Film Adaptations of Literary Works
There are fewer and fewer original scripts, and more and more literary adaptations. This is exactly the pattern that has developed in cinema over the past few years. Directors often use tabloid fiction as a basis, which, however, they manage to turn, if not into a cinematic masterpiece, then into just a good movie. Classics are also adapted from time to time, but it's more for avid bookworms than for the average viewer. And sometimes they only find out about modern novels after a brand-new adaptation.
Cinema and literature have a difficult relationship. Should the film strictly follow the plot of the book being adapted? Or does the director have the right to freely handle the original? And finally, the question of all time: which is better, a book or a movie? Many famous film franchises came from literature: "Harry Potter," "The Lord of the Rings," and the trilogy that once broke all book sales records, "50 Shades of Grey." After all, not everyone reads books, but there's hardly anyone who doesn't watch movies.
