, if you don't compare it to the book was pretty good. (I prefer the book over the movie)
