Re: Faithfulness vs Creativity in Adaptations?

[intrigueing]

Creativity, totally. I get so bored watching adaptations that are just actors acting out and reciting dialogue from the originals. Particularly when there's a medium change. But I do prefer it when they go the route of either adding/expanding material to make something longer, or distilling a lot of material to make something shorter, rather than altering things just for the sake of altering them.

Of course, this depends on what the source material is like, if it's a novel or a series, how many times it's been adapted before, etc. Because if it's been adapted a bunch of times in one way, I don't mind them aggressively altering things just for the sake of altering them in order to adapt it in a way that's different from all the previous adaptations to counterbalance the stereotyping effect of those previous adaptations. See Daniel Craig!James Bond and RDJ!Sherlock Holmes.

Heck, I don't even care that much if it's good or not. Like, even though it sort of sucked and was annoying, I still enjoyed Baz Luhrman's Great Gatsby a hell of a lot more than the other dull-as-fuck stagnant ones, like the Robert Redford adaptation from the '70s.
