tolstoy's piece like another movie but i think. it to really do the book would be thirty five to forty hours of footage but if they do it is a television series. i think for that length why not two thirty five parts an hour each you get access to the point line with thirty five hours of tell stage going to be expensive and like i said. i would. yeah. one day maybe that i would like you like to do that it's after all it's the big one . like a couple of years of your life and when it's always there i don't know i'm not done and here i mean five years maybe yeah funny thirty five hours at least you know for years i would think i reach a certain first. that i was doing that it would be worth it is there any other person who has any other author a person in the world i mean russia that is equally interesting equaling spines years tolstoy well yes i mean there are other i think one of the things that i got really involved in especially in the late tolstoy novellas you know death of an energy crisis an art of boxing doing one thing i did

against tolstoy's book in any radical way. did that in a sense by not trying to be a novelist on the film, but by being a film maker, which is what i find exciting about the results. there were certain things, and we don't have time to go into them, there were certain things which i was worried about anna's lover actually uses his service revolver to attempt to shoot himself through the heart in the novel and i was terribly worried about this, and if you actually look back at the movie so is everybody else wh who has made a karenina, the movie. and, you know, i came up with an idea which would somehow provide the catharsis and the intensity of the moment without what i felt was a slight absurdity, and i found -- then i discovered another movie that had the same thought and then had another thought and actually shot something which was one of the first things -- it was early in the schedule, it is like that is okay but in the end we didn't do it, and i am not displeased by that. it is -- it has always bothered they but mostly,

the last one was very, very close to tolstoy, from the novel. keira and jude in the coach, really close to the dialogue in the novel. and keira, at the railway station meeting in the fog, less close. i actually did write it very close to the novel, i didn't quite somehow serve the entity. i don't know what it was. it was just the equation of the emotional, i had a second go at it and it was that one. but it was very interesting to see, and i really wanted to kind of put the credit where it is due. i think those two scenes in the coach particularly, the they wet terrifically well, and just, you know, to address a balance, that i might have gotten wrong in our conversation, it is down to tolstoy that that dialogue works. it really does work well and anna's tolstoy dialogue. >> yes, absolutely. i think it is one of the points in the adaptation to kind of get out of the way of the novel lis as well, you know, when, you know, that takes a level of humility when you look at the pages of the book there are not many that have dialogue on them. there are

>> i do not think that tolstoy was holding her up saying you should do this. he is holding her for a certain amount of moral combination. she is very manipulative. she is deceitful. she is greedy. she is also wonderful and loving and full of laughter and full of life and amazing. you cannot ignore the sides to her personality which is why she's been so fascinating for hundreds of years. tavis: is that the reason why you wanted to play the character? you'll get your scripts and you say that is something that is fascinating to play. what made you want to play this character? >> i said yesterday before. because of my memory of the book. even the art -- even though i remembered her as being more simple. i still went that is a great book. how did you turn down playing anna? tavis: accept -- you accepted the part based on your initial reading. your read the text and saw this, she was a complex character. were you more excited to play it or did you say, what have i done? >> a bit of both. it was this is going to be much more difficult than i thought it was going to b

i mean not necessarily in life in general but in work. >> what was the relationship of tolstoy and anna? >> well-- well, apparently at the beginning he actually intended to write a novel about carenin, meant to be the central character and meant to be about a good man whose wife commits a crime against him. so it feels like and it's my understanding that the idea of anna, she was always meant to be condemned. that was her purpose. and then during the writing of it he fell in love with her. >> rose: he fell in love with a character he created. >> yeah. but i think because she's so-- you do condemn her. i think you should condemn her. but there's a certain point in reading the novel and hopefully in he sooing the film but you go yeah, but am i any better than she is. >> rose: don't you believe that she had no choice? you know, don't you believe you hav a responsibility to your family, but also a responsibility to yourself in the end you don't want to go through life unhappy. >> that's true. >> rose: and if you don't take care of your happiness, no one else will. >> that is true. >> rose:

this is the 12th adaptation of the book by tolstoy, the 12th. this is 19th century russia. russia.t's love story. it's great story but what the director has done is he is telling it like a stage play. the majority of the film is shot on an actual stage so. when you are watching it and we have this cool clip here, i'll show you shortly. it is shot just like -- you have the video. look at the camera there. watch the set pieces being moved into frame. that is actually how the movie looks in front of the camera. there are people just moving set pieces and then here comes jude law. he will sit down at that table. >> do you like that? >> it is distracting. >> to quote a song, it's beautiful disaster it is a film that looks gorgeous but it takes away from the story. you focus too much on the process as opposed to engaging in the performance. i think it's film you can watch visually but i had a hard time connecting to the characters. i think it's good matinee with a lot of oscar buzz for it right now. >> that is what i was wondering. >> jude law is fantastic if the film. i feel like the mo

i think of leo tolstoy to writes about great people who are caught up in the tentacles of love. it's a story about a great person who achieved genuinely great things in his life turning out to be very human under that exterior that was so prominent. every one of us has an image of david petraeus with all those medals on his chest and it turns out he was a human being. as weak as many of us maybe weaker than some. >> charlie one thing we've got to talk about here too is the number of deployments petraeus had. he spent the majority of the last ten years, more than five of those years in war zones. that takes a toll on a person. a couple years ago i remember interviewing him in iraq and i asked him about his rock-star status then and he said it is like having an extra load in my rucksack. he said sometimes he looked at himself and felt he was looking at someone he didn't know. i think that really does take a toll. david and i were talking a little buy before the program. a couple years ago when i visited dave petraeus i thought he had really changed. he was very difficult to deal w
