More often than not I am disappointed in the film version. I remember one film, called <span style="font-style:italic;">The Lawnmower Man</span> that was supposedly based on a short story of the same name by Stephen King. The film maker took so many liberties with it that it was hardly recognizable from the original story.<br /><br />Do you think the film versions of novels and short stories enhance or detract from the original story?<br /><br />What are some movies you have seen that stayed true to the original story?<br /><br />Is it necessary for film makers to take some creative license with the original story in order to make the film more interesting?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9073898691703673808-7273544682893858641?l=ahsgoread2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Librarymusenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073898691703673808.post-63081288844517759152010-02-04T11:33:00.000-08:002010-02-04T11:34:42.945-08:00AHS students - coming soon - our first Books into Movies discussion!
