#Movie vs book

[mr-nauseam]

I confess. There is a scene that I hate in the movie and I consider it the worst adapted. I'm talking about Sejanus' sandwiches

Did you see this miserable sandwich? Marcus was so real for make that disgusting face. Like dear, I wouldn't talk to you either if you offered me that shit

Honestly who approved that?

Because his sandwiches in the book were the best sandwiches in the world and included a plum. Besides, Sejanus didn't just bring Marcus food, my man brought all the tributes food and even fed his cabbage friend Coriolanus

I‘m not really in IT fandom, but I watched both movie adaptions and read the book. And what I find really funny is how in the book, the older Bill is canonically bald. It‘s quite important too, Pennywise even teases him about it!

But in the two movie adaptions, we get two older Bills with glorious hair. Important, no. Hilarious in its own way? Hell yeah.

You: a Netflix Show & Book Comparison

The failure of a faithful film/book adaptation often runs in the anatomy of its chosen media, and while the Netflix series You, starring Penn Badgley, strays quite far from its original source, it’s an excellent example of a faithful adaptation. 

At its core, both Netflix’s show and Caroline Kepnes’ 2014 book You run in the same vein of stories: Joe Goldberg and his very-normal response to an obsessive crush. However, the similarity pretty much ends there, and each story takes an equally enthralling - albeit different - road. 

(This post is solely focused on the first book - and first season - of You!) 

Here are the main differences:

1. Book-You is much darker and sinister.

While the show is also narrated by Joe Goldberg, book-Joe dives deeper into his darker and creepier nature. Each page is crawled with his growing paranoia and attempts to justify himself, often missing large marks of redeeming qualities that show-Joe easily exudes along his charm. 

2. Joe Goldberg is a different character.

While both the story is a deep character study dive of a killer, the characters are simply written differently. While show-Joe is witty, charming, funny, and nice to kids, book-Joe is blunt, creepy, and unlikeable, not to mention lacking Penn Badgley’s charm and screen presence. Simply said, show-Joe is who book-Joe thinks he is; show-Joe is written to be altered into an anti-hero rather than a pure villain. 

3. The language, justification, and motivation.

While both characters commit the same nature of crimes, it is the attitude and justification that primarily separates the two Joe Goldbergs: while show-Joe is calculative and runs in the justification “for the better good” and is nice to kids, book-Joe expresses misogynistic language and impulsive behaviors. 

In addition to the main differences, here are the minor differences:

1. Paco does not exist. (Hence elaborating on the Point 1 that show-Joe is a difficult character to villainize because he’s so nice to kids!). 

2. Beck isn’t a broke student and there’s no creepy professor. 

3. Peach Salinger isn’t as suspicious of Joe. 

4. Peach dies differently (she’s thrown into the ocean) and Beck doesn’t dwell on her death as much as she does in the show. 

5. Joe never meets any of Beck’s friends; the hate runs similarly deep, but he only knows them through her hacked email conversation threads. 

6. Candace is dead; there’s a different girl named Amy Adam who later steals Joe’s rare book and is the reason why he goes to LA to kill her (surprise!). 

Both the book and show are exciting on their own; to sum it up the best, while the show is more plot-driven thus having a stronger reliance on audience tension, the book is a deeper and more serious dive into the complexity of Joe’s character as a villain. 

I would definitely recommend both the show and book; each is interesting for different purposes, and in the meantime, I definitely cannot wait for the release of Season 4.

I just read the "When Marnie Was There" Book and holy shit let me tell you, the book is better. I did like the movie but like almost everyone else i hated that ending. It did not make sense there was not even the slightest foreshadowing but the book does it better, To me the ending in the movie felt so out of nowhere it felt like a whole jumpscare but in the book you can very much tell it was foreshadowed a couple of times especially in the "Mushrooms and Secrets" chapter. It made sense and the way they handled the reveal was also better, the charachter depths too. I am obsessed with the book. Even though this post won't get alot of views i might make a post about the Movie vs The Book.

GUYS!!

I have read “Pride and Prejudice” twice this far, but never watched the movie until just now.

It was MAGNIFICENT!!

The whole thing was just amazing.

Maybe I was already biased because it is such a lovely novel, but the ending has my heart fluttering.

I love it so much.

How I wish to be in love like that!

“Pride and Prejudice” is the sole reason I’ve never been able to fall for anyone, my standards are just too high.

i watched the jane eyre movie after reading the book yesterday and it made me realize how different the book and the movie convey the emotion. If I hadn't read the book before watching the movie, I probably wouldn't have understood much. because in the movie they were barely talking so it’s hard for the viewer to understand what is going on. i loved the cinematography tho.

"Fight club" is a great movie but I think the book is better. The cast is wonderful so the way of filming but I had a feeling like they didn't fully capture the whole feel of the story. For me an atmosphere in the book is darker, more brutal and even more insane. When the movie occassionally gave me edgy impression the same scenes in the book didn't. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of both the movie and the novel but "Fight club" isn't my favourite film even thought it might be one of my favourite piece of literature

Something that makes me cry is no one I have ever met has actually READ how to train your dragon. They don’t know. They don’t know how different it is. How rich the plot and how shallow it makes the movies seem. I just want people to draw hiccup and toothless the way they were written. Because to me they’re always the nerdy and easily scared boy and the green little dragon. ❤️

Idk about you guys but Goncharov (1973) always gives me Crime and Punishment vibes. Maybe it’s because they’re Russian, maybe it’s the death, maybe it’s the themes of loss. What do y’all think?

I have a friend who hates Peeta so much, because they only watched the movies. They said that Peeta is a weakling and a stalker etc.

What key point or best qualities of Peeta's I should tell them so they change their mind? Thank you 😊

(Please don't answer with, "they should read the novel, it's so good!", I've tried many times, fail every times 😑) @curiouspeetamellark

Ahh, well my main point on Peeta being a great character is that he was a constant source of optimism and support for Katniss. He was also a moral compass for her during difficult times. He gave her a reason to get up and keep fighting in the first Games after Rue died. He was willing to sacrifice his life for her so she could go home to her family, when he told her to shoot him after Cato died at the finale. He moved past his hurt feelings and tried to become friends with Katniss during the victory tour. He gave his winnings to Thresh and Rue's family, in honor of their deaths and sacrifice. He stood up for Gale at the whipping post. He ultimately accepted Katniss' choice to be with Gale in the 2nd movie (he put Gale's picture in the locket), and again tried to sacrifice himself so Katniss could live. He saved a lot of people's lives in District 13 when he warned them about the bombing even though it meant that Snow would have him punished and tortured. He eventually showed Katniss that goodness can overpower evil when he fought his way back from the hijacking. He showed her that things can be good again, and he stayed with her and built a life together after the war. He helped her come back from a deep depression after she goes home to 12. And ultimately, the greatest point is that Katniss loved him and trusted him enough to have children with him. Something she was hesitant to do when she was younger because she feared loving and losing those she loved. But Peeta made her feel safe, and secure. He helped her move on and embrace the future. He helped her see that life was worth living and things could be good again.

Those would be my suggested talking points. But in the end some people are set in their opinions. They might not change their minds. And that's ok. As long as you enjoy the books and the characters and know about what Peeta truly represents (hope, rebirth, and growth) then that's alright.

golden trio: movie vs book. the hp movie franchise might be one of the most faithful book to movie adaptations but it still bothers me that they turned the characters into a shallower versions of their book counterparts and completely robbed them of their relatability or likability but eh
