Books and movies are completely different mediums.

I recently went on tour with my school orchestra and band. We went to Disneyland, and we got to do a really cool workshop where we got to experience underscoring clips of animation. It was so cool, and you really get a feel of how music affects movies. Also, I loved what you said at the end about how movies should stay true to the essence of the book. That's really what matters to me.

Wonderful summary of this fascinating and complex topic. Another good example is the latest adaptation of the Count of Monte Cristo. I think there's a special feature where the writer talks about this process. As always, thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks for posting this! As much as I love reading books, it honestly annoys me when some people constantly complain how that and this never happened in the book blah blah blah whenever they watch movie adaptations. While I'm not gonna lie that there still some movie adaptations that disappointed me, I will probably still like it after awhile. Like when I watched Warm Bodies movie after reading the book, my head can't help but notice how this never happened to the book. And similar to that Hunger Games example, in the book M(arcus) said to R that the Boneys are after them. While in the movie they showed how that went when R and Julie are doing something, they showed that Boneys are shouting something at M(arcus) and thus leading to them to find R. While my head kind of hurt complaining how this thing didn't technically happened in the book, I still enjoyed it because it has some parts that are better than the book, like for example humans and zombies are working together to fight Boneys thus leading to them to form a normal bonding. While in the book, Nora just said some things and boom everyone is together and I think that's one of the weak part of the book. And not to mention, Nicholas Hoult is hot.

The books are always better than the transmuted movies (with the exception of musicals and possibly child material). Also it is easier to make movies appealing to children than books... Watching/Hearing is easier for kids than reading, movies have the bright colours that are more appealing to kids etc. I might argue that most men don't read either. (Next bit unrelated to kids) Another problem with movies is installing believability when it comes to violence or technology onscreen. If Nina reads that Mark was shot in the head, she will follow that script however moviemakers can't genuinely shoot Mark in front of the camera and if the alternate methods don't look realistic enough then Nina (and other audience members) will abandon the film. It is a reason why so many "older" films won't be watched by younger people. We can look at the Hornblower movie series... Well-written, well-acted but the audience can tell that they are watching a fiction movie series (rather than a documentary series). (All the gunpowder "weapons" that are fired are obviously fake.) (Although the Hornblower movie series is certainly well-worth watching, starring Ioan Gruffudd. I would recommend it.) If we want a better known example of poor technology repelling people, we can look at the last Pierce Brosnan "James Bond" film. "Die Another Day." Particularly the scene where Bond is supposed to surfing with a parachute, the fakest looking thing I've ever seen. As well there is an ultimate question when making a book or movie (especially for kids), "do I want to create the best product I can or do I want to make a product that is as appealing to the target audience as possible?" With books it tends to be the former while with movies it tends to be the latter. An example would be the terribly written film "Frozen" that was extremely popular due to the skill of the "Let It Go" singer. But I wouldn't mind hearing opinions on the ultimate question or how people see it, although an answer isn't necessary.
