Re: Inspired by #2

I think the biggest issue that people REALLY have to stop getting their panties in a twist about is how information is conveyed.

In a book, events do not move in real time. This changes EVERYTHING. In a movie, several things cannot be explained in the course of an action that takes 10 seconds. In a movie, background context that the character already knows about a person, an event, or an issue cannot be told when actions based on it/them happen for the first time onscreen. The inner thoughts of a POV character, and attitudes and patterns about people and events that are generalized with respect to time rather than conveyed through a single event cannot be conveyed the same way onscreen without an inner monologue narrator, and even then a movie narrator has to be completely different from a book narrator.

So the type of change that people should really embrace in movie adaptations, is when a movie adds an all-new scene that wasn't in the source material, in order to convey information that was conveyed through the general narrative and not localized to characters' specific actions/dialogue in any specific scene in the book.

That inner monologue in Dune is so dang weird!

So very, very weird. "Yes, please stand there and stare off into nothing so we can add in your recorded speech later."

Though the weirdest example I can think of was some soap opera where a man started to monologue his evil plans out loud while completely alone. I was so confused and kept wondering if someone was going to walk in on him and discover his plot, but nope! It was all so the audience would get exposition.
