You are going to lose a lot of the plot, a lot of characterisation, perhaps even some entire characters. A film has to be over and done with in, generally at most, two. An average book can take six to eight hours to read, let’s say. The trouble with converting books to films (I’ll get on with the review shortly) is that the mediums are so totally different that it becomes practically an impossibility. Forrest Gump was a book eight years before it was a film, but I’m willing to bet that some of you reading this now didn’t even know it had originally been a book.
While Hollywood continues to take hold of someone else’s writing and often destroy it for a quick buck at the box office, very rarely do you see it happen the other way around. “Let me say this: bein a idiot is no box of chocolates.”īooks and movies, movies and books.
