The kids also were well chosen. <BR/>Generally movie adaptations dont do justice to the books cos they cant compete with one's imagination. LOTR and HP series were a disappointment to me. <BR/>I found Life is beautiful, the movie more interesting than the book. <BR/>Well, waiting to watch a good movie now..Tamannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931713441342809150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7138119.post-1137309821828231382006-01-15T12:53:00.000+05:302006-01-15T12:53:00.000+05:30Also, the worst movie translation has to be Bride ...Also, the worst movie translation has to be Bride and Prejudice.

A lot of Bengali cinema actually manages to translate literature on the screen quite well. Is it because of the brilliant of the film maker or a greater familiarity with literature amongst the audience. On the average Bengali's read vernacular literature far more than the average North Indian reads his Mahadevi Verma.Rohit Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974780088015911428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7138119.post-1133824528549129872005-12-06T04:45:00.000+05:302005-12-06T04:45:00.000+05:30I agree with you.

There may be valid reason for that happening as you suggest, but then why make the film at all? Look at what Oliver Stone, a well respected filmmaker, did to 'Alexander', or how a breathtakingly beautiful Keira Knightely as Elizabeth in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is going to tip the balance in favor of 'beauty', quite the opposite of what Austen hoped to do via her novels; raise respect for female intelligence with or without beauty.<BR/>Film makers should leave some books alone!Id it ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933156607975500727noreply@blogger.com
