Worthy of originals

1. Forrest Gump
Many say that the adaptation of the book by Winston Groom at times surpassed the original. Indeed, in the book, you will not see that naive, touching and good guy, and hardly it will cause a lot of sympathy. The film became a worldwide phenomenon that even now, 20 years later, it would be desirable to revise again and again.



2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
F. Scott Fitzgerald story takes only a couple dozen pages. In this short story very briefly describes how there was an unusual fate Benjamin. Brilliant fantasy Fitzgerald in David Fincher's got a second life, a little more interesting and vivid than on paper. The film will no doubt give more food for thought and the keys to the door, which the author of the original story did not open.



3. The Heart of a Dog
Mikhail Bulgakov's book is definitely a masterpiece. However, the film was shot so beautifully, and the actors are chosen so well that it is able to convey the emotional content of the printed product. Many say that the visual solution adds a lot of feelings for coloring the characters and this, of course, only wins.



4. The Shawshank Redemption
The book "Rita Hayworth, or The Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King admired by many. And let it not particularly difficult thoughts, and emotions, just say it does not ooze out, but it takes a chord. Perhaps because of such books and cinema masterpieces are born. Film based on the story, is in the top of almost all lists of "compulsory viewing" and "the best movie in the history of world cinema." This is the rare case where the threads indirectly affected in the book were developed in the picture.



5. The Great Gatsby
Fitzgerald story, of course, is good. But the same film adds a lot of color, more vivid sensations, helps to better understand the book, perhaps even better feel for the characters, to understand their internal state and to understand their thoughts.



6. Seventeen Moments of Spring
A small but fascinating book Juliana Semenova Tatiana Lioznova managed to stretch to 12 episodes, not "harm" in this material and did not losing tension film narration. Remarkably selected actors revealed the characters and gave brightness quite restrained narrative of the book.



7. The Painted Veil
Maugham's book was devoted mostly to the main character of Kitty and was, in fact, a novel about the education of the senses. In the film, the director looks at things a little more broadly - and here that love descends suddenly, and as usual condescending Western view of the East and of honor, nobility, courage, and other such things. This human history impeccably played by all actors.



8. Jaws
In 1975, Steven Spielberg based on the novel by Peter Benchley's "Jaws" was shot the same film, pobivshy many records box office and became "the first summer blockbuster" in history. This is the case, when a fairly conventional novel managed to make a really entertaining and dynamic picture.



9. Interview with the Vampire
Lovely touches the soul of the film. In general, you can hardly something to lose if they are familiar only with the film version - it is exactly the same as with a stunning book, until the clothes, random phrases and experiences of the characters. Well, or at least the film will lead you to the same delight. The ending of the book and the ending of the film are completely different idea. And it is very difficult to understand that better.



10. The Meeting Place Can not Be Changed
I must say that this adaptation of the book Weiner "Era of Mercy" is quite accurate. Brilliant replica transferred to the script almost word for word; plot and organizational - all at altitude. But it is amazing how Stanislav Govorukhin managed to shoot so dynamic, exciting, emotional film, based on a sufficiently discreet detective.
