Re: Good Adaptions

[herpymcderp]

My favorite adaptation of something is probably the least faithful one ever. STALKER, the film by Andrei Tarkovsky, is based on the novel Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky.

The film only resembles the actual events from the novel in passing, but remains the most thematically consistent adaptation of anything I have ever seen. It's plain to see that the mood and sentiment of the novel stuck home, but it is as if the director went on to tell a different story in the same world.

It's artsy as all get out, which isn't something I usually enjoy overmuch, but this is still one of my top 10 films of all time.

So, I don't know anything about STALKER or its book. But, from your comment, the movie is loosely based on the book. Would you then be sympathetic/understand if a fan of the book was disappointed in the adaption? If they wanted to see their book made into a movie and were given something else?

Like, I guess the heart of what I'm getting at is when a very loose adaption is made, doesn't it seem reasonable for book fans to be disappointed? (Might not be the case in your particular example.)

I understand when people are disappointed in an adaptation that shits all over the source material. Whether it's faithful to events and characters or not, I feel like often the most important thing for an adaptation to get right is the feeling that the original work gives you.

For that reason I think GoT is a good adaptation, even though it skips over a lot of material and adds its own stuff. I think STALKER is even better because it captures the emotional content of the novel so flawlessly.
