RE: NOTES FROM AN AMATEUR WRITER #47 - Books vs Movies: Who Wore it Better?

in #writing7 years ago

Personally, I prefer the versions of characters my head creates... I am a reader from way back. A screen version of a character seems to move in and takes away the romance and relationship I have with a written character and its author. I try to avoid movies after books. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

It can be frustrating to see a book adaptation on film, and have the characters nothing like we envisage them to be. I think once you have a wonderful experience with a book, it can be hard to trust the story in the hands of another. It has become your own movie, played out inside your own head. Why let go of that?

Thanks for your comment.
