I wish people would stop comparing books to movies, or replicating one medium in another medium. They're both completely different mediums with wildly different narrative structures.
- as a movie on it's own, the movie sucks even more. for all the reasons stated earlier. they could have brought a lot more to it to make it stand out as a film.jazmine
- Fine, your taste is your taste. But let's knock off the "wasn't like the book" nonsense.harlequino
- my taste is my taste, and i like movies that try to be like the book do it well. if they had gone off and made something different and done it well, then that would be another story.jazmine
- then that would be another story.jazmine
- Translating "literary beauty" into visual storytelling generally doesn't work. Words are for books. Pictures are for films.harlequino
- of course. which is why this is a bad book to try to follow literally. why people are complaining there wasn't a story line.jazmine
