Books into Movies

As many of you know, many really good books get turned into movies. I think it’s really cool when that happens, but something that bugs me is: “Why are the movies so different from the books?” Harry Potter for example, I don’t exactly read the books, but many people have said that the books are really different from the movies. Why? Why can’t they just do a script out of the book? Why do they have to take out so many good parts, and add unnecessary scenes? I think it just ruins everything. Like I have mentioned before, my favorite book in the world is called Twilight. It is such a great book, that of course, they are making a movie out of it. At first, I was really excited. I was like “Yes! They are making a movie out of these books! I can’t wait for it to come out!” I was so excited! And then, my first disappointment came: The actors and actresses. When I saw which people had the role of the characters I was like, whoa! What? They are nothing like the characters! How can they do this? I thought the movie was going to be ruined! Then, another disappointment came: They are changing so many scenes! I was really upset about that, because I was looking forward to a few parts that they changed. Now, I’m not sure if I want to see the movie anymore. Maybe I’ll see it, but just to see it, not because I am totally excited for it or anything. So I have talked to you about disappointments in the making of movies based on books; though not all movies are really different from the books. A book we read last year called “The Outsiders” wasn’t a very good book. It was okay. But they made a movie of it, and literally, made the script out of the book! It was cool to see the movie exactly the same as the book! I really wish that all movies based on books could be like that.
