He is a fan of pets and animal nutrition, an interest created during six years of labour at a local pet shop.
Books have been adapted to the silver screen countless times, starting way back before Hollywood was Hollywood. Basically, book adaptations have been around since cinema's birth, which is an interesting prospect for a lot of readers. Adaptations allow fans' favorite stories and characters to come to life in a way like no other on the screen, which not only provides fans with extra content but also allows them to relive those stories in a new way.
Honestly, listing all of the differences between the book and the film could take hours because The Golden Compass is completely unrecognizable from the source material. Thematically, the film sacrifices the novel's thought-provoking analyses of religion in favor of a kid-friendly story akin to Harry Potter. It's not that the movie was awful, although it certainly wasn't good.
8 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' Directed by Peter Jackson The Hobbit trilogy takes a lot of artistic liberties from its source material. Granted, the entire story is told without anything being really left out, but with a lot of extra padding. Such is the case with the final film, The Battle of Five Armies. This bloated film is by far the worst in the Hobbit trilogy because it's pretty much all action and very little substance, which is both good and bad.
6 'The Wizard of Oz' Directed by Victor Fleming It should go without saying that The Wizard of Oz is by far one of the most iconic movies of all time. Yet, in spite of this legendary status, it is wildly different from the novel. Now, there are some pretty good reasons for this, namely the fact that it was 1939 and CGI hadn't been invented yet. Thus, some scenes would have been literally unfilmable, even with practical effects.
On top of that, the battles in the movie are much longer and more drawn-out but also more exciting. Also, the ring being destroyed is a huge deal in the movie, but in the book, it isn't as widely celebrated as there are more chapters afterward. Ultimately, each version of the story is an epic tale for the ages in its own right, and each should be celebrated and immortalized until the end of time.
