Jacob Have I Loved (1989)
Excellent mini version of the book!
I really enjoyed the movie! I read "Jacob Have I Loved" in high school and still find myself relating to Louise. This movie did a job well done portraying Caroline as a selfish, beautiful lady, while Louise is the better of the two when it comes to what is important in a person, they're character and heart. Some people who have read the book might not like what they've done with the movie, but you have to remember that this is only an TV movie, 53 minutes long. The producers have taken the important elements of the book (the birth of the twins, Louise's friendship with Call, Caroloine leaving the island, Louise's relationship with the Captain)and turned into an enjoyable movie I would show in my classroom if we were reading the book! The only problem I had was at the end of the movie they did not say of whatever happened to Louise, but I guess to find out you need to read the book!
