| With a slew of movies coming out that
| |
| | and loyalty to the story. It seems that
|
| have been modeled after popular books, it
| |
| | if the director and actors really know
|
| seems to be a prevalent theme that the
| |
| | the story, this is when the best results
|
| book is almost always better than the
| |
| | occur.The trouble is when a movie is just
|
| movie. Perfect case in point is the
| |
| | thrown together, without the time being
|
| latest release "The DaVinci Code", an
| |
| | taken to maintain the integrity of the
|
| adaptation of the wildly popular and
| |
| | written story, and the money to make the
|
| controversial work of fiction by author
| |
| | sets as realistic as possible, or
|
| Dan Brown. I loved the book, couldn't
| |
| | sometimes it's just plain old
|
| put it down. But the movie was
| |
| | misdirection.Take for example the
|
| average.If I would have only seen the
| |
| | adaptation of the science fiction novel
|
| movie and not read the book, I would have
| |
| | Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. The
|
| walked out of the theater with the
| |
| | movie, featuring John Travolta dressed in
|
| conclusion that I would not have wanted
| |
| | alien garb, ended up being a gross
|
| to read such a mediocre book. Of course
| |
| | misinterpretation of the story, as well
|
| for every status quo, there are always
| |
| | as the brunt of several jokes around
|
| exceptions to the rule. The movies
| |
| | Oscar time, due to its poor reception
|
| "Angela's Ashes" based on Irish novelist
| |
| | from audiences and critics.Or how about
|
| Frank McCourt's story of a poor Irish
| |
| | the unforgettable Ishtar starring Dustin
|
| family ended up being an excellent film,
| |
| | Hoffman and Warren Beatty? This atrocity
|
| well acted with a perfect cast and
| |
| | was the brunt of jokes for years after
|
| authentic feel.Another example of a good
| |
| | its dismal release as the most boring
|
| movie based on a book is the
| |
| | movie ever made. And what about this
|
| autobiography about an embittered Vietnam
| |
| | list of bombs that originated as well
|
| veteran, Ron Kovic, played in the big
| |
| | spun novels and novellas, only to be
|
| screen adaptation by Tom Cruise (before
| |
| | poorly translated to the big screen?-
|
| he was annoying). The film ended up
| |
| | Dangerous Minds
|
| being a heart breaking protrayal of a man
| |
| | - Dune
|
| who served his country in good faith, and
| |
| | - The First Wive's Club
|
| then lost his legs and seemed to be cast
| |
| | - Freaky Friday
|
| off and forgotten by the very government
| |
| | - Girl Interrupted (this may just be my
|
| he fought to protect.Let's not also
| |
| | opinion though)
|
| forget an excellent silver screen
| |
| | - The Ghost and the Darkness
|
| adaptation of the novel Dr. Zhivago,
| |
| | - Little WomenAnd the list goes on.
|
| played by Omar Sharif, and the story of
| |
| | Just goes to show, the majority of the
|
| his unrequited love for Lara Antipova,
| |
| | time, one's imagination can produce far
|
| played by the beautiful Julie Christie.
| |
| | more vivid and emotionally moving images
|
| This masterpiece of a film was directed
| |
| | than that of a Hollywood director, or any
|
| by David Lean with a true authenticity
| |
| | amount of special effects.
