10 films, which were better than books
good adaptation of the book are the exception rather than the rule. This is understandable: the book - especially a world in which everyone finds something different. A talented writer is able to create this world, but not every director can pass it.
< Website I explore more books to film the formation and chose 10 films, many of which often cause more excitement than the original.
Forrest Gamp
Many note 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.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Battona
The story of Francis Scott Fitzgerald takes a couple dozen pages. In this short story very briefly describes how Benjamin has developed an unusual fate. Fitzgerald's brilliant fantasy in the film by David Fincher got a second life, a little more interesting and vivid than on paper. The film is without a doubt provides more food for thought, and the keys to the door, which the author of the original story did not open.
Dog serdtse
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 point out that the decision adds a lot of visual sensations to the coloring of the characters and this, of course, only wins.
Escape from Shoushenka
The book "Rita Hayworth, and The Shawshank Redemption," Stephen King's many delights. And though it does not particularly complex thoughts, and emotions, just say it does not ooze out, but it takes a chord. Perhaps because of such books are born masterpieces of cinema. The film, shot on this 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.
Great Getsbi
Fitzgerald's story, of course, is good. But the same film adds a lot of colors, more vivid sensations, helps to better understand the book, perhaps even a better feel for the characters, to recognize their internal state and to understand their thoughts.
Seventeen Moments vesny
A small, but fascinating book Juliana Semenova Tatiana Lioznova managed to stretch to 12 series, not "harm" with the material: no lost cinematic tension that was in the book. Great actors chosen to reveal the nature of heroes and gave brightness quite restrained narrative of the book.
Painted vual
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 - here and that love descends suddenly, and as usual condescending Western view of the East and of honor, nobility, courage, and other such things. This human story played impeccably by all the actors.
Chelyusti
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 from a fairly conventional novel managed to make a really entertaining and dynamic picture.
Interview with vampirom
Lovely touches the soul of the film. In general, you are unlikely to lose something, if only to get acquainted with the film version - it is exactly the same as with a stunning book, up to garments, casual 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.
Venue change nelzya
I must say that this adaptation of the book Vainer "Era of Mercy" is quite accurate. Brilliant replica transferred almost word for word in the script; thematically and organizationally - all at altitude. But it is amazing how Stanislav Govorukhin was possible to remove so dynamic, exciting, emotional film, based on fairly low-key detective.
