Is this objectively the best book to film movie?
>>219341152
The Shining but only because the novel sucks by comparison
>>219341387>>219341991Lmao. My first two choices and what do I see? Satantango is a much better novel but The Shining obviously is better as a film.
>>219341152That would be silence of the lambs.
Fear and Loathing in Las VegasAmerican Psycho (great book though)The Luck of Barry LyndonOne Flew Over the Cuckoos NestShining is a good pick
>>219341152>what if the Terminator was slow, boring, and pretentious??its trash.
>>219341152EWS. Stanley was seriously good at this, taking kind of ho-hum and unremarkable source material and making something great out of it.
>>219341152Night of the Hunter mogs
reading is for homosexuals
>>219342143>Fear and Loathing in Las VegasMy pick as well>One Flew Over the Cuckoos NestQuite a bit different than the bookFilth was also a very good adaptation
>>219342204I think Kubrick deliberately adapted writing with room for improvement because it's easier to see what needs fixing in somebody else's work than your own, or adapting a perfect book/script. Meant he didn't need to start from zero but also allowed him wiggle room to change stuff, it's pretty genius
>>219341152I clapped when nothing happened! it made me feel smart and like a big boy!
>>219341152Lol, no, everything William Wyler adapted is better than this.It's good for a 21st century movie, but it doesn't compare to the great director's films.
>>219342242>>219342143I love both book and movie of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I don't think are that different either, though the book is more intense and psychedelic, the movie captures the gist of it and does its own thing. I'd say it's a very successful adaptation.
>>219342192Stop brainrotting you adhd zoomer subhuman.
>>219341991Laughable.>>219342216It sure does. Anything from the 30s - 70s does. In what fucking world do the Cohen brothers make great movies?
for those that actually read Suttree is an all time favorite book and I'd much rather get a drama series adaptation of it than Blood Meridian>>219342444checked>>219342242absolutely OFOCN is a very different book than the film but both are great regardless
Most Western films are superior to their literary source. Western Novels are actually kinda shitty as literature but their simplicity makes the movie adaptations incredibly strong.
The most well read booktuber steve donoghue says film adaptations of books are better 99% of the time. He says although he isnt a fan of films, they get to the point faster and remove filler.
>>219342719Based steve. He's the best and his TDS is funny as hell. He's always showing up on some zoomers podcast and shitting on Cormac McCarthy saying he won't be remembered in 50 years
>>219342204He really had a knack for it, on the other hand Lolita which is considered a great book(haven't read it) mad for a meh movie>absolutely OFOCN is a very different book than the film but both are great regardlessYeahDon't think blood meridian could be made into a movie nowadays, suttrre has a better chance of being something good just don't let james franco near it or any other book to be desu
>>219342719So why isn't he a fan of films then?
>>219342921BM could have never been made into a movie. It's too bookish, the prose poetry is next level.
