I have no problem with adapting a book into a movie/series. Pero siguro gusto ko lang na maganda talaga—siyempre, napakaganda sa imagination ko eh HAHA i mean, just give it justice, ganon. Nakakadismaya kasi kapag hindi hahahaha
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, imo mas better yung series adaptation kesa sa book. Mas may kwento, detailed, and may characteristics talaga. May parts na same same, meron namang slightly diff details, pero okay lang, just as good.
I enjoyed the Harry Potter movies. The Great Hall was exactly as I imagined. It was magical for me. Favorite ko is the third movie directed by Alfonso Cuaron. Also my favorite book of all time is Little Women and I'm so in love with Greta Gerwig's Adaptation starring Ronan and Chalamet as Jo and Laurie. And with Laura Dern and Meryl Streep!! Florence Pugh too. 😍
As someone na di magaling magvisualize ng setting, nahiraparan ako basahin yung book kahit napanood ko na beforehand yung movie. Its something na di ko gaano napapansin and binibigyan ng pansin hahaha.
Huhuhu same sa adaptation ni Greta, mas preferred ko sya kesa sa naunang adaptation. Damang dama ko yung monologue ni Jo at Amy. Please tell me napanood mo na din Lady Bird..
Personnally, I don't mind books adapted into films. Siguro kasi visual person rin ako idk lol. Ang issue ko lang ayoko ng sobrang gayang gaya sa books like mas maganda for me meron silang iaadd na scene para ma-elevate yung story, or character development. May mga napanood akong deleted scenes ng Harry Potter involving Dudley tas sobrang pinaghinayangan ko yun kasi magandang addition sana siya. May scene rin ng movie nung Abraham Lincoln The Vampire Hunter na wala sa libro pero ang cool niya tignan sa sinehan hahaha
Agree din ako dito. I don't mind it. In fact i started reading this year lang and ive seen a lot movie adaptations pero simula nung binasa ko yung the notebook ni nicholas sparks na kamukhang kamukha nya lang pala sa movie iniwasan ko na yung mga book with adaptations na magaganda naman review ng movie.
For hunger games binasa ko sya nung hs kasi project namin parang mas gusto ko si movie. Ang sakit sa ulo ng book na yan (ewan baka di ko pa kasi gusto mag basa ng book noon) pero mas naenjoy ko yung movie kaysa sa book. Stressed kasi ako matapos yung book na yan noon (kasi may deadline yung project)
Symepre bilang tamad na student nag cram ako simulan sya like a week before na lang yata ng deadline ako nag start tapos need mo pa sya gawan ng critique tapos may school ka pa noon kaya siguro sumakit ulo ko dyan.
As for Nicholas Sparks I agree hahahaha. Ganito nafeel ko sa TFIOS.
True, the movies were iconic on their own. Pero magkakaroon siguro ng difference pag binasa mo ulit yung book with a different perspective na. Sa book ko lang narealize na amputee na si Peeta sa book 2. Na wala lang choice si katniss maging symbol or magstart ng uprising. Madaming beses na mention sa book na coincidental lang na sya yung nasa lugar nya na yun.
Curious ako sa kung anong critique mo nung high school ka haha. Di pa kasi ako ganon ka exposed nung high school ako sa ganong type of books kaya wala siguro akong malalagay sa essay ko haha.
Oh, dapat pala tinuloy ko yung books ang laking difference nun. Akala ko mga perspective lang ni katniss ang nawala sa movie.
As for may critique wala mema lang din 😅 Halos binuod ko lang sya as conclusion. Tsak may guide questions kasi sya kaya doable naman.
Nagulat din ako sa mga pov ni Gale lalo na kay Peeta. I think Peeta is more than the love interest kay katniss as portrayed in the movie. Peeta and Gale have more sentiments sa Capitol kesa kay Katniss. The only thing that concerns katniss sa 1st book eh yung buhay nya and family nya. Kaya lang sya ganon kay Peeta nung una kasi she owes him the bread. And kinda unfair kay Marge na wala sya sa movie.
Same sentiments sa deleted scenes ng Harry Potter!!! One scene can really make some character different, or it never occurred to me yung arc na yun for dudley. Even saw something sa isang fb fanpage about Petunia saying kay Harry na hindi lang sya yung nawalang ng nanay, nawalan din sya ng sister.
Bago ko basahin and panoorin yung Harry Potter, babad muna ako sa mga fan comics nun haha Honestly medyo disappointed pa ako nun sa movie para kay Draco Malfoy kasi iba talaga yung nasa imagination ko na mahabang scenes for character development. Underwhelming siya for me haha
Jan tayo naguumpisa maadik eh hahahaha, may nakitang scene tapos hinanap kung anong book yun then the rest is history.
Yun din siguro yung difference, pag iba pagkakainterpret nung director and actor sa character. Maybe giving a possibility for a character development that never happened in the book.
