- Do you typically enjoy films that are based off of books or do you avoid them? It depends on whether I read the book or not, or if it's a type of book I'd read. So it depends :D Some movies based on books that I've loved, I didn't read the book till later (Little Women) or I never read the book (Something Borrowed).
- Would you rather read the book or watch the movie first? I'm not sure... Usually books that get made into movies are books I wouldn't read in general
- What are some example(s) of films or movies based on books that got it right? The 1994 versions of Little Women and Black Beauty
- What are some example(s) of films or movies based on books that got it wrong? The Bone Collector... UG just horrible
- If you see a film based on a book does it make you want to go and read the book? Again, depends on the movie and/or book but not usually no.
You're right, that is a pretty good adaptation of Little Women! I forgot it on my list. Claire Danes' performance in particular really stood out for me.
I always love media about sisters, 'cause I have 3 of my own, lol.
Its funny because I didnt read Little Women until I was in graduate school! The older black and white verison is good too but I like th 94 verison better. Did you hear Michale Weatherly (of NCIS fame) is goinf to be producing a verison foe CW? It sounds horrible to me and i worry itll ruin the book's name
I don't think I've ever read the full version, actually! LOL! I had (well, still have) an abridged version that was given to me by an elementary school teacher as a birthday gift.
I think I vaguely remember hearing something like that... I don't... pay a lot of attention to what happens with the CW, lol.
I don't know if it was my hatred of Angelina Jolie or just how much they deviated from the book, but yah the series is great, Jeffrey Deaver is a great writer
