For those of you students out there looking to get away with not having to read Huxley's novel, this film version will definitely do you more harm than good. The most interesting aspect of the novel for me is analyzing Bernard's motives and beliefs and how he sells out after returning from the reservation with John, but that is not part of this movie at all. In this film, Bernard is more like Helmholtz, a radical individual trying to break the chains of "civilization" which he definitely is not in the novel. Anyways, long story short...read the book, or at the very least the Cliff Notes. This movie is a good supplement, but it doesn't hold a candle to the novel itself.
