The Sun also Rises

So "The Sun Also Rises" is one of my favorite books, and is a masterpiece by the great Hemingway, well was the movie version a classic well no. Was it good, well I and the friends I watched this movie with enjoyed it. It is good not great, it has its moments some of which are funny others of which show men being men, and a certain Lady Ashley being a slutty drunk way before Paris Hilton made it fashionable. I enjoyed it because it brought back memories from the book I had forgotten, but I would like to see a quality R rated remake of this film someday. It is a great story and I wish the film makers had done it justice, but it was the 1950's and I am sure it was pretty racy for that time but now it is tame to some degree. If you are a fan of Hemingway or of old films you may like this film, but it is no classic and not a bad movie just not a a truly good one either.
