When the first victim in the movie appeared, I knew it will be different than what I’ve read. The main plot still remain, but certain story that support it, been changed. Normal I guess because, based on LOTR and Harry Potter, those movies based on the novels also changed. Perhaps for many reasons, yet of course the main reason is to maximize the profit from the movie by making the movie more interesting and less heavy.
Moreover the other reason is the approach is different. For novel writers, an excellent plot is crucial for the success of a novel, while combination of good sound effect, famous actors and actress although with the simple plot, the movie can still sell and survive. I think that’s the beauty of making a movie, either you survive, or you can say bye bye to luxury. It’s risky to produce a movie, but once it successful, you are soo damn rich :).
Sometimes, I wish I have my own production. But I have to accept the reality. There are big difference between dream and reality. And the possibilities to be it true, infinity :(..Yet, that doesn’t stop me to enjoy watching movies, I always love it :).
