Who was in the right?
>>150225498Bakshi for shitting up Crumb's hippie power fantasy beliefs.
>>150225498Neither. They were in the left, fucking hippie bitches.But really I'm in the right because I don't give a fuck and both interpretations had a message and conveyed them well enough but both are flawed POV's that are not mantras to live your life by.
>>150225565But Crumb's whole problem was that Bakshi made fritz into a hippie power fantasy when originally it was much more pointed and critical. It wasn't meant to be the zeitgeist of hippie culture, it was supposed to be an unhinged takedown of it.
>>150225601Fag
>>150225601Wow gay guy much?
The movie is morbid, but not in an appealing way like the comic is.
>>150225613the exact opposite, actually. lurk moar.
>>150225498Do we actually know why specifically Crumb hated Bakshi's version? I never seen quotes. People just assume it's because Bakshi made things darker or something. Bakshi himself probably doesn't hate Crumb's version, just changed it in a way that could be adapted into a film and would simply be more fitting with his style. It's the same thing where people assume Kubrick hated King's version and wanted to shit on it when in fact he actually really liked the book and changed things because he was someone with a specific artistic vision that he didn't believe should be compromised.
>>150225498Crumb was in the wrong for getting so angry about an adaptation not being EXACTLY like the source material. Adaptations are free to change things as the director sees fit, 'specially if it's in a different medium. If someone wanted to experience Crumb's Fritz the Cat, they'd simply read Crumb's Fritz the Cat. Bakshi made his own interpretation of Crumb's work, and he did it well.
