How come books that are the basis for the best movies ever made are never considered to be the best books ever written and vice versa?To put it simply, The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is often considered to be in the running for one of the greatest movies ever made, but Mario Puzo's novel that it's an adaptation of is hardly ever spoken of as one of the greatest books ever written. Moby Dick by Herman Melville is often lauded as one of the greatest novels ever written, but none of the adaptations receive similar praise as films. Do you get what I'm saying?
>>223437826>why is literature and film not interchangeable in terms of adaptationWhat kind of stupid question is that? Literature is a fundamentally different medium with its own strengths and weaknesses.
>>223437826I just realized Coppola’s last name sounds like the formal name for Gabagool. The Italian Americans bastardized the original name of that slice of meat. It was originally called “capocollo”We SHOULD be talking about that instead This is extremely fucking racist, saar
The answer is literally "it's complicated." It's complicated writing a book, it's complicated making a movie, and it's even more complicating transposing a story between the two mediums.In the case of the Godfather, the book sucks because it tells multiple stories, only one of which is good. That's the story that Coppola extracted and converted, so the movie ended up being good. But in the book to read the good parts you also have to slog through a disgusting liberal fantasy about a hotshot abortion doctor who fixes a woman born with a cavernous vagina. So that case is very straightforward. The book would have been brilliant if it was just the story that you saw in the film. But it also would have been less than a hundred pages long and therefore unpublishable. As for Moby Dick, that's a whole different enchilada. I think because so much of that book takes place in the narrator's head, drawing on dry exposition and historical details, that it just wouldn't translate well to the screen.
>>223437826the godfather isnt that good and most books sucks or are very difficult to adapt without constant exposition
What was the point of this movie?
>>223435925Then why didn't they make it entertaining?
>>223436725If this was a standalone original story it wouldn't make any sense. The movie was just a compilation of resident evil references, there was barely a story attached.
>>223436791Something thoughtful and inspired with effort put into it.
>>223435852aggressive propaganda against white males and pro abortion

What did I think of the new Resident Evil movie?
You thought it was even more reddit than people told you here.
You thought it was kino and the best game to film adaption beside Postal
>>223437621Why was Baron Harkonnen and the black lady from True Detective S4 in the movie? I think they also borrowed from the videogame Look Outside, when the little girl says "Mommy bit me, my foot feels weird," that scene was like beat for beat inspired by one early in that game.I ended up liking the movie, other than the cliffhanger ending which IS NOT A FUCKING ENDING AT ALL YOU CAN'T JUST STOP THE MOVIE YOU HAVE TO CONCLUDE IT
Lazy & bad. there's a difference & it's both
>>223437621So someone tell me, is this a prequel to the Milla Jovovich Resident Evil films? Or is this some stand alone remake different universe sort of thing where the Milla Jovovich movies don't exist?
