Is this really a pattern or am I just paranoid?
I was watching the trailer for the upcoming movie “Sinners” and some right-wing comments are saying that the movie is DEI. The movie is new with new and original characters. Isn’t that what they said to do?
My only complaint was that Ariel doesn’t have the firery red hair she had when I was a kid. But then again, I’m not exactly the target audience anymore, so I don’t really care. Nor have I seen the new movie for that matter. I hear she did a great acting job, though. I just hope she’ll be able to star in something that isn’t the target of the culture war.
Maybe I’m just an oddball, but I’ve stopped caring (too much) about adaptational changes when something goes from book to film. I enjoy them separately as long as they’re both good in their own rights.
Yeah, same. Take Foundation, for example. I absolutely love the books. And I think the TV adaption is pretty good too. Sure, they’re wildly different, but I’m fairly sure being true to the books simply wouldn’t work on the screen as there would be way too many characters and each syb-plor would be way too short. Adaptational changes are needed for a story to translate between formats.
