I'll start
Somewhat related, but this is the closest I have ever seen a movie capture the experience of a novel. Very similar composition and depth
>>24933417Your turn (King Lear)
i shoulda watched it when i had criterion channel oh well
>>24933417Rohmer's La Collectionneuse. A screenplay with literary qualities, mostly in dialogue and off-narration. Plays around with a few modernist tropes (such as aestheticism).
>>24933417I doubt this film is as good as it's claimed because the only people I know who rate this film are pretentious letterboxd fags who think enjoying arthouse slop somehow makes them a more intelliegent person.
>>24933417This one hold on its own against the book.
>>24933417Can anyone make a chart? I'm too lazy and untalented: Most of disney films (Specifically those from the Grimm Brothers, Alice in Wonderland, Hercules, The Lion King [Hamlet adaptation], Aladdin, and Notre Dame)Oedipus Rex (1957)The Wizard of Oz LOTR Prince of Egypt Jason and the Argonauts The green knight Battle Royale The time machine (1960)Kurosawa's Shakespeare and Dostoyevsky adaptations1984Lord of the flies O Brother Where Art Thou?Troy Mishima>>24933473>gets filtered even with films Damn... It must feel bad...
>>24933417apple tv has a 4 pack of john wick movies for $9.99 as like a holiday sale should i?
I was mindblown reading Inherent Vice having watched the movie first. It really is the perfect rendition. Totally captures the paranoid stoner vibe, to the point where viewing it high really enhanced the experience a lot. Parts that were cut were appropriate too.
>>24933484I forgot Clockwork orange
>to the point where viewing it high really enhanced the experience a lotThis is how low quality this thread is for anyone lurking.
>>24933654An actual lurker would have stayed silent, you fag impostor.
>>249336544chan and internet in general will never recover from the zoomer influx.
>>24933654sperg
>>24933654dont worry, i noticed
>>24933693Never said I was a lurker, brainlet. >>24933702Zoomers + India going online. >>24933705You don't know what that word means.
>>24933702Yeah. It's ours now. Go get married faggot.
Salome's Last Dance, based on Oscar Wilde play.
>>24933473
bump
>>24933417>The Death of Ivan Ilyich
>>24933417Technically most /tv/ is /lit/ since so many screenplays are just adaptations of books or plays.the more interesting thread topic would be which film adaptations are better/worse than the book
>>24933454oriental grift
>>24933484>gets filtered even with filmsHave you even read Mishima?
For example, everyone and their mother agrees Kubrick's Lolita is worse than Nabokov's original
greatest achievement of the /film/ed medium
Tree of Life (2011) by Terrance Malik. It's what I'd imagine Stoner would look like on film.
>>24934424It was good but the restoration has such an awful glare to it that makes some scenes super distracting. The last episode was retarded and they had to make it surreal and meta to convince people otherwise.
>>24934429fuck the restoration; bootleg VHS is peak sovl. sorry you got filtered by the epilogue btw, genuinely. try again in a couple of years i guess

>>24933454>YiYi-ass haircut
>>24933462Pirate it you retarded monkey
Can't decide if I like the book or the movie more. Stunning visuals, perfect score.
>>24933417
>>24934436>bootleg VHS is peak sovlYou talk like an asshole.
>>24934650>based on The Tartar SteppeI didn't know this adaption existed. Neat.
>>24934421Never. But the movie was incredible. What am I missing?
Be sure to watch Patriotism (directed by Mishima himself)
spam thread
This thread proves it.
>>24935502Based Faulkner does it again
>>24934424Technically this is the only on topic post because everything else even the OP is a movie and not a tv show. Well played
this was a good adaptation. good casting and it conveies both the tension and the humor of the book.
>>24935499>>24935502>>24935513>literally the best thread we had in years in /lit/ since literature is for nerds and /tv/ brain rotfags absolutely mogg them
>>24935730Still not fitting it, try again
>>24933473yeah i thought it was crap. didn't get across who mishima was at all. this japanese adaptation of the temple of the golden pavillion, "enjo", is very good.
>>24933454end of thread
>>24936023not even Yang's best
>>24934436>surrealist montage that represents the state the comatosed Franz finds himself that uses foreshadowing of the future of Berlin and especially Nazism (represented through Franz's relationship with Reinhold (also implied to be sexual)) to warn Franz (as well as the rest of Germany) not to be taken away with the promises of Nazism because it will result in the division of Berlin as well as EuropeYeah, it isn't as hard to understand as retards like you like to beleive. It's just Freudian slop you faggots eat up because you're insufferable pseuds. The book mogs the show and the director of the show (it's not a film, despite what you letterboxd fags try to claim) inserted his own homosexual leanings to appeal to faggots like (you).
>>24933473>I wont watch good movies out of spiteWow, cool story faggot.
>>24937242Didn't say that, why you seething? Why don't you put my pesumptions to rest by saying something positive about the movie??
>>24934422Kubrick making Nabakov and fags like you seethe was one of his finest achievements
Is there a single movie that matches the life-changing depth of a novel? I mean I love movies, I've seen many more movies than I've read books. But when I read a good book like The Brothers Karamazov, it stays in my heart forever. I regularly reflect on the moral questions they pose. The written lines in those pages are imprinted inside of me to give me more life than I had before I read the book. With a movie, it's more about the sensation of watching it. They aren't very intellectual. Watching guns, explosions, women, etc is very exhilarating some films are indeed brilliant parables for our world but there's something about written word that triumphs over filmed experience. The Godfather is regarded as superior to the book, but is the movie Godfather superior to any of our greatest novels? Does it even stand among them?
