I tend to want to read books and then avoid the movie to avoid having my own imagination changed . . . and also, I tend to be a real wimp when it comes to violence and suspense in movies (something about the visual and auditory amplification), but I can read nearly anything (stopping when I have to pause). All that said, there are some movies I would see - and Memoirs of a Geisha is one of them. I loved the book, and based on your description, it sounds like I would love the film too! Don't think I could handle The Lovely Bones in movie form.nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445777687088584603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-40845972048022583492011-04-19T08:48:56.881-04:002011-04-19T08:48:56.881-04:00In years past I always agreed with your opinion th...In years past I always agreed with your opinion that the movie didn't do justice to the book. Usually because in the movie they couldn't share the thoughts of characters.<br /><br />I still think it varies. But what I haven't appreciated is a movie whose dialogue was EXACTLY the same as the written words in a book. I've seen that a couple times but not recently. Don't ask for a "for instance." You know how poor my memory is about such things. I am also looking forward to WFE. I saw a couple clips from it and I'm not so sure it's been miscast.

While I am still sometimes disappointed by what's difference or left out, I know that book and movies are two different mediums and use different ways of telling the same story. Now, I can generally enjoy both.Karen M.

The Lovely Bones was well done, but I wonder if the movie goer could imagine what the villian really did to that poor girl. There was also no real talking of her view of "heaven". <br />I haven't read Water for Elephants yet, but I'm in no rush for the movie so I'll see if I can read before seeing the movie. <br />It's kind of fun to change your mind on a topic like this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-18301995519292288562011-04-17T22:05:11.228-04:002011-04-17T22:05:11.228-04:00I'm so excited for Water for Elephants!
