People who love reading are frequently disappointed by the movie versions of their favorite books. There have been some great films made from books, but typically, movie versions of books
tend to aggrieve readers because they are not just like the book. When
a film director works from an adapted screenplay, the results are not
the same as reading the book, for various reasons. For example, a film
that precisely follows a novel likely would be too long for most
audiences to sit through at a single showing, so some things must be
left out. Also, a book can easily convey things to the reader that are
much more difficult for a movie to convey, such as background
information about the setting, the history and nature of characters'
relationships or even what characters are thinking at certain times.
Importance of Imagination
Books and movies
are very different entities. Films leave little to viewers’
imaginations. When reading, a person is creating his or her own movie
in a sense, and he or she decides many of the important parts: how the
characters speak, what they look like and what their surroundings look
like. This process of imagining and interpreting as a reader is a
creative process that is distinctly different from viewing a film.
Casting Decisions
When directors cast roles for films, the actor or actress inevitably
does not look the way that most readers of the book had pictured the
character. For instance, casting Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code
has been considered a significant mistake by many people. In fact, the
book describes Langdon as resembling actor Harrison Ford, who bears no
resemblance to Hanks.
Other types of casting decisions that often disappoint moviegoers are
when an actor or actress who is known for comedic roles is cast in a
dramatic role, or when an actor or actress is given a leading role in a
major film despite having acting skills that are considered less than
stellar. No matter how the actor or actress performs in the film, it can
be difficult for viewers who know him or her from other films to
disregard their previous impressions. An actor or actress who speaks
with an accent that does not fit the role — either because the character
should have a particular accent or because the actor or actress does
when the character should not — also can be disappointing for people who
"heard" the character's voice differently while reading the book.
Missing Material
A classic complaint about movie versions concerns the omission of
material that the reader finds important. If the director must make
film that is the proper length for a theatrical release, there is no way
to include everything, especially when it comes from a long novel. The
film version of Gone with the Wind, for example, omits the fact
that Scarlett O’Hara had two children by her first two husbands, and
she really disliked the children.
Perhaps the director wanted to make Scarlett more sympathetic and
knew that portraying this dislike would make people hate Scarlett. It is
an important aspect of the book, and it forms her character into a much
more complex person. The film, to many people, is better than the book,
but to other people, it is a good movie but not a faithful
representation of the book.
Making Changes
Another thing that might annoy people about the film versions of their favorite books is adding material to the story or changing material. There are many such complaints regarding Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Ringsmovies,
for instance. Important material, such as the battle in the Shire at
the end of the last book, is deleted, and other material that was not
written by J.R.R. Tolkien was added to the films. These changes include
Arwen setting off for the Gray Havens and then nearly dying, Aragorn’s
flirtation with Eowyn, Sauruman’s death by falling off the tower of
Isengard and Frodo abandoning Sam before crossing into Mordor. Other
additions included Faramir torturing Gollum and kidnapping Frodo and Sam
as well as Faramir’s intention to seize the ring from Frodo.
Different Interpretations
Despite the complaints about differences from the Tolkien's books,
Jackson's films are widely considered to be quite good. The problem for
Jackson and other directors is that their interpretation of a book is
not the same as anyone else's. In the end, no director can satisfy
everyone who read the book, because he or she works off a personal
interpretation, might be under time constraint and is working in a
completely different medium. Each person creates a mental version while
reading a book, and no film version can live up to everyone's mental
vision.
