Not having seen the movie, I can't comment on the execution of the idea, or whether that was even in the minds of the filmmakers; I was just going by what MacEwan said of his intentions, which I thought he met admirably and compellingly in the book.
Oddly (okay, not oddly), I have very little interest in seeing the film -- I have too much fondness for the book to sacrifice it upon the screen.
