It does look wonderful and is on my films to see list, the scenes in the trailer in the sunflower fields look like they are going to be beautiful to see on the big screen.
You fools should read the book first! It's a superbly written debut novel by Jonathan Safran Foer. Then, you can go and purchase 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close', which his second novel and it's even better.

Re: Everything Is Illuminated
I keep hearing more and more about this film. It has drawn my attention. I love the plot outline. From the looks of it is going to be my kind of film. But I have to see it first. And I will.
That's great that you all want to see the movie, but you should at least try and read the book. Some of its beauty cannot be translated on to the big screen; you just have to read it. The same goes for 'Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close', which just so happens to be one of my favorite recent books.

I would enjoy dispensing currency to view that portrait in motion but it might be rigid to seek out a cinema presenting it.

What the!?! Someone who has purchased some time to actually read the book! Now, how about a bird suit...
