Especially when they start adding in inappropriate stuff..... it is just like "You killed those characters for me, I loved them how they are in the book!"<br /><br />That really annoyed and confused feeling you get when watching a movie trailer and you are like..... wait is this the right one? .... and the even worse feeling when you realize it is...... at least it has the same name as those books you love...Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616906188229851218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217377843580701766.post-77987966880381196652015-09-04T09:12:03.758-04:002015-09-04T09:12:03.758-04:00I do see what you mean, I just don't like it w...I do see what you mean, I just don't like it when there are changes made, especially in The Maze Runner.Alea Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05407817853111498327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217377843580701766.post-15317025735219687682015-09-04T08:37:23.518-04:002015-09-04T08:37:23.518-04:00Ehhhhhhhh... I can see where you're coming fro...Ehhhhhhhh... I can see where you're coming from but I don't think that I could agree with you on all these points. I mean, for one thing, by nature movies are a different medium than books which means that there must be changes and even if they aren't completely true to the book, it isn't a bad thing. It just means that movies are different than books. And in fact, if movies were completely true to their books, they would totally suck. So yes, while they should study the book, I don't feel like demanding exactness in terms of plot and characters and descriptions would be helpful, you know? I will also just say that just because you wouldn't discuss them in front of a six-year-old doesn't mean that sexual, racial, social, and political things should be explored in movies—but it depends on the book we're discussing. But that is just what I think. I WILL say that I do think it's adorable when the author gets to be in the movie, which is why movies like Holes and The Twilight Saga ended up being so good.<br /><br />Anyway, it was interesting to see your thoughts, even if we didn't agree on all the points.