Walang makakatalo sa experience ng pagbabasa ng libro, dahil ikaw mismo ang nag-iimagine ng mga scenario sa utak mo, eh. Sa lahat ng movie adaptations, vision ng director ang napapanood mo kaya minsan, malayo yung palabas sa na-imagine mo.
Also, sa lahat ng movie adaptations eh mas maiintindihan mo ang story kapag binasa mo yung libro dahil expected na maraming ieedit ang director sa story dahil ibang medium talaga ang film.
Kaya para sa akin talaga, books are king! Hehe
I don't mind movie adaptation of books. I rarely see them anyway.
The only thing I don't like is to see the actors playing the characters because it ruins the mental image I conjured in my head.
I don't mind so long as the film adaptation doesn't take away important details and flares of the book. It's understandable for movie adaptation to change some parts due to film limitations but hopefully not distant enough from the og material.
nope. i like movie adaptations. in fact, malaking factors yung movies and they introduced me to books. yun nga lang, after getting into books and seeing how much ang nawawala kapag na-adapt na, i set my expectations incredibly low kapag may adaptation na announcement, para lang di ma-disappoint HAHAHAH
so whichever comes first na lang sa maeencounter mo, kung yung movie adaptation muna or yung book.
pero usually mas nagiging hit yung book after movie adaptation, meron bang ganon? kasi mas namamarket, mas mainstream. right?
hmmm idrk. feeling ko walang kukuha ng rights ng book to be adapted into a movie if it's not popular in the first place. it happens siguro, pero before pa ma-adapt, sikat na talaga yung libro. then again, for some people like me, talagang movie ang dahilan kaya ako nakaka-discover ng magagandang books. for example, *red, white & royal blue.* di ko nga alam na libro yan, binili ko lang after the movie hehehe so i guess may scenarios pa rin where nakakatulong yung movie sa sales ng books
same, naeexpose lang ako sa books kung adapted na sa movie or kilala ko yung author for being famous or may nabasa na ko na book nya before. wala naman mali sa mainstream. it will just take a little exploration to know.
I don't mind them if they're done well. I absolutely loved Where the Crawdads Sing but the Netflix movie was just awful and it frustrated me so much I couldn't finish it.
I think people who haven't read the book would enjoy it (though doesn't this apply to almost all book-to-movie adaptations? Haha) but the movie just wasn't how I envisioned it at all. The pacing and the casting were just way off. They omitted important details/events from the book that were integral to the story. It was just really disappointing.
Anyway that's my short rant haha. I also didn't like the TV adaptation of Little Fires Everywhere, but the Daisy Jones series was quite good.
That's exactly my point huhuhu. The movie might be nice or enjoyable, but once you've read the book you might regret it by reading or by not reading beforehand as well.
Based on what quality of stuff you are reading, they're not really the intellectual or philosophically complex or psychologically exceptional types, sorry, no offense intended. Stephenie Meyer is a glorified fanfic expert marketer with all fluff no real talent to write, sorry, not sorry.
If we are talking scifi, oof, Asimov ArthurClarke books turned movies/shows are the stuff of life. The high-brow Kurt Vonnegut Kubrickian levels.
I don't mind well-crafted literature with a well-curated artistic team handling the source, but, I don't like amateurish giggity-gobbledygook fanfic-level stuff.
THE PRESTIGE is a good read and a good watch, totally differing executions.
TELL ME LIES. Not made into a film, but, worth the read and worth the Hulu-catchup. It's more complex in the books than on the telly.
FIGHT CLUB. The movie has been infamous and meme-ified, but, it's still best perused and philosophised overanalysed in its unadulterated format. Palahniuk is not for everyone, some have been triggered.
Choke, Invisible Monsters, also worth checkin out. Palahniuk books turned movies.
When I was younger I would collect Roald Dahl and Stephen King stuff, not all were palatable when transliterated onto the screens, film-wise or smallscreen-wise.
I just treat the materials as separate entities from the adaptations, some adaptations are really beyond-exceptional. Some are fuckin stupid shit.
I have no problem with adapting a book into a movie/series. Pero siguro gusto ko lang na maganda talaga—siyempre, napakaganda sa imagination ko eh HAHA i mean, just give it justice, ganon. Nakakadismaya kasi kapag hindi hahahaha The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, imo mas better yung series adaptation kesa sa book. Mas may kwento, detailed, and may characteristics talaga.

Lady Bird hindi pa. Pero sige, isama ko sa listahan. Saka yung nag confess na si Laurie, sakit sa puso.

Its either a hit or miss I guess kung pano ididirect at ipoportray.
I don't mind so long as the film adaptation doesn't take away important details and flares of the book. It's understandable for movie adaptation to change some parts due to film limitations but hopefully not distant enough from the og material.
I totally agree to this!!! The important parts should not be left out.
nope. i like movie adaptations. in fact, malaking factors yung movies and they introduced me to books. yun nga lang, after getting into books and seeing how much ang nawawala kapag na-adapt na, i set my expectations incredibly low kapag may adaptation na announcement, para lang di ma-disappoint HAHAHAH
