   If you imply that Yates et al were not concerned with the alchemical   
   translations of the book to the movie. I simply don't know. I do not   
   see any overt signs that the movie desires to stick closely to the   
   literary alchemy, the movie is an adaptation after all.   
      
   Yet, in the end all, DH2 does in many ways keep still to the   
   alchemical (and Christian) underpinnings which isn't hard to explain.   
   The book was the original draft of the screen write. ;)
