Why books should not be movies

[saintbacchus]

Alla:

<<
It is my view about all movies, which are adaptations. I've seen a  
lot and to tell you the truth, I am still yet to see the movie, 
which told the story better than the book.

Oh, that's an easy one. It's a Dutch film called "Character," and 
you'll find it in the foreign section.


<<
I DO expect the movie to state as close as possible to the book. PoA 
failed spectacularly in that aspect, IMO. By the way, it does not 
mean that I did not like the movie, I did. But, I liked it as  a 
totally different entity, which in my imagination had almost no 
relation to the PoA.
>>

Really? Then why do you care whether the movie stuck closely to the 
book?
