Re: Good Adaptions

My favorite adaptation is probably the Coen Brothers version of True Grit, which is exceptionally faithful to the book both in spirit and in details. But I also like adaptations that are a lot looser, like things that completely transpose genres for a work - like Repo Man and Big Lebowski as weird-ass adaptations of classic noir. Or John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars as a remake of Rio Bravo. God I love e John Carpenter.

I guess what's important to me is that you understand the spirit of the thing you're adapting and you do something interesting with it. Doesn't matter much whether or not you're faithful, to me. Of course it's ultimately probably better to be a good movie than a good adaptation.
