I personally thought movie wasn't very pleasing, but t a few tweaks here and there, could make this movie at least pleasing. I recently watched The Pearl in my seventh grade English class, and unfortunately most of my class disliked it. The Pearl has obviously received zero award success. In my immediate memory, I cannot think of a movie which was worse than this. The Pearl was an overall terrible movie, and I found myself laughing aloud at the poor filmmaking and acting.

And of course the director couldn't resist throwing in a love scene that lies nowhere in the book. The director also had a poor eye for detail with little mistakes throughout, such as Kino's black spandex that he was wearing underneath his loin cloth, which can be scene plainly during the diving scene.

With random characters thrown in to state obvious facts, my favorite being the man with the beard proudly announcing that 'they have not yet said a price' during the appraisal scene. Each scene of the movie was extremely poorly crafted, and even laughable to watch. Once again, though, this was not the case. Even without the actors help, the director can still make a movie a success. Nevertheless, I still do not understand why this two-time Oscar nominee chose to do this movie. Richard Harris, playing the villain of the movie (not of the book), was a slight saving grace, and was able to do the best with the lines he was given. Physicality can be overcome if the actor believes in his part and is committed, however this is not the case as Lukas Haas would just stand there watching the other actors go, even though they were not even half-decent, trying desperately to remember his lines. Lukas Haas was cast as the lead, Kino, who is described in the book as a large and strong man who has physically worked for everything in his life I would be surprised if Lukas Haas weighs more than 150 pounds. The actors of any movie are a good place to start, so that is what I will do. With that aside, I will concentrate on the movie and how it was made.

Where the writers and director changed the story, which they did very frugally. I watched this movie out of curiosity since I had just finished the book, and that was where my dislike began. The Pearl, released in 2001, and probably the worst movie of that year.
