...that almost all the movies we see/saw are adapted screenplays?
Many movies have been a book before hitting the big screen and we haven't bothered reading it but then we watch the movie. I don't mean the obvious ones like "The Hunger Games" and "The Descendants" or such books/movies but rather the ones we grew up with or just the classic movies we all love... I have to do a presentation in class next week, that's why I know so much about it at the moment. And the more research I do the more fascinated I am with how many movies are based on a book. And even more by the fact how many people (from other blogs and web forums) dislike the adapted movies. But if you read through all those criticisms it gets quite obvious that many people just don't know that there are limitation to an adaption and that there is never a perfect adaption of a book. Everyone has their own opinions and imagination, so everybody WILL see something different in a sentence, character or certain scene. Just because it isn't EXACTLY like the book it doesn't mean that it's a bad (adapted) movie...
