i get this with things like dracula, it works best in book form. dracula is essentially victorian 'found footage' and it works by looking like it's something that is being pieced together through multiple people's different letters and diaries and newspaper clippings and you can't really translate that into film very well, you don't get that same almost all over the place nature that comes through in the book. you don't get as much as a feel for who the characters are and how they view the world because in a movie you only really see things through one or two lenses.

it's the same with the book theif by markus zusak, it feels like it has to be taken slowly to get the time frame and how things develop correctly. we also dont get the interjections from death, which in the book are very important to the narrative. you also don't get the same symbolism with the colours. in the book you seethe symbols of a red square,the white circle and the black sw@stica which you dont see in the movie and that moment with death at the beginning is so important to setting up the story.

in both cases you also have to cut out a lot of important moments because movies dont tend to be more than an hour and a half to two hours long on average so you can't fit everything in and you lose a lot of things that can be integral to understanding what you're watching.

that's not to say that everything is better as a book. there are plenty of things that work better on a screen or stage than they would as a book, these are just two examples of things that do come across better in writing

I firmly believe that some stories can never be translated into a different medium and that's okay

i actually need to rewatch the terror becuz that post that was like, there is a running theme of storytellers being dishonest so is the story in the terror really what it seems? RIGHT?

so like listen to me

hickey lashed 23 times, stabs irving 23 times, caesar stabbed 23 times

like hickey believes he was betrayed but u the audience don't agree becuz the narrative is telling u to disagree but what if u are being LIED TO by the narrative

right?
