The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”

On a related note, passed an article that they’re ‘finally making a movie of the unfilmable book Blood Meridian!’ and like, you can definitely film the events that occured in that book but you’re going to lose everything that made it worth reading. Beautiful prose is the first thing to go. paperandwires said:
The Robert Frost quote “Poetry is what gets lost in translation” applies to translations between media, too. Just read Annihilation after watching the underwhelming movie and this post completely applies.
