ginainthekingsroad: Oscar & Lucinda at the porthole- "I have gambled for pleasure..." (Oscar & Lucinda- porthole)

Re: Book to screen

I love the adaptation of Peter Carey's Oscar & Lucinda. I saw the film first; but it made me seek out the book, which I also really liked. It's a close adaptation-- some condensing, streamlining, etc.-- for the purposes of a more focused movie, and that's all to the movie's benefit. But when I reread the novel, I also like the digressions that were cut, and the slightly more cynical tone. The endings are slightly different as well-- and while I can see the book's is more "realistic" as it is told a family history, the emotional payoff of the movie ending is a little more satisfying (and it makes equal sense as the book's when you consider it's not an average family history).