>>24933454>>24938197La Jetée is by far the closest a movie gets from a book. It's a science fiction love story of a man who once had a platonic love in his childhood and was given a opportunity to meet his love in the past. It's 100% narrated and it has just static photos instead of the regular recorded movie. A very beautiful, warm and idealized movie which in my personal opinion takes the depth-novel style you would expect from a book. It's also very short btw.https://youtu.be/9UvjBJknABw
>>24938379Good call.Also this one.
Nigga looks more like Jack Ma than Mishima, kek.

>>24939128The most "literally me" movie I have ever seen.
>>24938197Pretty sure the movie Goodfellas changed my personality to the core ever since I watched it at 12 years old.
>>24939128If you watched this and didn't commiserate at least a little bit, you might not have a soul. I should look into Perec.
>>24936012had no clue this existed and that's my favorite book by him. thanks mishima anon.
>>24934833>Never. But the movie was incredible. What am I missing?quality of discussion itt
>>24938091>maybe they wont notice how mad i am
>>24939128read this back in the day. didn't know there was a movie. thanks.
>>24940616What discussion? Nobody is discussing. Why would I discuss of something I don't know? That anon has not watched the movie and is giving his opinion anyways.
>>24939128Indeed. I am a man and I slept through the film.
>>24939998me too, but not in an intellectual way
>>24934419Yeah
Ghost in the Shell.
>>24938197Abel Gance, Kubrick, Kurosawa, Tartovsky, etc were artists who filled as much content as possible within images and sounds, it is beyond pure impressionism, yet it is impressionistic too, because image will always overwhelm more than words.
>>24933654Holy kek
> Xavier Renegade Angel adapted from my diary desu
>>24940674Me neither, it just gave me a good rapport with criminals and scumbags who think I'm trustworthy enough to tell their business to.
not entirely on topic but mishima stared in a yakuza film: "afraid to die".
>>24934429Glare is achieved through filming not restoration. It's in every version.
>>24942864He's a film pseud looking for something to complain about. YouTube taught him that criticism is finding trifles, making a big deal out of them, and employing them to pretend you're superior to those who actually make stuff.
>>24942815I wish I could draw because that would make a great wojak image.
>>24941093In such a long thread, barely anyone has named filmmakers who stack upto classic writers.
>>24942864>>24943427>glare is present on film>digital restoration restores film and increases resolution >therefore glare is more noticableReally that simple. If you really think this isn't a real thing, just watch any movie filmed on film and compare it to movies filmed digitally. But something tells me you fags don't watch movies unless your letterboxd pseud boyfriend recommends them.
>>24944353Those anons are the same people who spend $100 on Criterion collections which saturate the fuck out of the original film just to appeal to stagnated millenials and zoomers. Watching a movie that isn't saturated to the point of being a long series of grey shots would likely make them have a stroke.
>>24943429isn't the whole point of wojaks that they're shitty traces? you should try
>>24944576The book mogs this to oblivion
>>24944931>o mah gooood my joyce reference deleted NOOOOOOkys, Despite beeing simpler than book it still was a true piece of art
>>24944985You didn't even read the book, it's not only the references, but entire important moments in the book can't be translated well to this film, like the waterproof moment, or when HH thinks he is being followed on the road, that scene alone mogs Pynchon career too
>>24945025the scene of HH being followed was executed well, you have no taste whatsoever
>>24944246Because exceedingly few of them exist.
>>24933417>not one mention of Lawrence of Arabia or AmadeusGenuinely shameful. Two of the most /lit/ movies ever made.
>>24945545Lawrence of Arabia is great.
I watch Lawrence once a year love that movie
>>24945259That should make it easier to name them you fool
>>24945545Amadeus is /mu/
>>24946940A good author is someone that I not only trust as an artist but as an intellectual. Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Wilde, Nabokov, Nietzsche, etc. Movie directors are not in this category. Only a few like Tarkovsky, Bergman and Bresson were formidable intellectual critics as well as accomplished artists. As far as pure art goes, I would put Scorsese on the level of some of my favorite authors in terms of what he says about people and the world through his movies
>>24934422It's not Lolita the book (what is?), but it's a good movie in its own right, with some terrific performances and weird, ominous shots/moments that at least are Nabokovian in feel. It's "on the wavelength," so to speak, and I think Kubrick did the best he could with a very strange and difficult script.On the other hand, the remake is one of the worst motion pictures of all time and can't even be enjoyed as camp.
People here will do anything except read a book
>>24935482This one gets very, very silly but there's a lot to like about it. Disheveled Lisa Bonet is the most beautiful human being of all time.
>>24936803Yi Yi is definitely better than his other movies which are a bit too dull in my opinion. It really is like a novel, every scene is layered with all these motifs and subtext
>>24946950Bergman was a pseud. Failed intellectual. I do agree with your definition though, Tartovsky does fit, and the op I originally replied to seemingly has the most comprehensive list (which is 4 names long).
>>24946966to be fair, no one really talks about or cares about the book anymore
I adore this movie, both cuts
Excalibur
