Bloody brilliant
Everything I love about classic literature... whenever it's made into a movie, it's made into crap. I can't explain why, precisely, except that maybe pictures just simply can't capture the emotion words can.
I just recently finished the book "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, reading it on my own and not for class, and fell absolutely in love with it. It's easily one of the best books I've read in my life (right up there with "Lord of the Flies" and "Picture of Dorian Gray") and I've heard they're making a movie that's said to come out in 2011, rumored to be starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Bernard Marx.
... whut.
So I went in search of other movie adaptations of the novel. I found two, one produced by BBC1 that was really kind of terrible but the plot was almost accurate, and one made more recently with gorgeous actors but the plotline veered to the left.
Finally - FINALLY - I've found an adaptation I really enjoyed. I enjoyed it almost as much as the novel itself. And, coincidentally, no picture to ruin the imagination's work that makes the story so very complete.
I give you the Brave New World radio play.
