Book movies

Have you ever watched a movie based on a book and you were waiting for a part of a book that you loved and they didn’t even add it in? Recently, Catching Fire, Ender’s game, City of Bones and a few other book have had a movie made for them. While watching them I kept seeing the movie leave out some of my favorite parts. I am angered but, I decided to look at movie writer’s problems. First, Suppose you have a 500 page book and can only make a 150 minute movie (which is still really long) that means that 3.333 pages occurs a minute or, 1/20 of a page per second for a 2 and a half hour long movie! Most likely movies are only a hour and a half so that is about 1/10 of a page per second. Two, who want’s a one minute long major fight scene. And finally three, honestly movies have to cut out all the fluff of a book so think about that next time you are flustered.

  1. That happens to me all the time where they leave my favorite part of the book out of the movie. You do make a good point though on how hard it is to make a movie that everyone enjoys.
