Re: Have you ever liked a movie/tv show better then the book it's based on?

[(Anonymous)]

Sticking too close to the source material is often a big mistake, unless it's an author who writes with the movie deal in mind like King or Chrichton at the peak of their popularity.

I often want to tell book purists exactly this. Many novels are not written with a movie or television show in mind and when you adapt to another media there most often will have to be changes because there are things that can be done in books that just can't be done in other media (or would take an insane budget to be done.)

The changes are sometimes better, sometimes worse, but mostly they're just different and there's not always a reason to like one over the other.

I enjoy the differences sometimes too, it gives me something new to look forward to rather then just seeing something I had already read.

Yes, novels and cinema are two very different forms of storytelling. If I remember right, the novel discussed was Slaughterhouse-Five, which lampshades its non-linear narrative and autobiographical insert right in the first chapter. There are dramatic ways of doing this, but they look and sound a bit different from what Vonnegut does.

I particularly want to hit Tolkien purists over the head with this. The books would have made for monumentally boring movies if made exactly like the books.
