I haven't read lots of books. Most of them I didn't like. But I've liked enough of them, which would give me the right to write! Sometimes, books are made into movies. And sometimes, it seems like the movies ruin the books. Movies and books are totally different. If a movie is based on a book, don't think that the movie has the same story line. Nor it has the same characters! Because like I said, a movie definitely ruins a book.
One of my favorite books is "Ella Enchanted" . Written by Gail Carson Levine. The book was published in 1997 and a movie was produced in 2004. Although I love the movie, it is probably the most obvious example I've seen. It is an example of a book being turned into a movie, and the movie being extremely different. In the movie, there are new characters that weren't in the book. Moreover, some characters were portrayed completely different than in the book. In addition to the important details which have been left out and the new plot which has been added.Talk about the movie being different than it's book!
Never produce a film based on a book! If you're going to change events, then why bother not giving the movie it's own title?!! There are many other movies that can make books look bad. Some people are just fed up from being totally into a book and it's story then suddenly finding it has been ruined by some movie! Well Of course there are some books which are represented well by it's movies, but there are some which aren't! That leaves us to just wonder. Will producers follow the book's story or make extreme changes?!
