A book turning into a movie is not a new thought for us. We almost always criticize the film not being up to the good work of the book. But most of the time we fail to understand that motion pictures has its own limitations.
A book, when we read, gives us the liberty to use our own imagination to create pictures. Each and every detail in the book helps in creating them. For example, when Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was released, the imaginary world of wizards and witchcraft amazed the readers, and with the description in the book they built their own Hogwarts. When the movie was released, the audience was happy that most of their imagination was recreated into celluloid.
But as the sequels were released, the same audience felt a little let down. There are several other examples like The Da Vinci Code, Twilight, Hello (One Night at the Call Center) to name a few.
When we watch a movie that is adapted from a book, we forget about the part of the audience who must not have read the book. If they understand the story, then the makers have succeeded in their attempt.
Films also help to use our imagination by reading the untold expressions from a character’s face. Though the images are already created and displayed, we do have the freedom to decipher the expressions and think on our own.
