Question by Al Becha,Herbie Hynd,S.Rokkin: Does anyone HATE it when they make your favorite book into a movie?
I sure do. I’m a big reader (chucked TV 10yrs ago) and really can be moved by a great book. So, my main complaint is two-fold ; first, that the plot, characters,whole book has to be simplified for film. Important details the author gave you are gone.Second, you end up talking to someone about the book and they act like they are very familiar with it , but then they describe things that didnt happen and it’s because they only saw the movie. I will never see a movie version of a book I’ve read. Which leads me to my very favorite book-Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. I first read it when I was 11, and have re read many times. Now I hear it’s coming out on film.Sacrelige! Of all the books! So I’m bitter and venting a little. Oh-it has Angelina Jolie! I love her (looks mostly) but Dagney Taggart she is not! I dread finding out the rest of the cast. Anyone else feel this way about book to film? Or read Atlas Shrugged ?
