When a book is made into a movie, how "true" to th
MOVIE: a collection of images that flow according to artistic--or even neural--rules.

Thus, the two "artforms" operate on VERY different sets of rules. Neverending Story was a pretty good movie of the first half of the book (only.) It was rather faithful to that first half, but the second half was after meeting the princess (which was where the movie ended), trying to meet her again and almost losing his mind in the attempt. Instead, the sequels had NOTHING to do with the book at all (one of the many reasons they sank like rocks.) Get a copy of the book and note how Michael Ende employs word play in the story and realize that sort of thing could never show up in a movie. The overall image of that arrangement and wordplay is that Bastian gets into Fantasia and then has to get out of Fantasia to get back to this world. I think that'd be a better sequel, but the producers opted for a more image-friendly story line.

Then there's time constraints: a movie is 90-180 minutes. A book can take 2-10 times that to read. One lesson I taught was Where the Red Fern Grows and I asked students to notice changes, such as the sheriff that saves the kid from the bullies turns out to be the same guy refereeing the 'coon hunting contest at the end of the movie (not in the book, no, but in the movie to try to minimize confusion over different characters and "tie things together." That's a movie trope. Realisism is a book trope. You make a movie that's realistic and the audience says, "That wouldn't happen!" But it did. Never mind reality; is that depiction of reality credible?

Can a movie be good? I've seen movies that were good but unpopular (Picnic at Hanging Rock). I've seen movies that were popular but horrible (Star Trek). Heh?
