Henry & June


From watching the movie Henry and June and reading the book written by henry miller I feel that the henry miller I had envisoned in the book was similar to the henry in the movie. The henry miller In the book and the henry miller in the movie both had similar perspectives on how they viewed the world. However, I never envisoned henry miller as a very angry and violent person as he was in the movie.
In the movie henry and June my perspective changed of Anais throughout the movie. In the beginning of the movie I viewed her as a very innocent person. However, that quickly changed after she met henry miller. After Anais met henry miller she became very sexually involved. She didn't only become sexually involved with one person, but she had multiple partners. Almost in a way she used sex to manipulate people to get what she wanted and desired most.

  1. Yeah the book doesn't portray Henry as such a violent person at all so I wonder why the director of the movie decided to portray him as this type of character. And I agree about Anais I think as a person she did drastically changed from someone that was likeable and reserved to being almost manipulative and a character that is less liked.
