Really, Those Who Continually Gripe About How “The Book Was So Much Better Than The Movie”?
Did it ever occur to you that chances are great the movie and the book are disparate enough entities that one isn’t necessarily even supposed to have that much to do with the other? A lousy adaptation does not, by any means, a lousy cinematic experience make. The sooner we can all realize that any given movie that is ostensibly a book adaptation, does not have to be, usually cannot be, and almost never will be, a very faithful adaptation (at least in terms of content), the sooner we can move on from the tired and faux-poignant non-axiom of “the book was better than the movie,” the better.
Do people that are intelligent, or even literate, enough to bother reading, actually fail to comprehend the lack of necessary connection between the literary form and its cinematic adaptations, existent or imagined? Really?
